Sonus Faber Sonetto VIII G2
VISUAL AND AUDIO ELEGANCE
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.
A REPRESENTATION OF OUR ROOTS
AN ELEVATION OF SOUND
Sonetto VIII is the most powerful 3-way speaker of the Sonetto collection. The unique pairing of tweeters and midrange in Sonetto VIII is encased in a bespoke cork chamber, meticulously designed to optimize internal volume and enhance driver performance. Borrowed from the flagship Suprema speaker, the acoustic properties of cork play a pivotal role in enhancing midrange clarity and delivering a natural, organic sound output.
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 VIII.
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.
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.
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.
THE VOICE OF SONUS FABER
The use of organic materials and designs inspired by nature defines the Natural Sound philosophy that embodies "The Voice of Sonus faber."
