A new and exciting project: Lilium.
The creation of Olympica collection, launched during the 2013 edition of the Munich Hi End Show, represented for Sonus faber a return to the deep roots of its traditions. In 2014 the Vicenza-based company gets back to the Bavarian International Fair with a new project for its audience. Sonus faber returns, three years later, to design a new full frequency range Hi End floorstanding speaker, built around the knowledge gained through the creation of Aida: Lilium.
SYSTEM
3.5 way, orthogonal non interactive dual enclosure, para-aperiodic vented box
“Stealth Reflex System” on the main enclosure, passive radiator tuned and “Zero
Vibration Transmission” technology on the subwoofer enclosure , modulation-free
90° and decoupled from the main one, staggered low frequency floorstanding
loudspeaker system.
CABINET
“Lyra shape” design, progressive thickness triple curvature cabinet walls damped
spread resonance spectrum system, 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 “Anima legata” system is used in
an innovative way, encompassing the structural ribs of the subwoofer enclosure.
A special steel rod, a high speed mechanical interface, concentrates the
remaining micro-vibrations conveying them to the dual multiple “Tuned Mass
Dampers”, i.e. two differently tuned special custom devices optimized to erase
micro-vibrations, by oscillating in anti-phase. The subwoofer enclosure has been
decoupled from the main enclosure through a new implementation of the Zero
Vibration Transmission technology, a suspension system, eliminating any acoustic
feedback and any vibration propagation to the listening room. The radiation of
the main enclosure and of the subwoofer one are orthogonal to avoid any
intermodulation.
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, developed according to the most natural
sound. To further inhibit any residual cone coloration we are using a
transparent viscous surface damping coating. The same way as the tweeter, the
midrange is decoupled from the main baffle board and designed synergistically
with its optimized “acoustic chamber”. A special coaxial anti-compressor is used,
designed to remove cavity resonances and distortions.
WOOFERS
Sonus faber W18XTR-16. A triple 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 SW26 XT-08. Sonus faber designed a 260 mm infra woofer, lightweight
hard paper composite sandwich cone technology for a maximum rigidity and
implemented it in an acoustically amorphous passive radiator tuned separated
enclosure. The unit features a very powerful long throw motor with a 2.5” voice
coil for ultra dynamic linearity. To perfectly match the low-end performance to
different listening rooms it is possible to adapt the SPL of the infra woofer
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: Mundorf “Supreme” Silver/Gold/Oil capacitors,
Jantzen inductors. Cross-over: 80Hz - 250 Hz - 2500Hz.
