Electa Amator III is the achievement of a 30-year journey. The third generation of an iconic product generated by an expression of natural evolution, withholding the elements that make us unique: precious materials, high craftsmanship and natural sound.
The cabinet harmoniously combines; solid walnut wood that becomes an integral body with the Carrara marble base, through a brass insert that illuminates the lines and enhances each material. The combination is a recurring characteristic of Sonus faber creations derived from designers’ will to allow the most heterogeneous mechanical behavior possible from each product, for the benefit of the naturalness of the sound.
Hand-applied leather envelopes the rear panel and front baffle which houses the Voice of Sonus faber while dedicated black anodized aluminum columns, filled with damping material and mounted on a Carrara marble base, provide loudspeaker support. Aluminum and marble are separated by a thin brass sheet, consistent with the speaker cabinet.
ELECTRO-ACOUSTIC SOLUTIONS
Electa Amator III is a 2-way bookshelf loudspeaker system; a simple project that features main technologies and design solutions, already used for the last Sonus faber creations:
• A 28mm tweeter featuring the DAD TM – Damped Apex Dome TM technology (the tripod recalls the peculiarity of its predecessor);
• “Paracross topologyTM” crossover design with Clarify Cap ESA capacitors, for a sweeter sound that remember the voice the 90ies models;
• A 6.5 inches mid-woofer specifically developed for this special project.
RETAIL PRICE
The MSRP for the pair of loudspeakers with their stands is 10.000 € (VAT included).
AVAILABILITY ON MARKET
Electa Amator III is realized in one finish and will be available on market starting from November 2018 in Europe and December 2018 in Asia and North America.
