Every Great Movie Has a Voice. Give It the Speaker It Deserves.

Italian-Made 2-Way Center Channel Loudspeaker

Explosions get your attention. Music sets the mood. But dialogue is what pulls you into the story.

The Sonus faber Lumina CI is designed to bring voices to the forefront of your home theater experience. As the compact center channel in the Lumina collection, it combines a 29 mm Damped Apex Dome (D.A.D.) tweeter with two 120 mm midwoofers in an elegant horizontal cabinet.

Its purpose is straightforward: reproduce dialogue with clarity and natural tonal character while complementing the sound of the other loudspeakers in your system.

Measuring just 6.6 inches tall and 20.6 inches wide, the Lumina CI fits comfortably into many entertainment setups without demanding the space of a larger center speaker.

And because this is Sonus faber, performance is only part of the story. A multilayer wood front baffle, black leather, and refined Italian craftsmanship make it a beautiful addition to your home theater.

The Lumina CI puts the conversation, the performance, and the story exactly where they belong—front and center.

 

The Most Important Speaker in Your Home Theater?

In a multichannel movie soundtrack, the center channel typically handles much of the dialogue and other sounds anchored to the screen.

That makes its performance especially important.

The Lumina CI is engineered to reproduce voices with detail and presence, helping conversations remain intelligible as the soundtrack moves between quiet scenes and dramatic action.

Its two-way horizontal configuration places a tweeter between two midwoofers, creating a compact design that can be positioned beneath or above a television or projection screen.

For a cohesive front soundstage, pair it with compatible Sonus faber Lumina left and right speakers. Consistent tonal character across the front channels helps sounds transition naturally as action moves across the screen.

Whether you're watching a dialogue-driven drama, a concert film, or a blockbuster, the Lumina CI gives the center channel the attention it deserves.

 

Engineered for the Details That Matter

Driver construction, crossover and port placement are documented in Sonus faber's product information.

Compact Proportions. Thoughtful Placement.

A center speaker should complement the screen—not compete with it.

The Lumina CI measures approximately 20.6 inches wide, 6.6 inches high, and 8.4 inches deep, making it a practical choice for many small and medium-sized home theaters.

Its front-facing port provides flexibility when placing the speaker close to a rear wall, although the cabinet should still have appropriate ventilation and clearance.

For the clearest dialogue, position the speaker as close to the screen's centerline as practical, aim it toward the primary listening position, and avoid recessing it deeply into an enclosed cabinet.

Rubber pads are included for decoupling the speaker from its supporting surface.

Thoughtful placement can make a meaningful difference, particularly with a horizontal center channel serving listeners across multiple seats.

 

Italian Craftsmanship, Right at the Center

The Lumina CI carries the same material philosophy as the rest of the Lumina collection.

Its multilayer wood front baffle is complemented by hand-applied black leather on the cabinet's sides and top. Chrome rings frame the drivers, adding a subtle contemporary detail.

Three finishes allow you to coordinate the center channel with your room and the other speakers in your system:

• Piano Black: High-gloss lacquer for a sleek, contemporary appearance.

• Wenge: Dark wood veneer with contrasting maple inlays.

• Walnut: Warm wood veneer accented by maple inlays.

Manufactured in Italy, the Lumina CI brings Sonus faber's distinctive design language to the heart of your entertainment system.

 

Build a Complete Lumina Home Theater

The Lumina CI is designed to work as part of a larger surround-sound system.

Combine it with Lumina bookshelf or floorstanding speakers for the front left and right channels, add suitable surrounds, and complete the system with a subwoofer for deeper bass and cinematic effects.

Its compact cabinet makes it particularly appropriate for smaller and medium-sized rooms where a larger center speaker might be difficult to accommodate.

The Lumina CI has 87 dB sensitivity, a nominal impedance of 4 ohms, and a recommended amplifier power range of 30–100 watts. Make sure your AV receiver or external amplifier is suitable for a 4-ohm speaker, especially when driving several channels simultaneously.

Professional setup—including speaker positioning, channel levels, crossover settings, and room correction—can help the entire system work together as intended.
