Overview
Big Musical Ambitions. Beautifully Compact.
Italian-Made 2-Way Bookshelf Loudspeaker
The Sonus faber Lumina II brings the warmth of Italian craftsmanship and the pleasure of high-fidelity listening into a compact loudspeaker designed for real living spaces.
As the larger of the two bookshelf models in the Lumina collection, it combines a 6-inch midwoofer with Sonus faber's signature 29 mm Damped Apex Dome (D.A.D.) tweeter. The result is a thoughtfully engineered two-way speaker with the scale to fill a smaller listening room while retaining the detail and natural tonal character that define the Sonus faber experience.
Its elegant cabinet pairs a multilayer wood front baffle with hand-applied black leather, while chrome rings around the drivers provide a subtle finishing touch.
Made in Italy and measuring just 12 inches tall, the Lumina II is equally at home in a dedicated stereo system, a sophisticated living room, or a premium home theater.
Beautiful enough to display. Compact enough to fit. Engineered to make you want to listen longer.
More Speaker Without Taking Over the Room
The Lumina II builds on the compact proportions of the Lumina I with a larger cabinet and a 150 mm midwoofer.
That additional cabinet volume and larger driver give it the foundation to reproduce music with greater body while preserving the versatility of a bookshelf design.
At only 7.1 inches wide and 10.3 inches deep, the Lumina II fits comfortably into a variety of interiors. It can be positioned on dedicated speaker stands, appropriate shelving, or sturdy furniture, making it particularly appealing when a floorstanding speaker isn't practical.
It's a natural choice for listeners who want a serious two-channel system without dedicating an entire room to audio equipment.
The Technology Behind the Music
29 mm Damped Apex Dome Tweeter
Sonus faber's D.A.D. tweeter uses a hand-coated soft-silk diaphragm and a damping element designed to control unwanted dome behavior.
The tweeter is viscoelastically decoupled from the front baffle to help reduce the transmission of cabinet vibrations.
Its role is to reproduce the fine details in music—from the texture of a singer's voice to the shimmer of a cymbal and the ambience of a recording.
150 mm Natural-Fiber Midwoofer
Developed for the Lumina collection, the midwoofer features a custom basket and a diaphragm made from cellulose pulp blended with natural fibers.
It handles the speaker's bass and midrange reproduction, giving instruments their body and helping vocals sound convincing.
The 1,800 Hz crossover divides the musical spectrum between the midwoofer and tweeter, with the network engineered for coordinated amplitude and phase response.
Front-Facing Bass-Reflex Port
The Lumina II uses a vented cabinet with its reflex port positioned on the front.
This arrangement makes the speaker less sensitive to nearby rear walls than a comparable rear-ported design, giving you additional flexibility when working with shelves or compact rooms.
Its specified frequency response extends to 55 Hz. For listeners seeking deeper bass, a properly integrated subwoofer can complete the system.
Driver materials, crossover and port configuration are described in Sonus faber's product documentation.
Three Finishes. Distinctly Sonus faber.
Piano Black
Wenge
Walnut
Sonus faber has always treated a loudspeaker as more than an acoustic enclosure. The Lumina II carries that philosophy into a clean, contemporary design.
Its multilayer wood front baffle is available in three finishes:
-
Piano Black: A high-gloss lacquered finish for a sleek, contemporary appearance.
-
Wenge: Rich wood veneer accented by maple inlays.
-
Walnut: Warm wood veneer with contrasting maple inlays.
The cabinet's sides and top are hand-covered in black leather, creating a distinctive combination of materials. Chrome rings frame the drivers and complete the understated design.
Whichever finish you choose, the Lumina II brings a recognizable touch of Italian craftsmanship to the listening room.
A Natural Fit for Stereo and Home Theater
The Lumina II is designed to adapt to the way you listen.
Build a dedicated two-channel system
Pair the Lumina II with a capable integrated amplifier and a quality streaming source to create a compact music system with genuine high-fidelity credentials.
Its 86 dB sensitivity and 4-ohm nominal impedance make amplifier matching worth considering. Sonus faber recommends 30–150 watts of unclipped amplifier power.
Bring music into your living room
The compact cabinet and front-facing reflex port offer useful placement flexibility for rooms where loudspeakers must coexist with furniture and everyday living.
Dedicated stands and careful positioning can help achieve the desired stereo image, while the front port makes nearby rear-wall placement more practical.
Complete a Sonus faber home theater
The Lumina II can serve as a front-channel speaker in a compact cinema or as a surround speaker in a larger system.
Pair it with compatible Lumina loudspeakers, a properly selected subwoofer, and suitable amplification for a cohesive multichannel experience.
Lumina II or Lumina II Amator?
Both models share the same cabinet dimensions, driver sizes, frequency-response specification, sensitivity, impedance, and recommended amplifier range. Their differences lie primarily in crossover engineering and finishes.
