A Symphony of Achievements
Leading us into our fifth decade, 2024 has been a remarkable year for Sonus faber, filled with groundbreaking launches, prestigious awards, and exciting partnership. From captivating audiences at international shows to redefining in-car audio with iconic automotive brands, Sonus faber has consistently pushed the boundaries of high-fidelity sound. As Artisans of Sound, we are proud to look back on a year that has solidified our position as a main player in the world of luxury audio.
The overture of our year began with the unveiling of our revolutionary Suprema at the Consumers Electronics Show 2024. This four-column loudspeaker system is our most ambitious project to date. Released in honor of our 40th anniversary, it redefines the pinnacle of audio performance. Its cutting-edge design and unparalleled sound quality immediately captivated attendees and solidified Sonus faber's commitment to innovation.
During Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2024 in Barcelona, we invited attendees to an immersive listening experience at Frankie’s HiFi bar - the inaugural vinyl listening bar at ISE. The Cinema Room returned, featuring our CI-Fi concept, with more power than ever and equipment including our Arena Collection Custom-Installed home theater technology.
February also added to our accolades, as the iconic Stradivari G2 floorstanding loudspeaker received the prestigious Stereo Sound "Grand Prix Golden Sound" Award, a testament to its exceptional craftsmanship and sonic excellence.
Sonus faber set the sound stage at Maserati Folgore Day, showcasing its expertise in automotive audio. This exciting collaboration highlighted Sonus faber’s ability to seamlessly integrate high-fidelity sound into luxury vehicles, providing an unparalleled driving experience. Mario Passarelli (Head of Research and Development) and Raffaele Frontera (Global Marketing Manager – Automotive & Marine) represented the brand at the Luxury Talks, emphasizing Sonus faber's commitment to master artisanry and craftsmanship.
May brought a wave of exciting announcements. The second-generation Sonetto Collection debuted at the Munich High End Show, setting new standards for high-performance sound systems with its refined design and exceptional acoustics. It’s the first of our Collections to benefit from the advancements made in the development of Suprema. True to our philosophy of Natural Sound, Sonetto G2 capitalizes on the use of natural materials. Following Suprema’s innovations, the redesign of the internal cork chamber enhances mid to high frequencies resolution. Additionally, the signature wood cabinets feature concrete bases, which improve stabilization and better manage sound vibration.
Also unveiled was a groundbreaking partnership with Lamborghini, allowing Natural Sound truly Driven by Excellence. The Lamborghini collaboration is a fusion of shared visions: both Sonus faber and Lamborghini are committed to pushing the boundaries of design and innovation. We proudly engineered the Lamborghini Revuelto high premium sound system, a testament to Sonus faber's ability to deliver an unparalleled audio experience in the realm of supercars.
Another May highlight was the Vicenza Jazz Festival in our home city in Italy, for which we were both a sponsor and active participant. Here, the deep sound waves of Suprema engulfed the 400-seat hall of the City Theater “TCVI.”
July saw the highly anticipated release of the Concertino G4, a modern reimagining of a classic bookshelf speaker from the Sonus faber Heritage Collection. This loudspeaker beautifully blends timeless design with cutting-edge technology, offering a captivating audio experience for discerning listeners. Like Sonetto, this fourth-generation speaker also utilizes cork, marking its first pairing with a midwoofer. Used to craft the chassis, cork adapts to each design, reducing internal resonance and damping material inside the cabinet. Additionally, Concertino introduces the use of a plant-based leather to our Collections. Sustainably sourced from the derivatives of Sicilian oranges and prickly pears, the leather covering the front baffle and cork structure is one of the first non-fossil variations.
Sonus faber continued its automotive journey by participating in Monterey Car Week within the Iconic House of Maserati. We proudly displayed the Amati Folgore, a limited-edition finish of our Amati G5 created exclusively for Maserati.
We also showcased our partnership with Lamborghini, unveiling the immersive sound system in the new Lamborghini Temerario, the most advanced vehicle in Lamborghini’s luxurious history. Featuring seven independent speakers and a 750-watt amplifier, this sound system marks a new chapter in this exciting partnership, showcasing how two Italian icons can redefine luxury by combining our expertise in engineering, craftsmanship, and tradition. Monterey Car Week further solidified Sonus faber's position as a leader in luxury automotive audio
Sonus faber's global presence was amplified in October with Suprema once again taking center stage at the Warsaw Audio Video Show, captivating audiophiles with its extraordinary performance.
Similarly, the iconic Aida - another floor-standing loudspeaker from the Reference Collection - mesmerized audiences at the Paris Audio Video Show, further demonstrating Sonus faber's ability to create unforgettable listening experiences worldwide.
October also brought an exciting celebration of our collaboration with Maserati. The public launch of the special limited-edition finish of Amati Folgore.
November 7th, 2024 was an exciting day for Sonus faber, as we attended Lamborghini Day in Germany for the reserved launch of Temerario in the European market.
Beyond the Temerario, we also showcased a selection of our iconic audio creations including Il Cremonese Ex3me, Amati, Stradivari and Omnia. Our products told guests of our shared commitment to passion, craftsmanship, and excellence.
From exciting project launches to prestigious awards and inspired partnerships, 2024 has been a year of exceptional achievement. Guided by our values rooted in Natural Sound, Human Touch, and Research, we continue to develop cutting-edge technology while maintaining our rich Italian traditions. As Artisans of Sound, we strive to both honor and elevate our legacy of crafting equipment that immerses listeners in the dynamic past, present, and future of audio.
