The Duality of Sound
The Lilium is a testament to Sonus Faber’s commitment to innovation, craftsmanship, and the pursuit of perfect sound. Designed to harmonise opposing elements—power and grace, tradition and modernity—it achieves a sublime balance that transforms the listening experience. Through meticulous engineering and timeless design, Lilium delivers a soundscape that is both dynamic and profoundly natural.
The Art of Perfect Harmony
The Lilium seamlessly blends two distinct acoustic chambers: a walnut wood front cabinet for forward sound emission and a leather-clad rear cabinet for precise infra-low frequency management, delivering sound that is both powerful and precise. Its lyre-shaped cabinet enhances structural strength while eliminating unwanted reflections, with a tempered glass top plate inspired by a lily showcasing the passive radiator system.
Equipped with a P.Z.I. infra-woofer and Deep Low Control, the Lilium ensures precise low-frequency dispersion tailored to any environment. Featuring DAD™ technology, the custom H28 XTR-04 tweeter offers distortion-free high frequencies with unmatched clarity, enhanced by a Neodymium motor and natural wood acoustic labyrinth. This harmonious blend of innovative engineering and artisanal craftsmanship delivers an unparalleled high-fidelity experience, elevating music to its purest form.
The Essence of Lilium
“Strong contrasts, seemingly total opposites, form in the music that accompanies our lives. Lilium is designed to give shape and form to these musical expressions; offering a synthesis of these opposing elements while maintaining their independent nature, and delivering them within a single form.”
– Livio Cucuzza, Chief Design Officer
The Iconic Lyre Shape
Drawing inspiration from the classical lyre, the dual curved cabinet design optimises structural strength while enhancing acoustic performance. This silhouette is not only a visual hallmark of Sonus Faber’s artistry but also a functional innovation designed to eliminate standing waves and unwanted reflections. The tempered glass top plate, shaped like a lily, offers a transparent view of the passive radiator’s movement, seamlessly blending form and function.
Precision Engineering for Pure Sound
Infra-Woofer with P.Z.I. Technology: Operating in Pressure Zone Interface conditions, the infra-woofer leverages ground effect acoustics for precise and impactful infra-low frequency dispersion. The Deep Low Control allows users to adjust output levels, ensuring perfect integration into any room or listening environment.
Rhomboidal Design and Materials: The duality of Lilium’s design is reinforced by contrasting materials—rich walnut wood in the front cabinet and soft leather in the rear. These materials, chosen for their aesthetic and acoustic properties, contribute to Lilium’s unparalleled sound purity and visual appeal.
A Symphony of Art and Science
Every element of Lilium has been carefully considered, from its intricate internal architecture to its finely tuned passive radiator system. The tempered glass top plate, inspired by the shape of a lily, reflects the natural forms that inspire Sonus Faber’s designs. This harmonious blend of artistic craftsmanship and cutting-edge engineering results in a speaker that not only sounds extraordinary but also stands as a work of art.
Crafted to Inspire
The Lilium is more than a speaker—it is a statement of Sonus Faber’s enduring legacy. Combining Italian craftsmanship, innovative technology, and timeless design, Lilium represents the pinnacle of high-fidelity audio, delivering a transcendent listening experience that elevates music to its purest form.
Precision Tweeter Design
The Lilium features the custom-designed H28 XTR-04 "Arrow Point" tweeter, incorporating DAD™ (Damped Apex Dome) technology. This advanced driver combines the benefits of dome and ring transducers, delivering distortion-free, natural sound with remarkable detail and accuracy. Enhanced by a Neodymium motor system and a natural wood acoustic labyrinth rear chamber, the tweeter ensures ultra-dynamic linearity and pristine high-frequency performance.
