Sonus faber Serafino G2 Floorstanding Speakers | The Grid

The Art of Italian Violin Making. Reimagined for Music.

Inspired by Santo Serafino, the celebrated 18th-century Venetian violin maker, the Sonus faber Serafino G2 brings together centuries of Italian craftsmanship and contemporary acoustic engineering.

Part of the prestigious Homage Collection, this second-generation floorstanding loudspeaker builds upon its predecessor with upgraded drivers, a refined crossover network, and innovative cabinet technology.

Its elegant lute-shaped enclosure, genuine Italian leather, and meticulously lacquered wood create a loudspeaker that is as beautiful to admire as it is rewarding to hear.

With a sophisticated 3.5-way architecture, dual 180 mm woofers, and bass extension reaching 30 Hz, Serafino G2 delivers an expansive musical presentation in a relatively compact reference-level floorstanding design.

 

Italian Craftsmanship, Down to the Finest Detail

Every Serafino G2 is handcrafted at Sonus faber's factory in Vicenza, Italy.

Its iconic lute-shaped cabinet takes inspiration from traditional stringed instruments. The curved enclosure is designed to reduce internal resonances while giving the loudspeaker its distinctive sculptural appearance.

The cabinet is constructed from nine carefully matched layers of natural wood and finished with nine coats of lacquer.

Italian leather and precision aluminum detailing complete a design that celebrates the company's longstanding commitment to craftsmanship.

Serafino G2 is not simply an audio component. It is a piece of Italian design intended to become part of your home.

Advanced 3.5-Way Acoustic Engineering

At the heart of Serafino G2 is a carefully integrated driver system designed to reproduce music with clarity, scale, and natural tonal balance.

28 mm Damped Apex Dome Tweeter

The 28 mm extended-range soft-dome tweeter incorporates Sonus faber's Damped Apex Dome (D.A.D.) Arrow Point technology.

A high-power neodymium motor system supports detailed high-frequency reproduction, while the D.A.D. architecture helps control unwanted dome behavior.

The result is a tweeter engineered to preserve delicate musical information, from the shimmer of cymbals to the subtle ambience of a live performance.

150 mm Dedicated Midrange

A 150 mm midrange driver with a neodymium magnet system reproduces the frequencies responsible for much of music's emotional character.

Its redesigned phase plug incorporates a damping ring developed through computer simulation to reduce turbulence and guide sound waves more consistently.

This helps deliver smooth frequency response and clarity both on and off the listening axis.

Dual 180 mm Woofers

Two 180 mm woofers provide the foundation for Serafino G2's low-frequency performance.

An upgraded voice coil and revised spider material improve air movement and bass extension compared with the previous generation.

Combined with the Stealth Ultraflex vented enclosure, the woofers are engineered to deliver controlled bass while maintaining the speed and musical character required for demanding recordings.

Intono Technology: A More Natural Midrange

One of the most significant innovations in Serafino G2 is Sonus faber's Intono technology.

The midrange driver operates within a dedicated sealed acoustic chamber designed to reduce internal pressure within a targeted frequency range.

By managing the energy generated behind the driver, Intono helps minimize unwanted resonances that could otherwise interfere with midrange reproduction.

The technology is particularly important for vocals, piano, strings, and other instruments where tonal accuracy and clarity are essential.

The result is a more carefully controlled acoustic environment for the frequencies that define the character of a musical performance.

 

Stealth Ultraflex: Bass with Control

Serafino G2 incorporates Sonus faber's Stealth Ultraflex vented enclosure system.

The specially engineered reflex arrangement manages airflow generated by the woofers, supporting low-frequency extension while reducing unwanted port noise.

With a manufacturer-specified frequency response of 30 Hz to 35 kHz, Serafino G2 is designed to reproduce a broad musical spectrum.

From the resonance of an acoustic bass to the impact of orchestral percussion, the system combines substantial low-frequency capability with the refinement expected from the Homage Collection.

Phase Coherent Crossover: Bringing the Music Together

Serafino G2 employs Sonus faber's Phase Coherent Level 3 crossover network.

The design incorporates carefully selected components, including hand-soldered capacitors, Jantzen inductors, and custom components.

Operating at crossover points of 200 Hz, 250 Hz, and 2,400 Hz, the network integrates the loudspeaker's drivers into a cohesive acoustic system.

The crossover is engineered for high power handling, low noise, and a consistent presentation across the loudspeaker's operating range.

Three Iconic Italian Finishes

Serafino G2 is available in three luxurious wood finishes, each complemented by Italian leather and aluminum detailing.
