Check out the refreshed Sonus Faber Sonetto G2 collection!

The Sonetto G2 collection stands out for its bespoke approach to design, particularly in the custom engineering of each individual driver. Every driver in the Sonetto G2 series is meticulously crafted specifically for this collection – the first to incorporate acoustic technologies specifically developed for Sonus faber’s groundbreaking Suprema system, which was introduced earlier this year.

The Sonetto G2 collection includes a complete range of speakers, including stand-mount, floor- standing, and wall-mount options, designed to meet the needs of every listener, whether a music enthusiast or a professional audiophile. Each speaker has been constructed with high-quality materials and finished with the utmost attention to detail, embodying the very essence of Italian craftsmanship.

Acoustics Highlights

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

• The high-quality wood cabinet has been further enhanced with a new concrete base, providing superior 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.

• The tweeter in the Sonetto G2 collection features state-of-the-art Silk Dome DADTM (Damped Apex Dome) technology. With a response extending beyond 30kHz thanks to the incorporation of a copper cup, the tweeter reproduces the finest nuances in the audio spectrum, ensuring exceptional clarity and detail in sound reproduction.

Design Highlights

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

• Mid-High unity flange wrapped in leather (inspired by Olympica Nova and Stradivari)

• 45° angle top wood finish

• Metal finished rings around all drivers

• Single driver dust grills

The series also features design highlights that are new to Sonus faber products, 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.

Introducing the new BlueSound Node Family!

The Bluesound Node is getting a refresh along with two brand new models, the Bluesound Nano and the Bluesound Icon. The Nano is a more compact version of the Node, while the Icon includes a brand new display as well as many more inputs and outputs.

Here is a look at the new Nano next to an NAD integrated amplifier.

For the Audio Obsessed: From carefully built audio circuitry and components, to its breakthrough processing power and measurements, the NODE NANO is all about design and engineering. At its very core is an industry-leading ESS SABRE® DAC with Hyperstream® IV technology to deliver music (up to 24-bit/192kHz) with breathtaking dynamics and ultra-low distortion.

Built for Any Streaming Source: NODE NANO is powered by BluOS and natively supports many popular music streaming services including Amazon Music, Pandora, Qobuz, SiriusXM, Tidal, and more. It also features Apple AirPlay 2, aptX™ Adaptive Bluetooth, Spotify Connect, and Tidal Connect—perfect for listeners and users who want to stream all their favorite music, apps, and services with one device.

Simple and Easy: NODE NANO features a simple set of digital/analog outputs for connecting to existing audio components via RCA, Coax, Optical, and USB. It also features a backlit front touch panel for quick control and access up to two (2) programmable presets.

Our Best Streamer Ever Built: With carefully selected componentry, and a masterfully engineered Dual-Mono DAC design, the NODE ICON sets a new benchmark for wireless music streamers. It uses two ESS SABRE® ES9039Q2M DACs and a low-noise power supply to deliver superior dynamic range, ultra-low distortion, and the highest possible resolution ever heard. DAC performance is further enhanced by MQA Labs’ revolutionary technology, QRONO d2a, which corrects any timing errors in the digital-to-analogue conversion process and realigns the timing response to the original recording.

Beautifully Designed for Audiophiles: NODE ICON features a high-quality aluminum chassis and a stunning 5” full-colour HD display. Its sleek gloss black finish integrates seamlessly into any home or system, while its balanced XLR outputs are directly connected to the Dual-Mono DACs for exceptionally clear audio. It also features THX AAA™ headphone technology and supports DSD playback for studio-quality recordings.

High-Performance ADC: The NODE ICON is equipped with the latest two-channel ES9826 SABRE® ADC to power the conversion of analog audio to digital, adding virtually no noise or distortion to the signal path. The result is true-to-source analog audio with the convenience and versatility of digital.
