Sonus Faber Suprema Subwoofer And Electronic Crossover

Unsurpassed Sound

The most ambitious project of Sonus faber to date, Suprema reflects the pinnacle of audio engineering. Building on a legacy of artisanal design and a relentless pursuit of perfection, Suprema honors the 40th anniversary of a brand dedicated to pushing the boundaries of audio excellence.

Extending Beyond Conventional Limits

Suprema consists of a sophisticated four column system— two main columns and two subwoofers, and an external electronic crossover. This new design was pioneered by Sonus faber’s engineering team to enhance acoustic performance to new levels of excellence.

Legacy Redesigned22

The two main columns of Suprema take the signature Sonus faber lute shape, originally introduced with Guarneri in 1993.

This iconic design represents the optimal solution for enhancing a virtual soundstage while blending seamlessly into the background. The two subwoofers, in contrast, take on Stradivari’s elliptical shape, which is most suitable for the reproduction of low frequencies.

An Innovative Combination of Drivers

Each of the two main columns of Suprema is a 4.5 ways system, featuring 2 back-firing speakers in addition to 8 front-firing speakers— 4 dual drive woofers, 1 mid-woofer, 1 Camelia midrange, 1 mid-tweeter, 1 super tweeter. The back-firing speakers improve staging and dispersion while the combination of front speakers allows for unparalleled audio reproduction at every level of frequency.

Voice of Sonus faber, Evolved

In developing Suprema, careful attention was paid to maintaining and enhancing the signature Natural Sound of Sonus faber. The configuration of the tweeters and midranges evolves into three brand new elements: one midrange with a cellulose pulp diaphragm, a new mid-tweeter with a treated silk dome, and a new super tweeter with a treated silk dome.

Natural Materials Combine For The Ultimate Sonic Experience

Each material was selected for its unique qualities.

When combined, they complement and enhance each other’s strengths. Suprema uses carbon fiber for its exceptional resistance, wood for its harmonic qualities, and solid aluminum CNC specifically machined for its static qualities.

Innovation In Full Bloom

While the use of natural materials is a hallmark of Sonus faber tradition, the electro-acoustic design has been completely reimagined. The new Camelia midrange, responsible for the most important part of the acoustic spectrum, was developed to ensure maximum resolution, while maintaining the signature Natural Sound of Sonus faber. The form of the new membrane is inspired by the camelia— a prized flower in the region of Tuscany. Its shape is not masked by suspensions and avoids the formation of resonances typical of circular shapes.

New Dual Drive Magnetic System

Control and dynamics are secured by the new dual drive magnetic system. The air flow management is held by the organic basket, a Sonus faber original design first implemented on Stradivari woofers.
