Description

With Amati anniversatio, Sonus faber celebrates the birth of Andrea Amati five hundred years ago, the great Maestro of stringed instrument making from Cremona (1505-1577). This new homage is a sound diffuser perpetuating the experience gained from the most significant Sonus faber project thus far; Stradivari homage.
The Amati’s anniversario’s lute-shaped cabinet efficaciously “harmonises” resonances while dedicating considerable attention to the most innovative aspect of the projects work in the Sonus faber tradition.
Amati anniversario has been created to breathe life into the melodious weft of the fabric of music, in all its nuances;
making the listening experience an extraordinarily moving event

Tech Specifications

SYSTEM
3 way floorstanding vented box loudspeaker

CABINET
Lute shape design, multilayer, constrained-mode damping, enclosure formed using hand selected wood layers,
quality graded and oriented for carefully optimized resonances control.
Sub-structural ribs are strategically placed for absolute rejection of spurious vibrations.

TWEETER
25 mm ultra dynamic linearity ring radiator driver, with dual toroidal wave-guide.

MIDRANGE
150 mm, ultra dynamic linearity driver. CCAW/Kapton "eddy current free" voice coil.
Dynamically linear magnetic field motor incorporating Kellog and Faraday rings. All moving elements optimally ventilated
for "resonance free" response. Designed synergistically with its vented "acoustic chamber".

WOOFERS
220 mm, lightweight Aluminium/Magnesium alloy cone driver in an acoustically amorphous vented chamber.
A dual Faraday copper ring long-throw motor system with a 1.5" "eddy current free" voice coil is  implented for an
ultra dynamic performance and linearity. Special coaxial anti-compressor are used, designed to remove cavity resonance and distortions.

CROSS-OVER
Special multi slope structure with optimized phase/amplitude response.
The impedance at low frequencies is controlled for a clear amplifier friendly performance.
A unique structured precious metal alloy conductors used, totally coherent on the entire signal path.
Crossing points 350Hz - 4000Hz.
