SONUS FABER X WALLY
BLUE METERS ON THE BLUE SEA
The collaboration between Sonus Faber and Wally Yachts, with the support of McIntosh Labs, embodies Italian craftsmanship, cutting-edge design, and unparalleled audio performance. In Italian, the letter 'X' symbolises 'per'—meaning 'for' or 'multiplication'—making Sonus Faber X Wally the perfect expression of a partnership that amplifies their shared strengths.
Sonus Faber’s expertise in natural sound reproduction and artisanal design seamlessly complements Wally Yachts’ revolutionary aesthetics and advanced technology. Each bespoke audio system is meticulously tailored to the acoustics of Wally’s luxury yachts, creating an immersive experience that harmonises with the serene yet dynamic maritime environment.
Together, these iconic brands set a new benchmark in marine audio, redefining onboard entertainment with unmatched elegance and precision.
CI-Fi On Board
Custom Installation High Fidelity (CI-Fi) blends Sonus Faber’s decades-long expertise in high-fidelity audio with the precision of custom integration. Partnering with McIntosh, Sonus Faber has brought CI-Fi to the open seas, pushing the boundaries of audio technology for marine applications.
The result is a multi-sensory experience: pristine audio paired with refined Italian design, transforming every voyage into an unparalleled journey of sight and sound.
