Italian heritage and cutting-edge technology

The Sonetto VIII G2 embodies this tradition and combines it with the most advanced technologies from Sonus Faber. Each speaker in this series is handcrafted in Italy and reflects the 'Natural Sound' philosophy, which focuses on the use of natural materials and innovative design.

Unique design for best sound quality

The sophisticated construction of the Sonetto VIII G2 includes a special cork chamber that houses the tweeters and midrange drivers. This chamber is designed to maximize internal volume and optimize the performance of the drivers, resulting in outstanding midrange clarity and a natural, organic sound. This technology, inspired by Sonus Faber's flagship Suprema speaker, makes the Sonetto VIII G2 one of the most sonically advanced speakers in its class.

High-quality drivers and advanced technology

The Sonetto VIII G2 is equipped with first-class drivers that guarantee an unparalleled listening experience: a 1.1-inch DAD™ (Damped Apex Dome) tweeter with an extended frequency range and a copper short-circuit ring, a 6.5-inch Camelia midrange driver with a unique membrane shape inspired by the camellia flower, and two powerful 8-inch woofers with an aluminum demodulation ring. This exclusive driver combination ensures exceptional sound fidelity and detail that will delight even the most demanding listeners.

Stability and flexibility through innovative design
