Sonus Faber Il Cremonese

A stylish column in a unique 3.5-way configuration, the new Sonus faber is the result of a design philosophy based on evolution on the one hand and the adaptation of technologies from the Lilium and other recent projects from the Italian firm on the other. As the newest member of the Homage Collection, the Il Cremonese shares many characteristics, both in form and function, with the existing models of the Homage Collection. The name Il Cremonese is a tribute to Antonio Stradivari and one of his most famous violins, which celebrates its 300th anniversary in 2015. It is one of the most important instruments in the history of Italian violin making thanks to the innovative nature of its design and proportions, the quality and depth of its sound and the beauty of the materials and finishes used to create it. With these premises, the Il Cremonese has been made possible thanks to the use of many patents and technologies originally developed by Sonus faber for its emblematic The Sonus faber and other models that followed, among them the bass-reflex Stealth scheme, the vibration transmission suppression system Z.V.T. ("Zero Vibration Transmission"), the upper and lower metal panels to absorb the energy generated by the different loudspeakers and the Staggered Low Frequencies Emission Technology, the latter used for the first time since the aforementioned Sonus faber to optimise the performance of the Il Cremonese sub-bass radiators. All the loudspeakers of the new model have been designed by Sonus faber engineers to provide the highest possible level of sound: the tweeter is the Italian brand's "Arrow Point DAD" ("Damped Apex Dome"), the midrange speaker is a Sonus faber M18XTR-04, the woofers are the Sonus faber W18XTR-12 (a scaled-down version of those used in the Lilium model) and the subwoofer radiators are the brand new W22XTR-16. In terms of concept, the Il Cremonese is characterised by the use of an innovative five-sided enclosure called "rhomboidal diamond design", which optimises the structural strength of the wooden enclosures with a unique diamond shape that is immediately recognisable.
