Sonus Faber Reference Collection – Aida
£100,000.00
3.2/3-way, floorstanding reference loudspeaker
A reference to Giuseppe Verdi’s timeless opera. Inspired by tradition, reinvented with innovative technology.
Born from the heart of Italy’s rich musical heritage and artisanal tradition, Aida maintains its typical lute shape with sinuous lines, clad in refined wood and leather. Every curve is deliberate, calculated to enhance both the aesthetic and acoustic experience.

Description
EMBRACING CUTTING-EDGE SOUND TECH
Aida manages sound complexities with advanced resonance control technology. Its precision crossover ensures smooth transitions between frequencies, preserving the dimensionality of sound and perceived size of the sound-stage.
TUNED MASS DAMPER
The TMD (Tuned Mass Damper) is a device normally used in the biggest world’s skyscrapers and consists in some suspended masses placed inside of the speakers – while vibrating in antiphase, the TMD erases main vibrations and allows a clearer bass reproduction and a better silence reproduction.
STEALTH ULTRAFLEX SYSTEM
This patented system allows a great reduction of the THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) and a better bass extension while eliminating spurious vibration coming from the air passage inside the reflex duct and allowing a reduction of dimensions of acoustic chambers.

NEODYMIUM MAGNET SYSTEM
The most radical among the changes between the two generations of Aida is the selection of all-new driver systems, all of them featuring a Neodymium motor system that enhance the “Ultra Dynamic Linearity” characteristic.
