IL CREMONESE EX3ME

IL CREMONESE EX3ME 3.5-way, floorstanding reference loudspeaker: £55000/pair

A Fusion of Innovation and Artistry

The Il Cremonese Ex3me represents the pinnacle of Sonus Faber’s acoustic innovation, blending the design of the original Il Cremonese with cutting-edge elements from the 30th Anniversary Ex3ma concept speaker. This extraordinary floor-standing speaker is designed to deliver uncompromising sonic precision, achieving absolute neutrality and transparency, making it suitable even as a professional studio monitor.

The Il Cremonese Ex3me redefines precision and elegance with its Beryllium DLC Tweeter, treated with a Diamond Like Carbon coating to eliminate beryllium’s metallic tone, delivering airy, detailed sound with exceptional clarity. Its Rhomboidal Diamond Design, featuring asymmetrical sides and Damper Shelves, reduces internal reflections and enhances structural rigidity for pristine acoustic performance.

Adorned in the iconic Red Violin finish, this speaker blends Sonus Faber’s timeless craftsmanship with cutting-edge engineering. Combining elements from the original Il Cremonese with innovations from the Ex3ma, the Ex3me delivers uncompromising transparency, making it a benchmark in high-performance loudspeakers and even suitable as a professional studio monitor.

ACOUSTIC ELEGANCE FROM TOP TO BOTTOM

Il Cremonese Ex3me speakers are designed to deliver an uncompromisingly precise and transparent sound without any interpretation of the musical message. This makes the speakers suitable as an extremely high-performance professional studio monitor. Il Cremonese Ex3me combines elements from the original project, such as midrange and woofers, with cutting-edge solutions to create Sonus Faber’s 30th anniversary concept speakers.

Timeless Materials, Modern Finish

The Il Cremonese Ex3me is adorned with Sonus Faber’s iconic natural materials, including a return to the legendary Red Violin finish. This vibrant and luxurious colour adds a timeless aesthetic that complements the speaker’s advanced engineering.

Rhomboidal Diamond Design

The cabinet retains the striking Rhomboidal Diamond Design, featuring five asymmetrical sides that eliminate parallel walls, reducing standing waves and internal reflections for pristine acoustic performance. Enhanced with damper shelves made from solid billet aluminium, the structure achieves greater rigidity, lower resonance, and minimises spurious noise.

Innovative Beryllium DLC Tweeter

The Il Cremonese Ex3me employs a Beryllium DLC tweeter, delivering exceptional transparency and microdynamics. To counter the typical "metallic flavour" of beryllium, Sonus Faber applied a Chemical Vapor Deposition treatment, coating the diaphragm with Diamond Like Carbon (DLC). This process enhances rigidity and raises the resonant frequency, ensuring ultra-fast, detailed, and airy sound reproduction free of coloration.
