SONUS FABER LUMINA V AND LUMINA II LOUDSPEAKERS LAUNCHED

Two new Sonus faber Lumina models, the Lumina V and Lumina II, are added to the now five strong collection.

Italian loudspeaker manufacturer Sonus faber has expanded its Lumina range to include a new flagship floorstander, the Lumina V, and a compact standmount speaker, the Lumina II.

MADE IN ITALY

Both models feature the same handmade-in-Italy craftsmanship, artisan design and sound quality as Sonus faber’s more exclusive ranges, while offering the affordability Lumina has become known for.

Lumina are available in three finishes

HIFI AND HOME CINEMA

The new Sonus faber  Lumina II and Sonus faberLumina V A/V speakers are designed to offer the ‘voice of Sonus faber’ in both stereo and multichannel systems, and are positioned to offer greater power handling for larger spaces. The two new models expand the September 2020-launched Lumina collection to five models: two standmounts, two floorstanders and a centre.

Benefitting from a multilayer wood front baffle available in three finishes, walnut and wengè with maple inlays, plus piano black, the cabinets are finished in black leather, echoing Sonus faber’s upmarket collections.

SONUS FABER LUMINA II

The Sonus faber Lumina II is the second standmount speaker in the collection and joins the smaller, Lumina I. The Lumina II enjoys a larger cabinet volume with a 150 mm mid-range driver. A compact and versatile design, the Lumina II can be placed within a bookcase or shelving unit, in addition to stand use as a stereo pair, or as rear channels in a home cinema system.

SONUS FABER LUMINA V

The Lumina V is the second floorstanding Lumina model, joining the existing Lumina III. As the new flagship, it benefits from a number of key design elements including a lute-shaped mid/high internal chamber: a feature created by Sonus faber and a main characteristic for the brand since its inception in the 1990s. The chamber maximises structural rigidity and the acoustic performance of the midrange, while simultaneously reducing standing waves.

The Lumina V also features Sonus faber’s hybrid IFF crossover. The mid/high crossover network ‘Hybrid IFF – Paracross Solution’ combines Interactive Fusion Filtering, first introduced in the Maxima Amator, with the Paracross Topology™, where reactive components (capacitors and inductors/coils) are placed on the negative rail of the circuitry. The resulting benefits include a reduction in the drivers’ back EMF (Electro Motive Force), allowing them to operate in a maximally interconnected and organic way, while lowering the crossover’s sensitivity to radio frequencies, further improving sound quality.

SUBWOOFER PAIRING

For a range of A/V applications, including music, gaming and home cinema, the Lumina collection pairs with Sonus faber’s Gravis subwoofer models I, II and III, which feature matching finishes and materials.

SONUS FABER LUMINA COLLECTION

The Lumina range now comprises the Lumina I and Lumina II standmounts, the Lumina III and Lumina V floorstanders, plus the Lumina Center I centre channel speaker.
