The Sonus faber Sonetto VIII G2 is the flagship model in the Sonetto G2 series, embodying Sonus faber’s commitment to precision, artistry, and natural sound. Inspired by the organic elegance of nature and backed by decades of acoustic engineering, the Sonetto VIII G2 offers an immersive audio experience designed to captivate audiophiles and casual listeners alike. Its balance of power, design, and technology makes it the perfect speaker for high-end audio systems.

A Masterpiece of Sound and Design

The Sonus faber Sonetto VIII G2 continues the brand’s tradition of combining meticulous craftsmanship with advanced acoustic technologies. The 3-way system features high-end quality drivers designed to deliver exceptional clarity and dynamic range. The 1.1″ DAD™ (Damped Apex Dome) tweeter with a copper shorting ring ensures crisp high frequencies, while the 6.5″ Camelia midrange driver, housed in a unique cork chamber, produces rich, natural mid-tones. The two 8″ woofers, equipped with aluminum demodulation rings, deliver deep and controlled bass, creating a full-range listening experience that is both powerful and refined.

The Sonus faber Sonetto VIIIG2’s advanced Phase Coherent Crossover design ensures that each driver operates in perfect harmony, delivering a seamless soundstage with precise imaging. This level of phase synchronization allows listeners to enjoy music with a heightened sense of realism, as if they were in the presence of the performers themselves.

Natural Sound Philosophy

Sonus faber is known for its Natural Sound philosophy, and the Sonus faber Sonetto VIII G2 is no exception. Embracing the brand’s “Voice of Nature” design, the Sonetto VIII G2 is built with organic materials like cork, wood, and leather. The cork chamber used in the midrange driver enclosure enhances sound clarity and eliminates unwanted resonances, while the wood and leather accents lend the speaker a luxurious, natural aesthetic that blends seamlessly into any living space.

The Camelia midrange driver, inherited from Sonus faber’s flagship Suprema series, features an innovative design inspired by the shape of the Camelia flower. This unique shape eliminates resonances typically found in circular drivers, allowing for a more accurate reproduction of midrange frequencies, which are critical to the overall natural sound signature of the Sonus faber Sonetto VIII G2.
