Sonetto VIII

POWER AND 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


Sonetto VIII represents the organic legacy of the Suprema system into a 3-way floorstanding speaker. The iconic elements of Sonus faber converge in this exemplary piece. A design philosophy based on Natural Sound and natural materials as well as a visionary pursuit of sonic excellence are imbued in this high-end luxury speaker, hand-crafted in Italy.

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.

 

THE VOICE OF SONUS FABER

The midrange design of the Sonetto V builds upon the Sonus faber Suprema midrange technology. It incorporates the distinct untainted Camelia diaphragm, renowned for its clarity and precision. Additionally, the inclusion of a carefully engineered aluminum phase plug ensures optimal dispersion and coherence. The result is an immersive and lifelike listening experience emblematic of the Natural Sound known as “The Voice of Sonus faber.”

 

CORK


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.

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

 


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.
