Presented in style in style during the 2024 Munich High End competition, held from May 9 to 12, the Sonetto G2 “collection” It is the latest generation of the iconic and award-winning Sonetto series of loudspeakers from the renowned Italian brand Sonus Faber. Designed to take the High Fidelity and Home Theater listening experience to higher levels of excellence with the “plus” of a very competitive quality/price ratio within its category, the new models, seven in total, They are the fruit of the tradition of tireless pursuit of perfection that has always characterized the charismatic Arcugnano company. The Sonetto G2 shines first of all for the uniqueness of its conception, especially with regard to the transducer engineering employees. So, each speaker of the range is specifically intended for it, highlighting the use, for the first time, of acoustic technologies present in the formidable Sonus Faber Supreme Supreme reference speaker system, shown for the first time in January of this year during the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. One of these innovations, present in the Sonetto V G2 and the Sonetto VIII G2, is the imaginative cork camera internal, provided with a purely organic shape and devoid of regular walls that ensures a seamless sound wave flow in order to control the propagation and resonances of sound.
As in the Suprema, the Sonetto V G2, the Sonetto VIII G2 and the Sonetto Center G2 include the camellia midrange speakeran elaborate transducer with an organic chassis that has been left Unpainted intentionally to maximize sound puritywhile including a scatter modifier aluminum in order to smooth the frequency response curve and global clarity both on the axis of symmetry and outside it. Besides, the peripheral suspension of the “midwoofers” and woofers exhibits a unique floral pattern that not only adds visual elegance, but also contributes to reduce interference and increase the range of linearity. In the acoustic field, we must highlight the classic lute-shaped profile built with high-quality wood panels from Sonus Faber, to which a concrete base providing superior stability and better vibration management. For their part, the woofers incorporate a sandwich structure cone of paper pulp, in order to obtain a bass response precise and dynamic, adding to this an organic housing that optimizes the flow of the audio signal and magnetic motors equipped with demodulation rings aluminum in order to improve linearity. As for the tweetersmount a 28 mm diameter silk dome with the effective DAD (“Damped Apex Dome”) technology, which allows the frequency response to be extended beyond 30,000 Hz thanks to the addition of a copper cup, guaranteeing a perfect restitution of the most subtle nuances of music. As far as the enclosure configuration is concerned, all of them are bass-reflex except for the Sonetto G2 Wall, whose enclosure is hermetic type.
As for the Sonetto I G2 and the Sonetto II G2, the Intono construction by Sonus Faber prevents the appearance of spurious frequencies and distortions inside the reflex duct, thus relaxing the presentation of the sound. As regards the management of each of the sets of speakers mentioned, it is entrusted to a crossover filter Phase Coherent in order to synchronize their phase rotations, while in the case of the Sonetto V G2 and Sonetto VIII G2 columns one of the sophisticated hybrid IFF circuitry and Paracross Topology exclusive to Sonus Faber. The renewed Sonetto are completed with an aesthetic that combines classic elements of the transalpine brand with other last-minute ones like the aforementioned concrete base in the column type, the round cover that protects the connection terminals (specifically designed for bi-wiring) and three endings in high quality wood with a meticulously crafted grain. Let us also emphasize the availability of a optional floor stand made of aluminum, concrete and steel, the Sonetto Stand G2, in the shelf models. The Sonetto G2 is composed of the Sonetto I G2 and Sonetto II G2 compact monitors, the Sonetto III G2, Sonetto V G2 and Sonetto VIII G2 columns, the Sonetto Wall G2 compact wall-mount monitor and the Sonetto Center G2 center speaker.
