Concertino marks the first introduction of a new eco-friendly leather, produced by the Italian start-up Ohoskin, used to cover the front baffle and cork structure. Its sustainably sourced from the derivatives of Sicilian oranges and prickly pears. This plant-based alternative to leather is one of the first non-fossil variations, ensuring that audiophiles who purchase Concertino receive materials of the highest quality in luxury audio sound reproduction while making a positive environmental impact.

The unique innovation of Concertino lies in the structure of its central chassis — crafted out of cork. The structure of cork allows it to cleanly mold into each design, limiting internal resonances and reducing damping material inside the cabinet. This natural material adapts to the different needs of each speaker, making it ideal for Concertino but also a valuable asset to a growing number of other collections, such as Suprema and Sonetto. Concertino marks the first time cork has been used while paired with a midwoofer.

In keeping with the tradition of Sonus faber’s luxury speakers and Natural Sound philosophy, the side walls of the cabinet are made of solid walnut — a material known not just for its quality but also its acoustic properties. The ribbing of the surface adds structure and rigidity to the wood cabinet in place of internal bracing.

As an optional add-on, the Concertino is complemented by a dedicated stand, designed to enrich the speaker’s overall aesthetic as well as reduce vibrations, especially in the lowest frequencies. The stand is derived from an IPE 120x64 beam, giving it a structural architectural stability with a primitive, industrial flair. The stand is enhanced with walnut veneer inserts.
