SONUS FABER - IL CREMONESE

Nuovo elemento dell’ormai iconica Homage collection, Il Cremonese discende direttamente da Lilium.
Nel pieno della più alta tradizione del marchio ed rimanendo fedele al suo legame con la tradizione liutaia italiana, Il Cremonese è un omaggio ad Antonio Stradivari, artista che seppe far evolvere la sapienza tradizionale dei liutai portando avanti la lezione di Andrea Amati verso nuove forme e finiture, ancora oggi ricercatissime e amate in ogni parte del mondo.

Con questo progetto Sonus faber rende omaggio non solo al maestro Antonio Stradivari, ma in particolare al suo manufatto più celebre e prezioso, ossia il violino denominato appunto Il Cremonese, proprio nell’anno del suo 300° anniversario.

SYSTEM
3.5 way, full para-aperiodic vented box “Stealth Reflex System, and “Zero Vibration Transmission” technology , vibration transmission- decoupled from the floor, staggered low frequency floorstanding loudspeaker system. 

CABINET  
“Rhomboidal” diamond design, distributed thickness triple layer cabinet walls , damped  with spread resonance spectrum system and harmonic decay internal reflections. Sub–structural ribs are strategically placed for total rejection of spurious vibrations and standing waves control. Two double “dampshelves” (from “The” experience), i.e. CNC anodized machined avional “vibration dampers” (on the top and on the bottom of each cabinet) “stiffen” the column structures reducing consistently structural micro-vibrations coming from the cabinets’ walls and the transducers. The subwoofer enclosure has been integrated in the main enclosure through a new implementation of the Staggered low frequencies emission

TWEETER 
Sonus faber “Arrow Point” DAD (Damped Apex Dome, synthesis of the classic dome and ring transducer) H28 XTR-04. A Sonus faber designed 28 mm moving coil driver, with Sonus faber’s vibration optimized mechanical interface. The ultra dynamic linearity is given by the new Neodymium motor system. Implemented with a natural wood acoustic labyrinth rear chamber,  a mechanical anti-resonator designed for this application. 

MIDRANGE 
Sonus faber M18 XTR-04. A Sonus faber designed 180 mm neodymium magnet system ultra dynamic linearity midrange. CCAW wire is used on a composite former “eddy current free” voice coil. The dynamically linear magnetic field motor incorporates triple Kellog/Goeller rings. A special custom diaphragm is made with a real time air dried non pressed blend of traditional cellulose pulp, kapok, kenaf and other natural fibers,

WOOFERS
Sonus faber W18XTR-12. A pair of Sonus faber designed 180 mm lightweight “sandwich” cone structure (high-tech syntactic foam core and two external surface skins of cellulose pulp) woofers are integrated in an acoustically amorphous “stealth reflex” chamber. Designed to blend perfectly with the special midrange and, at the same time, to have absolute definition in their range: the sandwich structure with outer paper pulp skins has the same sonic character of the midrange cone. A powerful long stroke motor system with a 1,5” controlled “eddy current” voice coil is implemented for high speed, performance and linearity.

INFRA WOOFER 
Sonus faber W22XTR-16. A pair of Sonus faber designed 220 mm lightweight “sandwich” cone structure (high-tech syntactic foam core and two external surface skins of cellulose pulp) infra woofers are integrated in an acoustically amorphous “stealth reflex” chamber. Designed to blend perfectly with the special woofers and, at the same time, to have absolute definition in their range: in fact we used exactly the same cone sandwich structure with outer paper pulp skins. A powerful extreme linear stroke motor system with a 2” controlled “eddy current” voice coil is implemented for the presence of the lowest.

CROSS-OVER  
Non-resonant design, optimized amplitude/phase response for optimal space/time performance. “Paracross topology”. The impedance at low frequencies is controlled for a clear and friendly amplifier performance. Double staggered transfer function low frequency/room interface optimized filter. Highest quality is used in terms of the components: last generation Mundorf “Evo” Oil and Silver/Gold/Oil capacitors, Jantzen inductors. 
Cross-over: 80Hz - 250 Hz - 2500Hz.

FREQUENCY RESPONSE 
25 Hz – 35.000 Hz, Stealth reflex included. 

SENSITIVITY 
92 db SPL (2.83V/1 m). 

NOMINAL IMPEDANCE 
4 ohm. 

SUGGESTED AMPLIFIER POWER OUTPUT
100W – 800W, without clipping. 

LONG-TERM MAX INPUT VOLTAGE (IEC 268-5)
30 V rms.

DIMENSIONS (HxWxD)
