Sonus Faber, a longstanding and award winning loudspeaker company based in Italy, will be offering only 30 pairs of their 3.5-way Sonus Faber Fenice.
The Fenice loudspeakers incorporates three new patents in one product, as one should expect considering the price tag. Sonus Faber's Sound Field Shaper allows for moving the rear driver and adjustment of it's output for optimum room integration and listener preference. On the rear of the unit are knobs that includes the ability to adjust four levels of Soundstage Depth, a knob for Soundstage Azimuth (right/left) and volume output.
Internally, there are tuning ports treated with special materials for tuning the lower frequencies. A specialized decoupling system for the feet of the speaker ensure unwanted vibrations are dampened. The cabinet itself is Lute shaped as this dual curvature design is made with cross grained plywood and uses double thickness constriction layer damped configuration to achieve low cabinet vibration. Driver compliment includes a 25 mm hybrid Neodymium/Samarium-Cobalt Larsen/Goeller ring radiator.
This tweeter is visco-elastically decoupled from the main baffle board. A 6.5-inch cone was chosen for the critical midrange frequencies and employs a blending of traditional cellulose pulp with Papyrus and other natural fibers . The powerful Neodymium magnet system keeps the 1.5-inch voice coil moving in a very linear fashion. The basket is optimized to eliminate resonance and is CNC machined from solid billets of Avional and Gun metal.
For the lowermost frequencies, a pair of 10-inch woofers with innovative sandwich cone structure was chosen, This driver is made with syntactic foam core covered on the two external surfaces by coated cellulose pulp skins and uses a 3" voice-coils on Kapton formers. Lastly, a 15-inch subwoofer also uses a sandwich structure with the main surface made of nano carbon fiber on the syntactic foam core. A 4-inch voice-coil plus both Kapton and Avional in the former round out the driver design. The crossover has a progressive slope structure, with optimized phase/amplitude response.
Top quality parts include Mundorf Silver/Gold/Oil capacitors and Jantzen cross coil inductors. Overall frequency response is from 20 Hz to 35 kHz, sensitivity is a high 92/dB/W/m and the unit presents a 4 Ohms load. Dimensions are 1713 x 747 x 791 (HxWxD in mm) and each unit weighs a very hefty 670 lbs
Only one will be available for India & we hope it comes to Bangalore. For more info check out 6moons .com
