SONUS FABER IL CREMONESE

Available in WALNUT Finish

Il Cremonese represents a refined tribute to history and innovation, born from a perfect balance between scientific research and a deep passion for music. This product honors the famous violin crafted by Antonio Stradivari, the Italian master luthier who, in 1715, created a timeless masterpiece known as "Il Cremonese." The original instrument stands out for its rich, balanced sound and its unmistakable G tuning, combined with remarkable agility—qualities that have left an indelible mark on the world of music.

The design of Il Cremonese masterfully blends tradition and innovation: the wooden cabinet features a slender and elegant diamond-shaped rhomboid form, with non-parallel walls coated in Avional, a lightweight and durable alloy used in aerospace and aeronautical industries. This exclusive shape not only provides exceptional structural solidity but also creates a sleek and refined aesthetic. Every detail is carefully designed to optimize sound performance, starting from the internal acoustic environment of the transducers, crafted with carefully selected insulating materials—from open-cell thermoplastic foam to fibers similar to those used in pianos—to ensure impeccable performance in every listening setting.

The finishes express an extraordinary harmony of natural materials, typical of Sonus Faber’s excellence, while the innovative design is distinguished by the diamond-shaped rhomboid silhouette, recalling the purity and elegance of the Lilium model but with a more minimal and incisive style. The "Damper Shelves" modules, made from Avional alloy plates, absorb unwanted vibrations, eliminating spurious sounds and thus preserving the purity of the musical message. To ensure perfect reproduction of the lowest frequencies, Sonus Faber developed the SW 22 XT-08 infra-woofer, equipped with a powerful 220 mm driver featuring a 2.5-inch long voice coil and an ultra-dynamic magnetic motor capable of exceptional performance. The DAD 28 XTR-04 "Arrow point" tweeter combines the warmth and musicality of classic dome drivers with the advantages of a ring tweeter; its "Damped Apex Dome" prevents unwanted resonances and precisely controls the diaphragm movement at the apex of the soft dome, contributing to a crystalline and refined sound emission.
