True in the history of Italian violin making and to its own innovative spirit, Sonus faber pays homage to the great Antonio Stradivari. As the Stradivari’s instrument, even Il Cremonese is the result of scientific researches and deep passion.
The Streadivari's Violin Inspired by the shape of Lilium, Il Cremonese is a tribute to the most famous creation of Antonio Stradivari. Its five non-parallel walls structure and the sides applied on the enclosure, requires a careful processing techniques, as for a musical instrument: from the wood bending and shaping, to the treatments of the precious Avional surfaces.
The Oretical Perfection This is what we have in mind in designing the “acoustic environment” of each single transducer. Each volume is insulated with different materials from open cell thermoplastic foam to fibrous materials, similar to the felt used in pianos. The most appropriate material or materials are selected for each specific application.
Features This atypical Sonus faber form represents an evolution towards technological and visual innovation, simultaneously maintaining the historic milestones that marked the history of violin making, as well as the history of the Sonus faber brand itself.
Features
Rhomboidal Diamond Design
Il Cremonese innovates 5 sides cabinet "Rhomboidal diamond design" which optimizes the structural solidity of the wooden cabinets with a unique diamond shape that is immediately recognizable thanks to clean lines and an elegant, minimal and sharp design.
Stealth Reflex
The patented "para-aperiodic" interpretation of the tuned load. Besides allowing for a reduction in the dimensions of the cabinet size, it provides greater extension of the low frequency response and a dramatic containment of every form of distortion; also eliminating spurious 'port' noises, typical of traditional reflex systems. Thus, also, substantially contributing to the correct sound reproduction.
Infrawoofers
SW 22 XT-08, a powerful 220mm infra-woofer. To obtain maximum rigidity, the structure of the cone is made of a lightweight "sandwich" cone structure of syntactic foam and cellulose pulp. This is also implemented in an independent tuned enclosure, acoustically 'amorphous Stealth Reflex chamber.
Silent Spikes
Il Cremonese is mechanically decoupled from the floor through a new and innovative version of the patented system Zero Vibration Transmission. The new implementation presents coaxial spikes metal / elastomer / metal that, compared to the previous version implemented on alternate surfaces, guarantees a further simplification in the construction and aesthetic lightness.
