Overview

ESSENCE OF A BRAND
Since 1983, many moments have marked the history of Sonus Faber; the launch of the Olympica collection 6 years ago is one of them. One of the first lines presented as a complete family of products, but above all, the very first one to feature original drivers, entirely designed in Sonus faber.
Olympica Nova is the second generation of the iconic family of 2013, improved in its form and substance, imbued with the timeless values that inspired us in creating the original line.
The result is a new Collection that embraces the most advanced technologies that already enhance our most prestigious creations.

ORGANIC SHAPE
The lack of flat and parallel walls improves enclosure performance and maintains the typical asymmetrical Lute shape of first generation Olympica.
The asymmetrical shape of the cabinet is an original design concept that allows versatile positioning of the Olympica Nova I speakers to tune the bass response in any room.
Inspired by nature, the lines follow the flow of a circular spiral motion, achieving a more organic cabinet structure.
No longer just a functional element added to handle airflow, the reflex duct is now fully integrated into the cabinet, further improving the speed and transparency of sound.

Olympica Nova I is the bookshelf model of the line wonderfully finished in its clean design, intended to be used on a bookshelf or on its stand.

WOOD & LEATHER
Just like the cabinet sides, the front baffle and the top are made in the walnut or wenge hand-finished natural wood, set in a solid die-cast aluminium plate. Our designers wished to pay homage to the most representative material of Sonus Faber, making it even more of a standard-bearer. The natural leather embellishes the Voice of Sonus Faber, the brand's iconic configuration of tweeter and midrange and enriches the aesthetic rings around the woofers. Genuine Italian leather that, as per our brand's tradition, is applied by hand in the production department in Vicenza.

TWEETER, MIDRANGE & WOOFER
The 28mm silk soft dome tweeter features the DAD technology (Damped Apex Dome) that enhances the smoothness and extension in the high frequency by applying local dampening to the apex typically responsible for anti-phase behaviour of soft dome diaphragms. The DAD structure has been totally redesigned; a solid piece of aluminium die-cast includes both arch and ring on the dome to increase the strength and accuracy of the system. The midrange is completely designed and developed in Sonus Faber laboratories. Its cone is realised cooperating with Kurtmueller and represents the most advanced stage of the traditional Sonus Faber recipe: an air dried non pressed blend of cellulose pulp and other natural fibres: kapok and kenaf. This natural drying process gives the diaphragm a slightly rough surface of varying density and contributes damping and distributing cone resonances while guaranteeing a natural sound, increased transparency and details. The precious phase plug enhances the mid-hi frequencies emission while proudly stating that the Olympica Nova collection is made in Italy. The woofer cone has been developed in cooperation with Kurtmueller and it's based on an exclusive sandwich construction technique: two external layers of cellulose pulp are combined with a layer of hi-tech syntactic foam in between. This low mass and hi rigidity cone construction allows for a perfect reproduction of the low frequencies while guaranteeing absolute tonal coherence with the midrange. This transducer is assembled in Italy.

REFLEX PORT
The solid piece of extruding aluminium that completes the Stealth Ultraflex system, an extremely low-turbulence porting system, is inherited from Homage Tradition models. Favouring the profile of sea waves, the structure facilitates airflow through the duct while controlling its speed and reducing the distortion-causing turbulence.

CROSSOVER
The crossover network implements Paracross Topology, making the crossover less sensitive to radio-frequency interference, improving transient response and lowering noise floor. The filtering topology features new exclusive Clarity Cap capacitors, customised for Sonus Faber.

STRUCTURAL RIGIDITY & SUPPORTS
Similar to the Homage Tradition and Reference Collections, the walls are made with eight layers of blended wood, providing the cabinet with extreme rigidity. Inside the cabinet, carefully placed structural ribs are used as reinforcement to reduce vibration and to handle the overall power of the transducers movement. The bookshelf model has been designed with the new custom Aluminium extruded stand that features a cable guide, to hide the power cable in the column.

We recommend positioning the speakers away from the corners of the room and the walls by at least 70-80 cm. In terms of the distance between the speakers themselves, we advise keeping them within 150-250 cm of each other.

The loudspeakers do not require any special maintenance except for periodic general cleaning. To preserve the finish of the loudspeakers, protect them with the supplied fabric covers, especially if they are not used for a prolonged period of time.

Remember to not use cleaning products, furniture waxes, cleaning liquids or alcohol that could stain or damage the wood or the speakers. Do not use rough cloths.

To clean the wooden part of the cabinet and the leather parts, use a soft cloth (such as a microfiber) just moistened at the most, taking care not to dampen the drivers. To clean and prevent the gaskets of the drivers from the hardening, you may use a silicon-based product and carefully apply it by using a soft cloth.

Wood is a natural and always alive material, therefore sensitive to external agents. Avoid positioning the loudspeakers near heat sources or near windows, especially during the summer months. Do not leave the speakers exposed to direct sunlight.

To remove the dust from the cabinet, the front panels and/or the speakers, we recommend using a soft brush paying much attention not to damage the delicate membranes of the speakers.

The choice of amplification always depends on personal tastes. Also the environment, where the loudspeakers are installed, is an important variable to consider. There is not one perfect amplifier for every single speaker.

Kindly contact our specialists at Dubai Audio with your requirements and we will be happy to assist you.

All loudspeakers have been designed and developed to guarantee an ideal balance between volumes and sound, consequently each speaker is made on the basis of a unique electroacoustic project exclusively dedicated to the specific model. The inclined bases of the speakers are an integral part of the electroacoustic design as they provide the right inclination of the speakers to ensure an optimal reproduction. For this reason, we recommend that you do not change the inclination.

Furthermore, it is not possible to upgrade the loudspeaker components as it would modify their electroacoustic design. By changing a driver, the whole crossover should be re-designed that is to say developing a new speaker.
