Sonus faber Amati Generation 5
Details
The Amati Generation 5° floorstanding speaker channels the visionary brilliance of Nicolo Amati, the Italian renaissance violin maker who understood the link between artistic form and musical function. New technology delivers balanced sound with stunning detail matching the elegance of the Amati’s exterior design.
HERITAGE
Sonus faber Homage continues Italy’s centuries-long history of music innovation. Taking note from master artisans throughout the centuries – Andrea Amati, Santo Serafino, and Giuseppe Guarneri – Homage honors music heritage through an unmatched combination of sound quality and design.
TECHNOLOGY
Cutting-edge technology defines the latest generation of Homage. Each upgrade elevates the sonic power of Homage, while maintaining pristine musical detail. The result is transformative, three-dimensional sound, replicating the sensation of a live performance inside any space.
DESIGN
Stunning design is a cornerstone of the Homage series. The newest generation marries old-world artisanship with contemporary elegance. Homage’s iconic wood lute-shaped cabinets are now available in three stunning finishes: Graphite, Wengè and Red.
BEHIND HOMAGE
“The most complex, but also exciting moment for a designer is when he is called upon to improve a timeless icon,” said Chief of Design Livio Cucuzza. “How do you innovate a product whose image is immune to the passage of time and the changing fashion trends? The only way is to take a step back, reflect and deeply understand why that product was initially created. I faced this challenge straight on with my team at Sonus faber. The third generation of Homage was the first product I worked on, and the latest launch we are unveiling is the fifth – the most evolved, the most mature, but equally authentic and special. A story that repeats itself, crossing the evolutionary path in different stages of my own life, never ceasing to fascinate me and make me proud to be part of it.“ Livio Cucuzza – Chief Design Officer
WOOD
Nine layers of natural wood are combined according to the grain and finished with nine layers of beautiful lacquer. Then, multiple steps of sanding and brushing by hand ensure that every Sonus faber speaker is a joy to behold. In keeping with the ethos of Homage, Amati Generation 5 marries state-of-the-art sound technology with visual artistry in three stunning finishes: Graphite, Wende and Red Violin.
PHASE COHERENT CROSSOVER
Phase Coherent Crossover is designed to deliver immersive, three-dimensional sound throughout the room. The hand soldered hi-end custom spec capacitors and inductors create sonic clarity while handling high power levels and lowering the noise floor.
STEALTH ULTRAFLEX
Functioning as the exponential section of the duct and thanks to its design, Stealth Ultraflex improves the aerodynamic flow of the air stream emitted but the reflex ducts and is an integral part of the system. The extruded aluminium parts give further structural rigidity to the cabinet and now in a beautiful deep grey brushed aluminium finish.
D.A.D TWEETER
A standard soft dome tweeter’s apex anti-phase behaviour is responsible for early high-frequency-roll-off. The D.A.D Tweeter ensures better high-frequency reproduction by dampening the apex of the silk soft dome tweeter, avoiding anti-phase behaviour.
INTONO TECHNOLOGY
The Amati, Serafin and Vox models contain a major new innovation for the collection: InTono. Thanks to the internal cabinet’s special structure, which reduces the acoustic pressure generated within a given frequency range, these new loudspeakers always produce midrange frequencies free of any colouration.
NEW DRIVERS
The Amati Generation 5 uis equipped with a stunning new midrange driver and woofer. Powerful neodynium magnets drive voice coil with powerful control and precision in the midrange. The new woofer leverages ultralight CCAW voicw coils in a neodynium slug for quick speed and improved power and heat handling. The soider and surround were resesigned using computer simulations applying the Finite Elecment Method. This translates to long-lasting detailed sound that won’t muffle or overheat the Amati Generation 5 system.
