Check out the refreshed Sonus Faber Sonetto G2 collection!

Phil Werbin

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.
