Sonus faber Sonetto V G2 Speaker

Acoustics

The lute shape of the speakers, an iconic design feature of Sonus faber, not only adds a touch of elegance but also optimises sound dispersion for an immersive listening experience.

The high-quality wood cabinet has been further enhanced with a new concrete base, providingsuperior stability and better vibration management for impeccable sound performance.

The woofer features a paper pulp sandwich cone for precise and dynamic bass response, paired with an organic basket for optimal air flow. Motors include aluminum demodulation rings to improve linearity.

Camellia Mid-Range Design

First developed for Suprema, the Camelia midrange speaker features the recognizable membrane inspired by the camelia flower’s shape, left unpainted to ensure total sound purity, mounted on the unique organic basket.

Its peculiar shape avoids the resonances typically found in circular shaped membranes and enhances the Natural Sound signature to Sonus faber.

The aluminum Phase Plug allows for optimized frequency response and clarity, both on and off axis. The Camelia Midrange is featured on Sonetto VIII, Sonetto V, and Sonetto Center.

Material Innovations - Cork Enclosures

In a pioneering move for the industry, Sonus faber has implemented cork in the loading of the mid-range speakers. Initially introduced in the Suprema, this approach utilizes cork's natural acoustic properties to enhance sound quality by optimizing the loading conditions for the mid-range drivers. This material choice also reflects a commitment to sustainability, reducing the use of damping materials inside the speaker enclosures. The use of cork is expanded throughout the new Sonetto range, influencing both acoustic performance and environmental impact.

Design highlights

The Sonetto G2 series features a host of classic Sonus faber design highlights, including:

The inclusion of a concrete base, which not only enhances stability and minimizes vibrations but also adds a modern and industrial aesthetic element to the speakers, complementing the classic wood and leather finishes. Concrete bases came with rubber feet, with optional spikes.

The round binding post cover, adorned with the Sonus faber logo, serves both a functional and decorative purpose. Designed specifically for bi-wiring binding posts, it ensures the integrity of connections while adding a touch of refinement to the rear panel of the speakers.

The wood grain in the new Sonetto G2 collection is meticulously crafted to achieve a higher level of detail and refinement. Each speaker's wood finish is expertly executed to highlight the unique character and texture of the wood, resulting in a truly exquisite visual presentation.
