Sonus Faber Sonetto V G2

Sonus Faber Sonetto V G2 – Superb floorstanding speaker with impressive realism and stereo imaging

Sonetto V G2 is an uncompromising floorstanding speaker that delivers the best of Sonus Faber’s Italian craftsmanship and technological innovation. Equipped with a 1.1" D.A.D. tweeter, a 6.5" Camelia midrange, and two 6.5" woofers, Sonetto V G2 ensures a dynamic and realistic sound experience. The two woofers are configured to handle frequencies up to 280 Hz, while the midrange driver reaches up to 2500 Hz, after which the tweeter takes over and delivers crystal-clear high-frequency reproduction. 

With the unique Camelia midrange and the internal cork chamber, Sonus Faber emphasizes just how lavish a speaker Sonetto V G2 is, as it was originally developed for the Suprema model with a recommended price of DKK 6,250,000. Together with the superb reflex port featuring Intono technology and the robust concrete base, this creates a sound experience in a class of its own. That makes Sonetto V G2 an ideal speaker for discerning audiophiles seeking both aesthetics and superior sound quality at an affordable price.

The Sonetto G2 series – High-end technology meets Italian design

Sonetto V G2 creates a remarkably precise and immersive soundstage. The innovative construction of this high-fidelity speaker reproduces music with increased realism and depth, delivering 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 combines tradition with technological advances.

Advanced and elegant design with authentic sound

With its open-pore wood finish, Sonetto V G2 highlights the natural beauty of the wood and provides a tactile and visually appealing texture. This finish enhances the speakers’ organic feel and creates 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.

Sonetto V G2 also features Sonus Faber’s iconic lute shape, which maximizes structural rigidity and improves acoustic performance by reducing standing waves inside the cabinet. Standing waves in the cabinet introduce distortion and energy loss, which is one of the greatest obstacles to perfect sound reproduction.

D.A.D Silk Dome for pure and clear treble

Sonetto V G2’s silk dome D.A.D. (Damped Apex Dome) tweeter is equipped with state-of-the-art technology. With a response extending beyond 30 kHz, the tweeter is able to reproduce the finest nuances with the utmost clarity. Here, you can look forward to experiencing even the most subtle details in the music, helping to create a far more complete listening experience.

Camelia midrange with precise and natural sound

Sonetto V 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 clean and dynamic sound reproduction. The diaphragm is left uncoated to ensure total sonic purity, making the midrange sound clear and natural.

Unique cork chamber improves the midrange

Sonetto V 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 far more natural and clear midrange that is completely free of distortion.

Flower-patterned bass – powerful and precise sound

The woofers in Sonetto V G2 feature a flower-patterned surround that not only adds visual elegance but also helps reduce interference and improve sound dispersion. The diaphragms consist of a paper pulp sandwich structure, ensuring precise and dynamic bass response.

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

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 gives the speaker a stable platform, reducing unwanted resonances and vibrations and thereby 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 inside the cabinet. Implemented in Sonetto V G2, the Intono technology sits between the reflex port and the internal acoustic chamber, resulting in cleaner and more precise sound reproduction. This technology ensures that the cabinet remains quiet, delivering a clearer and more immersive sound experience.

Phase-coherent crossover – precise synchronization of drivers

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

Reflex port – flexible placement and optimal airflow

Sonetto V G2 features a newly optimized down-firing reflex port that makes the speaker far easier to position. Whether it is 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 under all conditions. This design allows the speaker to adapt to different environments and deliver consistently outstanding sound quality.
