SENSO AND CRESCENDO

Omnia features two new trademarked Sonus faber technologies: SENSO and CRESCENDO. The touch-sensitive SENSO interface allows users to directly control Omnia, plus easily connect to any digital source wirelessly. Illuminated lines on the SENSO top panel indicate the speakers’ mode, input and volume.

Graphite and Walnut finishes

Sonus faber’s CRESCENDO technology is an advanced signal-processing system (DSP) that introduces a greater sense of dimensionality and immersivity, utilising the two full-range side speakers.

HDMI ARC

In addition to wireless connectivity, the Sonus faber Omnia includes a wired Ethernet connection, plus HDMI ARC to enhance TV sound with a single direct connection. Users can also connect turntables thanks to Omnia’s built-in MM phono stage, plus one other analogue home audio device, via the unit’s switchable RCA input.

Omnia benefits from three-dimensional sound to immerse listeners in a unique, natural acoustic experience, with class-leading clarity and a wide soundstage that mimics live performances, in line with the tradition of Sonus faber’s iconic, award-winning loudspeaker portfolio. Omnia benefits from a 490-watt amplifier with seven high-quality loudspeaker drivers.

LIVIO CUCUZZA

Sonus faber’s Chief Design Officer, Livio Cucuzza, told us: “For me, Omnia was a complete journey exploring Sonus faber’s vast history, but made at two-times the speed. “With every project, my job is to tell the brand’s story and with Omnia, the mission was the same, the process was just faster and went more in depth. In its new, more accessible category, Omnia will offer a taste of Sonus faber’s 40-year history to thousands of new customers, ambitious of course, but also gratifying.”
