ADVANCED DESIGN FOR POWERFUL PERFORMANCE

Sonus faber Sonetto I creates a remarkably precise and immersive soundstage.

The innovative design of this high-fidelity speaker reproduces music with heightened realism and depth, providing an optimal listening experience for discerning audiophiles.

CLASSIC DESIGN

The lute shape that characterises most of the Sonus faber models has been redesigned to ensures the delivery of the perfect control over internal resonances.

THE VOICE OF SONUS FABER

The Sonetto I carries the “Voice of Sonus faber” with its use of the brand new mid-woofer featuring the flower patterned surround and a newly optimised duct design.

Developed with inspirations found in nature, their signature Natural Sound delivers a rich and pristine listening experience.

The rubber driver surround utilises a unique floral pattern that encases the sandwich cone structure of the Sonetto I mid-woofers.

Its asymmetric shape breaks the circular modes of the driver and ensures greater linearity in sound reproduction, reducing interference and improving sound dispersion.

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 minimises vibrations and ensures optimal performance, particularly in demanding listening environments.

INTONO TECHNOLOGY

Sonus faber Intono technology offers a construction solution designed to eliminate unwanted frequencies and distortions within the cabinet, resulting in a quieter cabinet and an overall enhanced sound performance.

Implemented in the Sonetto I and II speakers, Intono sits between the reflex duct and the internal acoustic chamber.

REFLEX DUCT

As with each speaker in the Sonetto G2 Collection, Sonetto I boasts a newly optimised duct design, strategically engineered to enhance flexibility in speaker placement.

This innovative reflex duct, when combined with the concrete base, revolutionises the listening experience by offering unparalleled versatility and performance.

Whether positioned in a corner, against a wall, or in a freestanding configuration, the enhanced duct design ensures optimal airflow and resonance control, resulting in pristine sound reproduction across various room setups.

By incorporating this advanced technology, Sonetto G2 speakers not only adapt effortlessly to diverse environments but also deliver consistently exceptional audio quality, elevating the standard of home entertainment.

OPEN PORE WOOD

The open pore fine wood finish of the Sonetto I showcases the natural beauty of the wood grain while providing a tactile and visually appealing texture.

This finish enhances the organic feel of the speakers, creating a harmonious blend of aesthetics and craftsmanship in tune with Sonus faber Natural Sound.
