Sonus Faber Olympica G3 I
Artisanal Italian Craftsmanship | Brisbane HiFi High-End Audio Specialist
The Sonus Faber Olympica G3 I is a reference 2-way standmount loudspeaker that combines traditional Italian craftsmanship with advanced acoustic engineering. Handcrafted in Vicenza, Italy, it features Sonus Faber’s signature asymmetrical lute-shaped cabinet design, engineered to reduce internal standing waves while delivering a natural, musical presentation.
Featuring a 29 mm Damped Apex Dome (DAD) silk tweeter and a 150 mm natural-fiber mid-bass driver, the Olympica I delivers rich vocal reproduction, exceptional micro-detail, and refined high-frequency performance in compact to medium-sized listening environments.
At Brisbane HiFi, we recommend the Sonus Faber Olympica G3 I for audiophiles and music lovers seeking a combination of Italian design excellence, emotional musicality, and precision sound reproduction for premium stereo systems.
Key Features & Audio Engineering Highlights
Handcrafted Asymmetrical Lute Enclosure
Constructed from solid walnut and natural wood veneers, the asymmetrical cabinet design eliminates parallel internal surfaces to reduce standing waves, resonance, and distortion.
Hand-Stitched Italian Leather Top
Finished with genuine Italian leather, chrome accents, and elegant curved detailing that reflects Sonus Faber’s iconic handcrafted design philosophy.
29 mm DAD (Damped Apex Dome) Tweeter
The DAD Arrow Point silk dome tweeter combines dome and ring radiator technologies with a phase plug design to deliver smooth, extended high frequencies up to 30 kHz with exceptional refinement.
150 mm Natural Fiber Mid-Woofer
Uses an air-dried cellulose, kapok, and hibiscus fiber cone paired with a high-purity voice coil to provide:
Fast transient response
Natural vocal reproduction
Transparent midrange detail
Controlled bass performance
Stealth Ultraflex / Lateral Aperiodic Venting
The vertical aluminum-clad lateral port system manages airflow efficiently, allowing flexible placement closer to rear walls while minimizing unwanted bass reflections.
Audiophile Bi-Wire Binding Posts
Custom-designed bi-wire terminals allow independent high-frequency and low-frequency amplifier connections for improved system flexibility and resolution.
