STRADIVARI - Unique Sound, Iconic Design
 
STRADIVARI NEXT GENERATION
Introducing the latest generation of Stradivari: the iconic Sonus faber design meets unmatched sound quality, providing a listening experience like none other. Two decades after the original design, Stradivari has evolved into its second generation, surpassing the limits of innovation and engineering. Blending its signature organic materials - wood and leather - seamlessly with cutting-edge sound technology, Stradivari embodies the true essence of Sonus faber's philosophy. To coincide with Sonus faber’s 40th anniversary, the re-launch of Stradivari commemorates the brand's unwavering commitment to excellence.
 
A UNIQUE PROJECT
The Stradivari speaker by Sonus faber is a remarkable example of the brand's dedication to innovation and ingenuity. Inspired by the Italian Renaissance violin-making tradition, it combines design and engineering philosophy to create an unparalleled soundstage. In the 18th century, the violin-making tradition evolved, breaking classical rules and expanding the instrument's shape to produce a unique tone. The Stradivari speaker seamlessly blends these concepts to deliver exceptional sound quality.
 
DESIGN
The Stradivari loudspeaker is a carefully crafted reimagining of one of the most well-known speakers in high-fidelity history. With meticulous attention to detail, the Stradivari boasts an impeccable finish that takes its design to new heights. Like the most important musical instruments, the Stradivari is constructed using handmade processes, ensuring an exceptional audio experience.
 
INNOVATION
Stradivari has undergone a striking transformation from its original elliptical shape to a bold pentagonal structure, designed to accommodate the latest advancements in audio technology and ensure a one-of-a-kind listening experience. One of the most distinctive features of the Stradivari is its approach to low-frequency management. Its innovative engineering allows the listener to adjust the woofers to the size of the room, creating a bespoke sound experience.
 
FEATURES
 
Tripod DAD
The patented technology for managing the oscillations of the silk dome of the tweeter rediscovers the tripod structure with Stradivari. Greater high-frequency dispersion and control even at higher volumes.
 
Intono
Thanks to the study of the resonant cavities and the creation of a calibrated drilling of the midrange acoustic chamber, the Intono technology guarantees the most natural possible reproduction of the medium frequencies. The energy of the air spring generated by the movement of the speaker is channeled and reduced by the Intono duct, significantly reducing the size and the filter components of the crossover.
 
Phase Plug
The Phase Plug, which completes the project of this new midrange by Sonus Faber, has a dual purpose: to minimize, thanks to its Damping Ring, the turbulence triggered by the movement of the coil and to favor the dispersion by mechanically correcting the resonances in high-frequency of the paper cone. The result obtained is that of a mechanically acting acoustic filter, which translates into a simplification of the passive crossover scheme.
 
Organic Basket
Thanks to its organic shape, the new Stradivari woofer basket, entirely designed by the Sonus Faber team, is characterized by a unique geometry. Its asymmetrical structure acts on the vibration modes generated by the loudspeaker membrane, making the basket anti-resonant. A project that has been able to merge the mechanical and the aesthetic result. The organic imprint is at the origin of the inspiration of this technical element, fully aligning itself with the Natural Sound philosophy of each Sonus Faber product.
 
Phase Coherent Crossover
The IFF topology, combined with the "Phase Coherent" philosophy offers the listener an immersive listening experience, thanks to the three-dimensional perception of the musical elements within the sound stage. All the components of the passive filter have been carefully chosen, selected, and sized by the Sonus Faber R&D team: the result is sound reproduction without distortion even at very high listening levels.
 
Clepsydra Technology - Down Firing Feature
The reflex system used combines a new hourglass geometry, aimed at maximizing the low-frequency descent performance and at the same time containing the length of the duct, together with a down-firing emission which guarantees maximum freedom of positioning in the room. The non-parallel walls within the acoustic chamber of the woofers prevent the formation of standing waves above the tuned frequencies. The use of this technology is the result of careful simulations and adaptations developed by the Sonus Faber team with the sole aim of reaching the highest technical levels at the service of sound reproduction.
 
Low Frequency Adjuster
The LFA system, or Low Frequency Adjust, offers full control of the ultra-low range tuning, for an unprecedented sound experience and an optimization of the room response without compromises. A solution with an elegant design, designed to obtain the least invasive result possible, to intervene quickly and functionally, integrating perfectly within the design. The LFA technology is inspired by the compensation of the resonance peak of the driver in the cabinet to be able to obtain a damping of the low range without introducing resistive elements in series with the signal. On the board adjacent to the binding posts, a four-pin system has been created: one common and three peripherals that are connected to the central unit with a jumper, where each of the three possible composition positions allows you to set a different low-frequency response.
