This stylish three-way, three-speaker bass-reflex column is the most compact of the floor-standing speakers in a series that adopts the values that inspired its celebrated predecessor – the Olympica – while adding a spectacular number of technological developments from last minute.
Thus, the panels used in the Olympica Nova II are made with eight layers of bent and pressed wood that provide extreme rigidity to the enclosure, inside which carefully placed structural ribs are used as reinforcement to reduce vibration and handle the entire the acoustic power generated by the movement of the speakers.
The front panel is made of hand-finished natural wood to enhance the entire enclosure, and a real leather covering has also been applied around the tweeters and midrange speakers – the set known as the “Voice of Sonus Faber ' – and the woofers. . In addition, the outer part of the exclusive Stealth Ultraflex bass-reflex port, characterized by exhibiting an extremely low level of turbulence, has been manufactured from a solid block of extruded aluminum.
Regarding the electroacoustic technology used, the Olympica Nova II mounts a silk dome tweeter with DAD ("Damped Apex Dome') technology from the Italian brand, accompanied by a midrange speaker and a woofer derived from those used in the Homage Tradition collection, having introduced several significant changes. In the case of the woofer, let us highlight that it mounts a cone that benefits from a sophisticated sandwich structure in which two sheets of cellulose pulp flank a core of state-of-the-art syntactic foam.
This set of speakers is managed by a frequency divider filter based on Sonus Faber 's exclusive 'Paracross Topology', which allows the sensitivity to radio frequency interference to be substantially reduced, improving the response to transients and reducing the background noise. Let us finally point out that the Olympica Nova II rests on an elegant aluminum structure combined with steel decoupling tips.
