Natural Sound Philosophy
Embracing Sonus faber’s “Voice of Nature” design, the Sonetto VIII G2 uses organic materials and advanced technology for a pure, natural sound signature.

Cork
The special combination of tweeters and midrange drivers is housed within a distinctive cork chamber specifically tailored for internal volume, aiming to elevate the drivers’ performance. Inherited from the flagship Suprema speaker, the acoustic characteristics of this material significantly contribute to the clarity and organic sound of the midrange output.

Camelia Midrange Speaker
Initially developed for Suprema, the Camelia midrange speaker features the organic basket with a membrane inspired by the shape of the camelia flower. Its shape, with its five cuts, avoids the resonances found in typical circular shapes and enhances the Natural Sound signature to Sonus faber. The membrane is left unpainted to ensure total sound purity.

Concrete Base
With the introduction of a new concrete base, the Sonetto G2 series not only enhances the stability of its speakers but also reinforces their structural integrity. This innovative addition provides a solid foundation that minimizes vibrations and ensures optimal performance, particularly in demanding listening environments

Phase Coherent
The Phase Coherent Crossover design philosophy implemented in the Sonetto G2 Collection ensures precise synchronization of the drivers’ phase rotations, striving for maximum parallelism. This meticulous alignment results in an immersive soundstage that is incredibly defined and palpable, allowing audiophiles to experience music with a heightened sense of realism.

Elegant Italian Design
The Sonetto VIII G2 combines walnut wood, leather, and a sleek concrete base, making it a visually stunning addition to any home, while its curved “lute” shape optimizes acoustics and aesthetics.
