Sonus faber domus driver#
In a clever bit of engineering, Sonus Faber has ensured smooth driver integration by physically scalloping the tweeter’s mounting plate where it abuts the mid/bass driver’s frame.
Sonus faber domus drivers#
Like all Sonus Faber speakers, the Scandinavian-sourced drivers are manufactured to Serblin’s specs and further tricked out at the factory. It’s a two-way bass-reflex design with a forward- firing port. Mystique or marketing, to gaze upon a Sonus Faber loudspeaker is to almost smell the pungent aroma of golden varnish or feel the fine grit of ebony dust on your fingertips.The Concerto Domus is the smaller of two floorstanders in the Domus Series. Its cabinet is “tuned” by the same means that the great stringed-instrument builders used to create the characteristic sound of their prized instruments- with bracing, varying wood thicknesses, and varnishes.

Along with increases in interior volume it borrows the Concert line’s decoupling of the side panels for cabinet-resonance control, while the elegant arching of its solid walnut panels are clearly inspired by the Cremona line.įitted out with Sonus’ trademark leather-effect material on the front and top panels, the Domus comes to market richly appointed technically, and ripe with the charisma that Sonus Faber and Serblin have cultivated-an Old World aesthetic replete with classical forms and shapely allusions to the art of the master violin and lute builders of Cremona.

Like any of the fine Sonus Faber speakers from founder/designer Franco Serblin, the new Domus Series builds upon its predecessors’ strengths.

As we all know, this is not a good idea, as the "lobing" interference between the drivers produces off-axis frequency response suck-outs that kill dialog intelligibility.
Sonus faber domus upgrade#
This is a substantial upgrade from the first Concert series center channel speaker, which was a two-way design that flipped a D'Appolito configuration (two woofers flanking a tweeter) on its side. Sonus managed to fit it all into a sleek, leather and wood-clad box that's only five inches tall, two feet wide, and a foot deep. Other Notes: "The new three-way Center DOMUS features a 3/4" ring radiator tweeter/3" coated paper midrange combo that's vertically stacked and flanked by dual 6" coated paper cone woofers.
