SONETTO

Lute-shaped speakers, an iconic Sonus faber design element, combines aesthetic elegance with high-fidelity sound, optimizing sound dispersion for an immersive listening experience. Focusing on natural materials, true to Sonus faber tradition, Sonetto G2 follows Suprema’s innovative cork internal chamber design and the Camelia midrange. Harnessing cork’s acoustic properties, the speakers enhance mid-high frequencies resolution and Natural Sound quality. In addition, the familiar high-quality wood cabinets have been enhanced with a new concrete base to provide superior stability and better vibration management.

SONETTO V

The special combination of tweeters 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. 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. 45° WOOD The wood veneer with the 45° finish, familiar in prestigious products such as Stradivari, Amati, and the entire Homage series, is also found in the design new Sonetto G2 collection. The 45° angle wood veneer enriches the style of this unique collection and accentuates the hand-crafted artisanry of Sonus faber. FLOWER PATTERNED SURROUND The rubber driver surround utilizes a unique floral pattern that encases the sandwich cone structure of the Sonetto V woofers. Its asymmetric shape breaks the circular modes of the driver and ensures greater linearity in sound reproduction, reducing interference and improving sound dispersion. TWEETER COPPER CUP 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 and detail in the pristine sound reproduction of Sonetto V

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.

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. PHASE COHERENT 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. 2,5 way Midwoofer rear vented box Woofer down vented box Loudspeakers High-end quality drivers Tweeter: 1,1" DAD™ Arrow Point extended frequency tweeter, Copper shorting ring Midwoofer: 1x 6,5" Midwoofer, Aluminum demodulation ring Woofer: 1x 6,5" woofer, Aluminum demodulation ring Crossover Points 2700 Hz Frequency response 38 Hz - 40000 Hz Sensitivity 88 dB SPL (2.83 V/1m) Nominal impedance 4 Ohm Recommended power amplifier 50 W - 280 W
