Tradition Meets Technological Mastery
Born from Sonus Faber's 30-year tradition of artisanal craftsmanship and innovation, Aida epitomises the fusion of heritage and advanced engineering. Named after Verdi’s grand opera, Aida embodies the values of musicality, elegance, and innovation that define Sonus Faber.
The Pinnacle of Italian High-Fidelity
The Aida speaker embodies Sonus Faber’s philosophy of merging tradition with innovation. Its lyre-shaped cabinet, crafted from curved okoumé wood and adorned with leather, houses dual acoustic chambers that ensure pure sound reproduction across all frequencies.
Advanced technologies like the patented Tuned Mass Dampers (TMD) and Bow Spring suspension eliminate vibrations, while the DAD™ Arrow Point tweeter, cellulose pulp midrange drivers, and Nanocarbon infra woofer deliver clarity, warmth, and dynamic bass. The Stealth Ultraflex System minimises distortion and enhances bass extension, achieving a flawless listening experience. Combining aesthetic grace with cutting-edge engineering, Aida celebrates high-fidelity sound handcrafted in Italy.
A Celebration of Sonus Faber's Vision
As the pinnacle of the Reference Collection, Aida redefines high-fidelity performance, delivering unparalleled soundstage dimensionality, precision, and musicality. Its combination of tradition, innovation, and timeless beauty makes it a triumph of engineering and artistry, proudly handcrafted in Italy.
Cutting-Edge Acoustic Innovations
Aida incorporates Sonus Faber’s most advanced technologies:
DAD™ Arrow Point Tweeter (29 XTR-06): Combines the best of dome and ring transducers, offering remarkable clarity and distortion-free high frequencies.
Midrange Drivers (M18 XTR-08): Crafted with cellulose pulp and natural fibres, delivering warmth and lifelike detail with an "eddy current-free" motor for linearity.
Infra Woofer (SW32 XT-08): Features a lightweight honeycomb composite cone with Nanocarbon technology for maximum rigidity and dynamic low-frequency response.
Stealth Ultraflex System
The patented Stealth Ultraflex System minimises total harmonic distortion (THD) and allows for greater bass extension. By eliminating air turbulence in the reflex duct, this system enhances both performance and efficiency while reducing chamber size.
Revolutionary Duality of Sound
The lyre-shaped cabinet, crafted from layers of curved okoumé wood and adorned with leather accents, achieves both aesthetic grace and acoustic excellence. Its dual chambers—dedicated to mid/high frequencies and infra-low bass—preserve the purity of sound, managing vibrations through meticulously engineered systems like the patented Tuned Mass Dampers (TMD) and Bow Spring suspension. These innovations eliminate resonance and ensure precise bass reproduction, creating an immersive and distortion-free listening experience.
Crafted to Perfection
The Aida is more than a loudspeaker—it is the ultimate expression of Sonus Faber’s philosophy. Seamlessly blending Italian heritage, cutting-edge technology, and unparalleled craftsmanship, Aida stands as a symbol of innovation and artistry. This extraordinary creation redefines the boundaries of high-fidelity audio, offering a listening experience that captures the soul of music in its purest, most profound form.
