SONUS FABER DUETTO IS A NEW ACTIVE STEREO WIRELESS LOUDSPEAKER SYSTEM

The Sonus faber Duetto active wireless speaker system launched at the Dutch Audio Event last weekend.

With their distributor, Fine Sounds Benelux, the Sonus faber Duetto got its first outing at the Dutch Audio Event 2023 over the weekend.

SONUS FABER DUETTO

Italian HiFi brand Sonus faber has launched a new active wireless stereo speaker system Duetto.  The 2-way stereo active speaker system is WiFi certified with UWB (Ultra Wide Band) wireless connection between the speakers. It is AirPlay, Chromecast, Tidal, Spotify, Roon ready, and Bluetooth compatible and also has a switchable vinyl/line-level input and  HDMI and optical input. There is a dedicated app for set up and control and SENSOTM interface on top of the cabinet.

ITALIAN CABINETS

Finished in Walnut or Graphite wood veneer finishes, the Sonus faber Duetto has a lute shape wood cabinet merged with an elegant and custom designed heatsink giving cabinet stiffness and musicality while avoiding internal resonance.

CLASS AB AND D AMPLIFIERS

Housed within the heatsinks are two amplifiers, a 100W class AB amplifier that takes care of the 0.7” silk domed tweeter, and a 205W class D amplifier to drive the 5.25” paper pulp mid/bass driver.  The top of the cabinet features the leather-finished SENSOTM interface, which allows for the user to control the speaker functions such as volume, input selection, and connections.

“Our intention behind expanding into the wireless speaker category is to provide our consumers with the Sonus faber authentic sound quality they know and love combined into one versatile package. Duetto is a true Sonus faber stereo system, blending 40 years of premium speaker design, Italian style and materials with modern technology and streaming features. Today’s streaming capabilities does not compromise quality but rather offers an even higher quality for an almost infinite choice of music. Place the Duetto in your preferred space, choose your favourite source, close your eyes, and enjoy a one-of-a-kind listening experience”. Chief of Design Livio Cucuzza
