A REPRESENTATION OF OUR ROOTS
Sonetto VIII represents the organic legacy of the Suprema system into a 3-way floorstanding speaker. The iconic elements of Sonus faber converge in this exemplary piece. A design philosophy based on Natural Sound and natural materials as well as a visionary pursuit of sonic excellence are imbued in this high-end luxury speaker, hand-crafted in Italy.
An elevation of sound
Sonetto VIII is the most powerful 3-way speaker of the Sonetto collection. The unique pairing of tweeters and midrange in Sonetto VIII is encased in a bespoke cork chamber, meticulously designed to optimize internal volume and enhance driver performance. Borrowed from the flagship Suprema speaker, the acoustic properties of cork play a pivotal role in enhancing midrange clarity and delivering a natural, organic sound output.

The use of organic materials and designs inspired by nature defines the Natural Sound philosophy that embodies "The Voice of Sonus faber."
