Sonus Faber Stradivari

An Iconic Legacy Redesigned

Designed in honor of Antonio Stradivari, the second generation of Stradivari is steeped in tradition - yet reinvented with modern innovation and elegance.

A FINE INSTRUMENT

The violins of Italian luthier Antonio Stradivari are universally celebrated as some of the finest ever crafted. Stradivari's commitment to precision, artistry, and innovation continue to be reflected in this new generation of the Stradivari loudspeaker.

Released twenty years after the original design to the HiFi world by storm, the evolution of Stradivari coincides with Sonus faber’s 40th anniversary, emphasizing our commitment to both honoring our roots and staying on the forefront of acoustical engineering.

DEDICATION TO PROGRESS AND INGENUITY

Stradivari takes inspiration from the Italian Renaissance violin making tradition. In the eighteenth century, advancements in violin making challenged classical rules by enlarging the instrument’s shape to create a unique tone.

Similarly, the reintroduction of the Stradivari speaker uses the latest advancement in audio technology to widen and enhance the soundstage. With cutting-edge engineering in low-frequency management, one of Stradivari’s most distinctive features is the ability to adjust the woofers to the size of the room, individually adapting pristine sound to every unique space.

TRADITIONAL DESIGN WITH A MODERN TOUCH

Stradivari maintains the legacy of meticulous woodworking and artisanship at the heart of every Sonus faber product. Seven layers of lacquer result in a rich red finish that covers the entire body of the Stradivari. The iconic front soundboard evokes the artistry of timeless wood-crafted musical instruments with modern influences woven in through interspersed aluminum architecture.

The design of the Stradivari maximizes the power of low frequencies with a unique design that expands the soundstage. Through careful simulations and adaptations run by our Research and Design team, the non-parallel walls within the acoustic chamber of the woofers prevent the formation of standing waves above the tuned frequencies. The result is the highest quality sound reproduction with our signature Natural Sound.

ICONIC SONUS FABER DESIGN

Stradivari G2 unites Sonus faber’s most iconic materials and finishes.

TRANSFORMATIVE TECHNOLOGY AND DESIGN

The most detailed artisanship meets upgraded patented technology and iconic Sonus faber design queues om the latest generation of Stradivari.

INTONO TECHNOLOGY

Through an intensive study of the resonant cavities and the creation of a calibrated drilling of the midrange acoustic chamber, Intono technology guarantees the most natural reproduction of the medium frequencies. The energy of the air spring generated by the movement of the speaker is channeled and reduced by the Intono duct, significantly reducing the size and the filter components of the crossover.

CLEPSYDRA TECHNOLOGY

Stradivari's reflex system combines an innovative hourglass geometry for enhanced low-frequency performance with a compact duct length. Its downfiring design provides flexible placement options. Non-parallel walls in the woofer chamber eliminate unwanted standing waves, a result of meticulous engineering by the Sonus faber team to ensure top-tier sound quality.

LOW FREQUENCY ADJUSTER

Sonus faber's Low Frequency Adjuster system (LFA) provides precise control over ultra-low tuning and optimizes room response without compromise.

Inspired by the compensation of the resonance peak of the driver in the enclosure, the LFA is able to obtain an electrical damping of the low range without therefore introducing resistive elements in series with the signal.

On the board, a four-pin system is implemented: one common and three peripheral which are connected to the central unit with a jumper, where each of the three possible composition positions allows the user to set a different low frequency response.

WOOFER

The new dual gap woofer designed by Sonus faber guarantees symmetry of the motor force and minimizes distortions intrinsic to a conventional magnetic circuit design.

PHASE COHERENT IFF TOPOLOGY

Sonus faber's IFF topology and "Phase Coherent" philosophy provide an immersive, distortion-free listening experience. Components in the passive filter are expertly selected for pristine sound even at high volumes.
