Sonetto G2 series – High-end technology meets Italian design

The Sonetto VIII G2 creates a remarkably precise and immersive soundstage. The innovative construction of this high-fidelity speaker reproduces music with increased realism and depth, providing an optimal listening experience for discerning audiophiles. The second generation of the award-winning Sonetto series is the first collection to incorporate acoustic technologies specifically designed for the Suprema system, the flagship of the Sonus faber catalog. The name Sonetto comes from the sonnet, the oldest Italian poetic structure, and the series unites tradition with technological advances.

Advanced and elegant design with authentic sound

With its open-pore wood finish, the Sonetto VIII G2 highlights the natural beauty of the wood, providing a tactile and visually appealing texture. This finish enhances the organic feel of the speakers, creating a harmonious blend of aesthetics and craftsmanship that fits perfectly into any stylish home. The new concrete base improves the stability and structural integrity of the speaker, minimizing vibrations and ensuring optimal performance, especially in demanding listening environments.

The Sonetto VIII G2 also features Sonus Faber's iconic lute shape, which maximizes structural rigidity and improves acoustic performance by reducing standing waves in the cabinet. Standing waves in the cabinet introduce distortion and energy loss, which are one of the biggest obstacles to perfect sound reproduction.

DAD Silk Dome for a clean and clear treble

The Sonetto VIII G2's silk dome DAD (Damped Apex Dome) tweeter is equipped with state-of-the-art technology. With a response that extends beyond 30 kHz, the tweeter is able to reproduce the finest nuances with the greatest clarity. Here you can look forward to experiencing even the most subtle details in the music, which helps to provide a much more complete listening experience.

Camelia midrange with precise and natural sound

The Sonetto VIII G2's midrange driver, developed for Suprema, features a unique Camelia-patterned diaphragm and organic basket. This design combination reduces resonances and improves sound dispersion, resulting in a clean and dynamic sound reproduction. The diaphragm is uncolored to ensure total sonic purity, making the midrange sound clear and natural.

Unique cork chamber enhances midrange

The Sonetto VIII G2 stands out with its innovative cork chamber, taken directly from the exclusive Suprema system. The unique chamber is designed with an organic shape that allows a smoother flow of sound waves, thereby achieving better control over sound propagation and resonances. The result is a much more natural and clear midrange, completely free of distortion.

Floral patterned bass – powerful and precise sound

The Sonetto VIII G2's woofers feature a floral patterned edge that not only adds visual elegance but also helps reduce interference and improve sound dispersion. The cones consist of a paper pulp sandwich structure, ensuring precise and dynamic bass response.

The new and innovative chassis of the Sonetto VIII G2 provides structural support for the units without recurring patterns, promoting superior airflow around the driver and guaranteeing unrivaled sound quality. The unique chassis is trickle-down technology from Sonus Faber's Reference and Homage Collections, which really helps to underline the high quality and efficient performance of the Sonetto V2 G2.

Concrete base provides stability and minimizes vibrations

With the introduction of a new concrete base, the Sonetto G2 series not only improves the stability of its speakers, but also their structural integrity. This innovative addition minimizes vibrations and ensures optimal performance, especially in demanding listening environments. The solid base provides the speaker with a stable platform, reducing unwanted resonances and vibrations, ensuring clean and precise sound reproduction.

Intono technology eliminates unwanted frequencies

Sonus Faber's Intono technology offers a design solution that eliminates unwanted frequencies and distortions within the cabinet. Implemented in the Sonetto VIII, Intono technology sits between the reflex port and the internal acoustic chamber, resulting in a cleaner and more accurate sound reproduction. This technology ensures that the cabinet remains quiet, providing a clearer and more immersive audio experience.

Phase-coherent crossover – precise driver synchronization

In the Sonetto G2 series, Sonus Faber has used a phase-coherent crossover that ensures precise synchronization of the drivers' phase angles. This careful adjustment strives for maximum parallelism and results in an immersive soundstage that is incredibly well-defined and realistic.

Reflex port – flexibility in placement and optimal airflow

The Sonetto VIII G2 features a newly optimized down-firing reflex port that makes the speaker much more placement-friendly. Whether placed in a corner, against a wall, or freestanding, the optimized reflex port ensures optimal airflow and resonance control, resulting in clean and precise sound reproduction in all conditions. This design allows the speaker to adapt to different environments and deliver consistently outstanding sound quality.
