Sonus faber Sonetto III G2 Floorstanding Speakers | The Grid

Small Footprint. Remarkable Presence.

The Sonus faber Sonetto III G2 proves that a floorstanding loudspeaker doesn't need to dominate a room to make a lasting impression.

The most compact tower in the second-generation Sonetto Collection, Sonetto III G2 combines elegant Italian craftsmanship with a sophisticated 2.5-way acoustic design. Its slender, lute-shaped cabinet houses a Damped Apex Dome tweeter, a dedicated 6.5-inch midwoofer, and a separate 6.5-inch woofer.

A redesigned concrete base provides additional stability, while carefully engineered bass-reflex loading helps deliver substantial low-frequency performance from the speaker's compact proportions.

With a frequency response extending from 38 Hz to 40 kHz, Sonetto III G2 brings the richness and scale of a floorstanding loudspeaker into listening spaces where size and aesthetics matter just as much as sound quality.

The Art of Doing More with Less

Sonetto III G2 is designed for listeners who want the presence of a floorstanding speaker without the footprint of a much larger model.

Its 2.5-way configuration combines the coherence of a relatively simple driver arrangement with the added low-frequency capability of a dedicated woofer.

The midwoofer operates in a rear-vented enclosure, while the woofer uses a separate downward-vented chamber. This arrangement allows Sonus faber to optimize the loading of each driver within the same elegant cabinet.

The result is a loudspeaker engineered to deliver a convincing musical presentation from a slender tower.

 

Damped Apex Dome Tweeter

Sonetto III G2 features a 1.1-inch extended-frequency tweeter incorporating Sonus faber's Damped Apex Dome (D.A.D.) Arrow Point technology.

Its silk dome and copper shorting ring are engineered for refined high-frequency reproduction, preserving the subtle details that give recordings their sense of space and realism.

From delicate cymbal work to the ambience surrounding a live performance, the tweeter is designed to reproduce high frequencies with clarity and natural tonal character.

 

Custom-Engineered 6.5-Inch Midwoofer

The 6.5-inch midwoofer is custom-engineered for the Sonetto G2 Collection.

Its distinctive flower-patterned surround reflects Sonus faber's nature-inspired design philosophy while contributing to the driver's acoustic performance.

An aluminum demodulation ring is incorporated into the motor system, and the driver's paper-pulp sandwich cone is designed to balance rigidity, damping, and low moving mass.

The midwoofer reproduces the frequencies responsible for much of the character of vocals, piano, guitars, and other instruments, while also contributing to the speaker's bass performance.

 

Dedicated 6.5-Inch Woofer

A second 6.5-inch driver provides additional low-frequency output.

Equipped with an aluminum demodulation ring, the woofer operates in its own downward-vented enclosure.

This configuration helps Sonetto III G2 produce substantial bass from a relatively compact cabinet, making it a versatile choice for both dedicated stereo systems and living-room installations.

 

A Concrete Foundation for Better Stability

The second-generation Sonetto Collection introduces a redesigned concrete base.

Its additional mass provides a stable foundation for the loudspeaker while helping manage unwanted vibrations.

The base also contributes to the speaker's clean, architectural appearance, complementing the natural wood, leather, and curved cabinet surfaces.

It is a practical example of Sonus faber's approach to design: structural elements should serve both the appearance and performance of the finished loudspeaker.

 

Phase Coherent Crossover

Sonetto III G2 incorporates Sonus faber's Phase Coherent crossover philosophy.

Operating at 2,700 Hz, the network integrates the tweeter and midwoofer while supporting the carefully designed relationship between the speaker's drivers.

The crossover is engineered to maintain consistent phase behavior, helping create a cohesive soundstage and natural musical presentation.

 

Handcrafted Italian Design

Sonetto III G2 is handcrafted in Vicenza, Italy.

Its signature lute-shaped cabinet has been redesigned to improve control over internal resonances while preserving the elegant silhouette associated with Sonus faber.

Natural wood, leather, and concrete create a distinctive combination of traditional and contemporary materials.

A decorative rear binding-post cover bearing the Sonus faber logo provides a refined finishing touch while protecting the speaker's connection area.

From the sculptural enclosure to the smallest details, Sonetto III G2 is designed to be a beautiful addition to your home.

 

Available Finishes

Sonetto III G2 is available in three standard finishes, each complemented by leather detailing and a concrete base.
