THE
PROJ
ECT
The role of a speaker
is
to reproduce an original
musical event, making it live again
and
providing
the same emotions we
feel
when listening to
an orchestra, rock band, jazz trio or powerful
sow1dtrack.
T
llis
is
why Sonus faber designs speakers as
musical instnunents,
and
we are convinced that
good sound depends, to a large extent,
on
the
acoustic chambersinlilar to a stringed instrwnent.
TECHNOLOGY
The Venere series combines Sonus faber's more
than tllirty years of speaker design with state-
of
-
the-
art
computer modelling
and
critical listening
sessions. The enclosure incorporates precision
CNC
machined pieces that are assembled,
afterwhich more relined manual skills are
employed in the final stages. F
inaUy,
but no
less
important, are the components. All of the drivers
are custom-built by the finest international
manufacturers for Sonus faber. The crossovers
for the Venere series have been designed using
components
of
the highest quality; the speaker
terminals are engineered
to
provide a secure
cotUlection to your speaker cable
and
guarantee
the highest quality signal transfer. Careful
selection
of
materials
and
strict controls during
production ensure the quality
and
durability of
the speaker.
DESIGN
The construction
of
the acoustic chamber
is
an
element
of
great importance for the ronal balance
of
a speaker. Sonus faber has always been a
leader in the development of cabinet shapes and
proportions that guarantee exceptionaI control
of
internal resonance, perfect acoustics, exceUent
driver stability
and
room-friendly placement.
It
was a natural choice
that
the Venere series
be inspired by the shape of the Lyre. Applied
to
the form
of
a speaker, it ensures the absence
of
parallel internal surfaces, controls air movement
inside the cabinet,
and
cre-ates
sotmd that is
dynamic,
cle-an,
rich in detail yet at thesame tinle,
natural.
So
the overall design
is
dictated by the sotlic
requirements: form
and
fw1ction lind the perfect
balance in the Venere series from Sonus faber.

THE
DRIVERS
Sonus faber areconvinced that in the end, the best
judge of
our
design choices
is
listening with the
htunanear. This has been one
of
the keyprinciples
that drives the design of our products, since the
very beginning
of
the company. In the research
phase every component
is
conceived
and
designed
with tllis criteria in mind.
All
the drivers used by
us are built exclusively
to
our
own specific design
by the best manufacturers. Additional special
treatments, carried
out
during the assembly
phase, provide further enhancements prior
to
final production. Extreme care
is
taken in the
design of the crossover network, in
an
effort
to
meet our standards. Choices regarding the type
of network
and
components, combined with rhe
drivers, are fw1damental to the sonic performance
of the speaker.
So
while the Venere series is
designed using specific software, inthe final phase
of their development, everything is perfected
and
reviewed by ear, because the ultimate goal
of
Sonus faber musical instruments
is
to deliver the
satisfaction and emotion
of
music listening.
