Arriving later this year!
Concertino is a classic product that aims to enhance Sonus faber’s iconic line of two-way speaker systems. These bookshelf speakers blend our history of timeless Italian craftsmanship with the advancements of new technological lifeblood. In its simplicity, it aims to elevate the acoustic minimalism of our origins.
Through experimentation with the new, natural materials, Concertino embraces the Natural Sound philosophy of Sonus faber. While it retains a historic trapezoidal shape emblematic of Sonus faber’s striking visual designs, it incorporates materials such as cork and plant-based leather alternatives for a modern acoustical soundstage.
ACOUSTIC DESIGN
True to the tradition of Sonus faber’s first 15 years, the Concertino G4 is a 2-way speaker featuring: –
A 1” silk dome tweeter with D.A.D. technology
A 5” long-throw paper pulp midwoofer with an organic basket
A reflex duct positioned at the back of the cabinet, preventing front turbulence
Simplified crossover design in line with a Phase-Coherent philosophy, ensuring accurate phase alignment and a more defined, three-dimensional image
CORK CABINET
The core innovation of the Concertino G4 lies in its central chassis, which is crafted from cork – a material synonymous with collections like Suprema and Sonetto. As the first instance of cork being paired with a midwoofer, the construction of Concertino G4 marks a significant advancement in audio, while maintaining the historic trapezoidal shape as the previous Concertino models. Its unique structure allows for precise modeling, limiting internal resonances and reducing the need for additional damping material inside the cabinet.
NATURAL MATERIALS
As a nod to the speaker’s traditional aesthetics, the side walls are crafted from solid walnut and feature ribbed surfaces, enhancing structural integrity and rigidity without internal bracing. Recycled textile and a plant-based material produced by Ohoskin cover the cork structure and front baffle, allowing Concertino G4 to offer luxurious materials with sustainability in mind. By partnering with Ohoskin, Sonus faber was able to incorporate 100% ‘Made-in-Italy’ coated textile fabric made from orange and cactus byproducts, providing a high-quality, vegan, and sustainable alternative for audio lovers everywhere.
THE MAESTRO EDITION
Celebrating the 30th Anniversary from the first Concertino introduction, with a limited run of 300 pairs of Concertino ‘Maestro’ special editions, featuring a brass plaque with progressive numbering applied on the walnut side panel of the speaker.
