SONUS FABER MAXIMA AMATOR

Maxima Amator represents the realization of an insight nurtured over many years, a project that awaited the advent of technologies capable of making it possible. It is Sonus Faber’s first two-way floorstanding speaker built with a solid wood cabinet, combining artisanal tradition with technical innovation. Although modern computer simulations played a fundamental role in development, it is the human touch—the expert ear of Sonus Faber’s technicians—that determines the sonic perfection during the final tuning phase, carefully carried out in the research and development laboratory.

The cabinet’s interior features a structure divided into three separate chambers, each designed to enhance the speaker’s acoustics and stability. The first chamber, precisely engineered through sophisticated simulations and an innovative damping material composed of three layers—two outer layers of recycled carbon fiber and a central layer of silica fiber—optimizes the acoustic volume. The second chamber is filled with inert material that increases the speaker’s weight, lowers the center of gravity, and minimizes unwanted resonances, thus improving overall stability. The third chamber, visible from the outside, houses the crossover, effectively isolating it from any vibrations generated by the drivers.

Maxima Amator utilizes the innovative IFF (Interactive Fusion Filtering) crossover, a reinterpretation of the Paracross Topology that allows the two drivers to work in complete harmony. This filter employs an accelerated progressive slope ensuring perfect fusion between drivers, delivering an extremely natural, smooth, and coherent sound. Thanks to these solutions, the speaker combines technical precision with a rich emotional listening experience, advancing Sonus Faber’s mission to blend tradition, passion, and innovation to illuminate the future of sound reproduction.
