OLYMPICA NOVA W

OLYMPICA NOVA W 2-way, passive radiator, wall mount loudspeaker: £3500/unit

COMPACT CLARITY

The Olympica Nova W is the most versatile addition to the Olympica Nova collection, designed to deliver exceptional sound quality in a wall-mounted form factor. This model seamlessly integrates into any music or cinema setup, offering the craftsmanship, innovation, and timeless design that define the Sonus Faber brand.

Crossover Network with Paracross Topology

The crossover network implements Paracross Topology, reducing sensitivity to radio-frequency interference and lowering the noise floor. This approach improves transient response and clarity. New, customised Clarity Cap capacitors further enhance the precision and transparency of sound reproduction.

Versatile and Easy Installation

With an included mounting bracket, the Olympica Nova W is simple to install and optimised for near-boundary placement, making it ideal for a wide range of environments. Whether in a music system or a cinematic setup, this model delivers a powerful and compelling audio experience.

Sophisticated Cabinet Design

The Olympica Nova W maintains the iconic asymmetrical lute shape, an original Sonus Faber design that enhances cabinet acoustics while allowing versatile positioning. The curved, multi-layer wood construction eliminates parallel surfaces, reducing internal resonances and optimising bass response. Inspired by nature, the cabinet follows an organic spiral flow, blending form and function into a seamless whole. The reflex duct is now fully integrated into the cabinet, improving airflow control, speed, and sound transparency.

Advanced Acoustic Engineering

  • 28mm Silk Dome Tweeter: The soft dome tweeter features Sonus Faber’s D.A.D. (Damped Apex Dome) technology, which applies local dampening to the apex of the diaphragm. This innovative approach extends high-frequency response and eliminates anti-phase behaviour, resulting in smooth, detailed, and natural treble reproduction.

  • Optimized Mid-Woofer: The mid-woofer adopts the same design principles as its larger siblings, with unique adaptations for wall-mounted use. Its coated fabric dust cap enhances air-tightness, improving air movement and efficiency without distortion. The moving coil is optimised for bass performance, delivering extended excursion and deeper, more controlled bass.

Structural Rigidity

Like the Homage Tradition and Reference collections, the Olympica Nova W features a cabinet crafted from eight layers of bent wood, delivering exceptional rigidity and structural stability. This design minimises vibrations and enhances overall acoustic performance, reproducing crystal-clear sound.
