Product Description

The Sonus faber Sonetto VIII is the flagship of the Sonetto Collection, the biggest speaker that evolves the line.

The second generation from the award-winning Sonetto series, Sonetto G2 is the first collection to incorporate acoustic technologies specifically designed for the Suprema system, the elite flagship of the Sonus faber catalog. Taking its name from the sonet – the oldest Italian poetic structure – Sonetto is both steeped in tradition and driven by evolutions in technology.

Derived from the Italian word for “sonet,” meaning “little song,” Sonetto G2 pays homage to the rich traditions of both Italy and Sonus faber. Featuring our signature artisanal craftsmanship and innovative design, each individual driver is custom-engineered specifically for this collection.
 

Lute-shaped speakers, an iconic Sonus faber design element, combines aesthetic elegance with high-fidelity sound, optimizing sound dispersion for an immersive listening experience. Focusing on natural materials, true to Sonus faber tradition, Sonetto G2 follows Suprema’s innovative cork internal chamber design and the Camelia midrange. Harnessing cork’s acoustic properties, the speakers enhance mid-high frequencies resolution and Natural Sound quality. In addition, the familiar high-quality wood cabinets have been enhanced with a new concrete base to provide superior stability and better vibration management.

ITALIAN TRADITIONAL CULTURE

Sonus faber always found its inspiration in the highest Italian culture. This time we entrusted the history of our Literature for representing the new Sonetto Collection. The Sonetto (Sonnet) is the most ancient Italian Poetic structure. Originally it meant “Sound, Melody“and was traditionally used to accompany music performances. The first step in the Sonus faber world brings the name of the foundations of Literature history in Italy and in the rest of the world.

DESIGN

The Sonus faber Sonetto VIII is the most powerful 3-way speaker in the Sonetto collection with three 180mm woofers for the best reproduction of lower frequencies and high-end standards. We have designed a speaker that completely represents our roots. The entire collection is a true Sonus faber that features all the iconic elements of the brand: natural sound, natural materials, the Lute shape, the excellent finishes typical of Italian craftsmanship, and manufacturing done completely in our factory in Vicenza.
