Overview
With Amati anniversario, 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 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.
Specification
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 implemented 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.
Cross-over points 350 Hz - 4.000 Hz.
FREQUENCY RESPONSE:
24 Hz - 30.000 Hz, tuning ports included.
SENSITIVITY:
92 dB SPL (2,83 V/1 m).
NOMINAL IMPEDANCE:
4 ohm.
POWER HANDLING:
30W - 300W, without clipping.
FINISH:
Graphite or red violin piano gloss.
DIMENSIONS:
1170 x 380 x 640 mm (HxWxD).
WEIGHT:
111,8 Kg per pair - net weight / 146,4 Kg per pair - shipping weight.
