Sonus Faber Aida

A new Sonus faber speaker is born, radically renewing and expressing the essence of this esteemed Italian loudspeaker builder.

The precious knowledge gained through the design, development and manufacturing of the limited edition 'The Sonus Faber' speaker has resulted in the new and exciting Aida. This new Sonus faber is a speaker 'as grandiose as a Giuseppe Verdi opera, able to radically renew and at the same time express the unchanging Sonus Faber values. Just as Giuseppe Verdi signaled a turning point in opera combing tradition with innovation in his spectacular opera 'Aida', so too does Sonus faber aim at absolute excellence with this new product.

As always, in this new Sonus faber model, innovation is key. A 'lyre' shape characterizes the 3.5-way floorstanding speaker that, when compared to previous solutions implemented, significantly increases the structural strength and guarantees excellent management of the energy produced inside the speaker. The complex vibration and resonance deadening system implemented eliminates any traces of possible disturbance to the purity of sound. The enclosures internal walls and the external 'wing', both with dual curves in multi-layered cross veined Okoumè wood, are equipped with a decoupling system made up of layers of a viscous insulating material thus implementing the technique of 'constrained layer damping' to the highest level. The Aida's electro-acoustic structure is based upon an anti-vibrational axle made of non-magnetic alloy steel that binds top and bottom of the cabinet's internal cavity. This 'Tuned Mass Damper' when coupled with the 'Stealth Reflex' enclosure design, which reduces low frequency distortion and increases extension, is designed to dissipate any spurious created vibrations to the point of inaudibility. Additionally, the 'Z.V.T' (Zero Vibration Transmission) technique which decouples the speaker from the floor uses a hybrid suspension called 'Bow Spring', that employs a 'crossbow' drawn to flexing point and an elastomer structure with progressive yielding, in order to further reduce spurious resonance and acoustic feedback. The result is a virtually inert structure free from music destroying vibration and resonance.

The Aida drivers are all custom made and purpose built to perform at the highest level of fidelity. Each frequency zone and complimentary drive unit that serves it, high-frequency, midrange, low and infra-bass, have an optimized acoustic environment which allow them to operate to their highest potential. And for truly realistic sound reproduction, Aida boasts the patented 'Sound Field Shaper' that allows for adjustment of the balance between both the direct and indirect projection of sound.

Design and craftsmanship have key roles in Aida. The fluid lines of Aida, tense and harmonic form the 'lyre' shape, ten leaves of overlaid curved Okume dress the cabinet, together with vertical motif leather. Two external wings tighten in an embrace surrounding the central structure of Aida, closed at the base by the 'Bow Spring' crossbow in anodized Avional aluminum, milled from whole pieces and the top sees the use of a mirror in tempered glass, which highlights the timeless beauty of Aida, "proudly hand-crafted in Italy".

Sonus Faber Stradivari Homage

The tribute to Stradivari further defines that ambition to bring the identity of the loudspeaker ever more closer to that of a musical instrument.

At its outset, the project was based on the idea that a front that was wider than traditional canons could lead to the simulation of the 2π infinite plane, translating the model of a theoretically perfect acoustic source and offering an absolutely innovative reproduction performance.

And thus, the large front panel: it does not disperse but accumulates the energy of the loudspeakers, and then reflects it. An elliptic design for a three-way system capable of offering a totally different, emotionally enthusiastic response.

Sonus Faber Amati Futura

By the name of the famous lutist of the Cremona school, an ensemble of experience and solutions – both esthetic and technical from the Sonus faber take their shape in a brand new project. futura Amati: the first step in this new and exciting direction, towards the revolution of sound.

First, a restyling of a famous and worldwide appreciated collection. Second, a creation that gives a deep sense to the great R&D effort that has been invested in "the Sonus faber". futura Amati is not to be considered an "isolated episode" but a capital of know-how and culture serving the best possible reproduction of music at every level.

The "Exo-Squeleton" clamp is implemented by the 2 CNC machined avional nickel-plated end-covers on the top and on the bottom of the cabinet, together with two dual avional rear "wings", that absorbe, convey and delete spurious vibrations from the cabinet. For a musical reproduction in the deepest silence also innovations from the Sonus faber have been used: the L.V.T. Syste, (Low Vibration Transmission), the Stealth Reflex System and the T.M.D. (Tuned Mass Damper).

Sonus Faber Cremona M

(M = modified) is a loudspeaker that builds forward the recognized technological value of Elipsa in order to achieve new levels of performance in sound reproduction. State of the art components - with particular reference to the midrange made of wood fiber - combined with a cross-over network that remains faithful to the principle of maximum simplicity, allows this loudspeaker to express itself with great speed, transparency, naturalness and with control of low frequencies.

This allows it to be installed in small rooms as well as large.

An unquestionable timbric balance places Cremona M to the top levels of music reproduction.

Sonus Faber Liuto

The name of this new speaker is rich in meaning and values from the history of Sonus faber. It inherits and yet redefines the characteristics of the Cremona series, starting with the famous shape of the cabinet. A rare combination of high-level technical solutions, graceful design and use of innovative materials is also a testament to Sonus Faber manufacturing skills.

Liuto is the result of meticulous fine-tuning during long, painstaking listening sessions, supported by accurate instrumental testing.

Its characteristics ensure powerful sound, rich in undertones and capable of arousing real emotion without losing coherence and tonal balance. It is an ensemble of musical qualities that will enthuse listeners every time.
