Sonetto II Features

An elegant piece of furniture that fills the environment with its warm and enveloping ``voice``.

LEATHER TOP
The Sonus Faber Sonetto collection's floorstanding and bookshelf models inherit from the Olympica line the leather top, hand sewn, soft to the touch and embellished by the hot branded Sonus Faber Logo.

TWEETER, MIDRANGE & WOOFER
The combination of a silk dome tweeter with the DAD (Damped Apex Dome) technology and a midrange with a special natural fibre and a paper blend air dried diaphragm, defines our iconic 'Voice Of Sonus Faber'. This configuration that characterised the entire Sonus Faber catalogue, from the Reference to the Olympica collection, is available for the first time in this price range. These speakers have been designed from scratch specifically for this collection and the feature the die cast basket, done completely in Sonus Faber laboratories.

LUTE SHAPED
The lute shape that characterises most of the Sonus Faber models, offers a solution that ensures no internal parallel surfaces and a perfect control over internal resonances.

REFLEX PORT
The Senetto collection's reflex ports are all sited on the base of the speakers, except for the centre channels, to keep the design as clean as possible and at the same time make in-room placement very forgiving.

STRUCTURAL RIGIDITY
Consistent with the most prestigious Sonus Faber models, aluminium has been chosen for the bookshelf stands, extruded or milled from solid billets, to provide an extreme rigidity.

Sonetto Center II Features

he silk dome tweeter with the DAD (Damped Apex Dome) technology is placed in the centre channels' front panel, with two 150mm midranges with the natural fibre and paper blend air dried diaphragm and the Sonus Faber die cast basket. Once again the combination of these drivers, made with natural materials, ensures the typical timber of the brand and make the "Voice of Sonus Faber". For an optimal lowest frequencies reproduction, a special aluminium alloy diaphragm has been designed. It allows an ultra-fast, tight and yet deep bass performance.

ESSENTIAL DESIGN
According with the typical clean design language and elegant proportions of the collection, the centre channels' front baffle is an integral part of the cabinet creating a seamless structure with the curved sides. The gun-metal finished aluminium aesthetic rings, that frame the new drivers, are the only elements that break this continuity.
