SONUS FABER LUMINA V

Pair of 3-way bass reflex floorstanding loudspeakers with four drivers.

Lumina V stands as the most elegant and sophisticated floorstanding speaker in the collection, combining minimalist design with Sonus Faber’s cutting-edge technologies. Its slender form houses surprising power and an extremely fast transient response, delivering a natural, rich, and immersive sound that offers an intense and satisfying listening experience. While introducing exciting innovations, the Lumina collection remains faithful to Sonus Faber’s tradition and core values, offering a wider audience the chance to immerse themselves in vibrant and authentic music.

The speaker’s structure features a front panel made of multilayer wood, available in several refined finishes, while the sides and top are hand-covered in black leather, paying tribute to the use of natural materials typical of the Italian brand. Lumina V synthesizes Sonus Faber’s technologies, design, and production principles into a minimalist masterpiece, entirely made in Italy.

The mid-high crossover utilizes the “Hybrid IFF - Paracross Topology” technology, which combines Interactive Fusion Filtering with a special arrangement of reactive components on the circuit’s negative rail. This system reduces the drivers’ rear Electro Motive Force (EMF), improving their interaction and sonic coherence, and decreases the crossover’s sensitivity to radio frequencies, thereby ensuring superior sound definition. The reflex port positioned at the bottom with a down-firing emission ensures great placement flexibility, allowing Lumina V to deliver excellent sound performance even when placed near a wall.

One of Lumina V’s most distinctive features is the internal mid-high module, which echoes Sonus Faber’s classic lute-shaped design. This particular shape not only enhances structural stability but also optimizes the midrange’s acoustic performance by reducing standing waves within the acoustic load module. The two 6.5-inch woofers developed specifically for this model feature a “sandwich” diaphragm structure, with two outer layers of cellulose pulp and natural fibers separated by a hi-tech synthetic foam core. This combination ensures a natural and precise reproduction of low frequencies, enhancing the speaker’s overall musicality. Finally, Lumina V is equipped with two pairs of nickel-plated terminals that allow bi-wiring and bi-amping, offering additional options for sound customization and control.
