Description
Italian poetry. The flagship of the Sonetto Collection.
Inspired by Italian poetry, brought to life by Sonus faber’s core technologies. Sonetto VIII stands as the flagship model of the new Sonetto G2 collection, representing a meticulously crafted tribute to audio excellence.
CORK CHAMBER
The special combination of tweeter and midrange drivers is housed within a distinctive cork chamber specifically tailored for internal volume, aiming to elevate the drivers’ performance. Inherited from the flagship Suprema speaker, the acoustic characteristics of this material significantly contribute to the clarity and organic sound of the midrange output
45° WOOD
The wood veneer with a 45° finish, renowned in prestigious products like the Stradivari, Amati, and the entire Homage series, also graces the design of the new Sonetto G2 collection. This 45° angle wood veneer not only enriches the style of this unique collection but also accentuates the hand-crafted artistry that defines Sonus faber.
CONCRETE BASE
With the introduction of a new concrete base, the Sonetto G2 series not only enhances the stability of its speakers but also reinforces their structural integrity. This innovative addition provides a solid foundation that minimizes vibrations and ensures optimal performance, particularly in demanding listening environments
REFLEX DUCT
Sonetto G2 boasts a newly optimized duct design, strategically engineered to enhance flexibility in speaker placement. Whether a Sonetto G2 speaker is positioned in a corner, against a wall, or in a freestanding configuration, the enhanced duct design ensures optimal airflow and resonance control, resulting in pristine sound reproduction across various room setups.
LEATHER FLANGE
The new Sonetto collection features flanges enhanced by the Italian tradition of leather craftsmanship. This unique touch sets Sonus faber apart in the world of high-fidelity luxury speakers. Renowned for their mastery of this artisan detail, Sonus faber takes pride in bringing unparalleled elegance and craftsmanship to their designs.
PHASE COHERENT CROSSOVER
The Phase Coherent Crossover design philosophy implemented in the Sonetto G2 Collection ensures precise synchronization of the drivers’ phase rotations, striving for maximum parallelism. This meticulous alignment results in an immersive soundstage that is incredibly defined and palpable, allowing audiophiles to experience music with a heightened sense of realism.
ORGANIC BASKET
Our organic basket exemplifies the fusion of advanced technology and nature-inspired design principles for enhanced sound reproduction. Found not only in our Reference, Homage and Wireless Collections, but also in the Sonetto G2 series, the basket’s asymmetrical shape provides structural support to the driver without recurring patterns. This distinctive, nature-evocative design promotes superior airflow around the driver, ensuring impeccable sound quality.
SILK DOME TWEETER
The tweeter in the Sonetto G2 collection features state-of-the-art Silk Dome DAD™ (Damped Apex Dome) technology. With a response extending beyond 30kHz, made possible by the incorporation of a copper cup, the tweeter reproduces the finest nuances in the audio spectrum, ensuring exceptional clarity, detail and pristine sound.
CAMELIA MIDRANGE SPEAKER
Initially developed for Suprema, the Camelia midrange speaker features the organic basket with a membrane inspired by the shape of the camelia flower. Its shape, with its five cuts, avoids the resonances found in typical circular shapes and enhances the Natural Sound signature to Sonus faber. The membrane is left unpainted to ensure total sound purity.
FLOWER PATTERNED SURROUND WOOFER
The rubber driver surround features a unique floral pattern that encases the sandwich cone structure of the Sonetto woofers. Its asymmetric shape disrupts the circular modes of the driver, ensuring greater linearity in sound reproduction. This design reduces interference and improves sound dispersion, delivering incredible low-frequency performance.
BINDING POST COVER
The round binding post cover, adorned with the Sonus faber logo and available on all Sonetto G2 models – except Sonetto Wall – serves both a functional and decorative purpose. Designed specifically for bi-wiring binding posts, the cover ensures the integrity of the connections while adding a touch of refinement to the rear panel of the speakers.
