ARENA by Sonus Faber
Sonus faber’s new ARENA loudspeakers were launched at the recent specialist custom installers show – CEDIA. Here’s the skinny:
Combining the heritage brand’s latest ‘Ci-Fi’ (Custom Install Fidelity) technology, along with with the refinement associated with Sonus faber’s artisans. The handmade Arena range combines the company’s signature natural sound with the dynamics and power required for home cinema.
Sonus faber first entered the custom installation space in 2019 with the Palladio series of integrated home solutions and the knowledge gained enabled its acoustic and engineering experts to develop Arena, a huge step forward for home cinema innovation that merges in-wall installation with home customisation, to expand flexibility and user personalisation.
Livio Cucuzza, Sonus faber’s Chief of Design and Vice President of R&D said, “The new family of speakers is the result of a relentless synergy between the company’s technology and design departments. From the very beginning, the goal was to ensure the natural sound characteristics that distinguish our products could be applied directly to the world of home theatre, and our team worked collaboratively to make that dream a reality.”
Made in Italy, the collection had its debut at CEDIA 2022 in three models, and is continuing as an ongoing, living project, adding new solutions over time.
