Stylish column with an exclusive 3.5-way configuration, the new Sonus Faber is the result of a design philosophy based on evolution on the one hand and the adaptation of technologies from the Lilium and other recent projects of the Italian firm on the other. . As the newest member of the Homage Collection, the Il Cremonese shares many characteristics, both in form and function, with existing models of the same. For its part, the name Il Cremonese is a tribute to Antonio Stradivari and one of his most famous violins, which this year 2015 celebrates its 300th anniversary. It is one of the most important instruments in the history of Italian violin manufacturing thanks to the innovative nature of its design and proportions, the quality and depth of its sound and the beauty of the materials and finishes used to create it. With these premises, the Il Cremonese has been possible thanks to the competition of many patents and technologies originally developed by Sonus faber for its emblematic The Sonus faber and other models that came after, highlighting among them the bass-reflex Stealth scheme, the ZVT (“Zero Vibration Transmission”) vibration transmission suppression, the upper and lower metal panels to absorb the energy generated by the different speakers and the staggered low frequency emission system (“Staggered Low Frequencies Emission Technology”), the latter used for the first time since the aforementioned The Sonus faber to optimize the performance of the subwoofer radiators of the Il Cremonese. All the speakers of the new model have been designed by Sonus Faber engineers to provide sound of the highest possible level: thus, the tweeter is the “Arrow Point DAD” (“Damped Apex Dome”) of the Italian brand, the The midrange speaker is a Sonus Faber M18XTR-04, the woofers are the Sonus Faber W18XTR-12 (a reduced version of those used in the Lilium model) and the subwoofer radiators are the brand new W22XTR-16. At a concept level, Il Cremonese is characterized by using an innovative five-sided enclosure called the “rhomboid diamond design” that optimizes the structural strength of the wooden enclosures with a unique diamond shape that is immediately recognizable.
