Sonus Faber Vox Center Channel (Red Violin Finish)

Sonus Faber Vox Center Channel

Vox is the center channel designed to be the perfect completion of a home theater system made up of Amati Futura, Guarneri Evolution or Aida. From the aesthetic and functional point-of-view, the new 3-way by Sonus faber is totally compatible with the rest of the precious elements of the line. Homage Vox is not only the best choice in terms of performance, but also the most “natural” solution to bring to life a voice that was still missing in the Sonus faber’s Homage home theater system lineup.

As the rest of the speakers of the collection, Homage Vox has been created following the same criteria that shaped the Amati Futura, Guarneri Evolution and Aida. The heritage of the past is also evident in its shape and in the choice of materials, completely coherent and harmonious with the previous Homage speakers of Sonus faber. Homage Vox, the missing voice of your home theater system.

Features STEALTH REFLEX

The Stealth Reflex is the Sonus faber patented solution to implement a para-aperiodic vented system. Besides enabling to reduce the dimensions of the cabinet, better low frequency and lower distortions are reached. It has also the advantage of eliminating the port noises typical of classic bass-reflex systems.

EXO-SKELETON

The Exo-Skeleton clamp is implemented by the 2 CNC machined avional nickel-plated end-covers (on the extremities of the cabinet). Their role is to control and constrain residual resonances of the enclosure walls.

LAYER DAMPER

The usual coloration and resonance problems of AlMg metal cones have been eliminated by a layer-damped structure of a triple foam closed cell high hysteresis elastomer structure.

CROSSOVER

Special attention has been given to the design of the crossover of the Homage Vox and of the entire line Homage, to address the musical criteria of Sonus faber.

Specifications

SYSTEM
3 way, low spurious vibration optimized, stealth reflex para-aperiodic loading, horizontal loudspeaker system.

CABINET
Lute shape design, multilayer, constrained-mode damping, enclosure formed using hand selected wood layers, quality graded and oriented for carefully optimized resonances control. Sub-structural ribs are strategically placed for absolute rejection of spurious vibrations. “New Era” avional (from “The” experience) exo-skeleton clamp structure inhibiting the residual resonances of the wooden structure.

TWEETER
29XTR3. A Sonus faber designed 29 mm moving coil driver. The ultra dynamic linearity is given by the new Neodymium motor system.

MIDRANGES
Sonus faber M15XTR. A totally Sonus faber designed 150 mm ultra dynamic linearity midrange. CCAW wire is used on a composite former “eddy current free” voice coil. The dynamically linear magnetic field motor incorporates triple Kellog/Goeller rings. A special custom diaphragm is made with a real time air dried non pressed blend of traditional cellulose pulp, kapok, kenaf and other natural fibers, developed according to the most natural sound. To further inhibit any residual cone coloration we are using a transparent viscous surface damping coating. Special coaxial anti-compressor are used, designed to remove cavity resonance and distortions.

WOOFERS
180 mm, lightweight elastomer foam damped Aluminium/Magnesium alloy cone driver in an acoustically amorphous “stealth reflex” chamber. A long-throw motor system with a 1,5” controlled “eddy current” voice coil is implemented for high speed, performance and linearity. Special coaxial anti-compressor are used, designed to remove cavity resonance and distortions.

CROSS-OVER
Non-resonant “progressive slope” design, optimized amplitude/phase response for optimal space/time performance. “Paracross topology” on both tweeter hi-pass and midrange band pass, cross-over points 250 Hz – 1.800 Hz. Highest quality components are used including Mundorf Evo Oil capacitors and Jantzen inductors.

FREQUENCY RESPONSE
50 Hz – 30.000 Hz, tuning port included.

SENSITIVITY
89 dB SPL (2.83 V/1m).

NOMINAL IMPEDANCE
4 ohm

SUGGESTED AMPLIFIER POWER OUTPUT
30W – 300W, without clipping.

LONG-TERM MAXIMUM INPUT VOLTAGE (IEC-268-5)
20V rms.
