Sonus Faber Venere S Bedienungsanleitung Seite 12

THE CROSSOVER AND DRIVERS
All Venere S drivers are custom built according to the specific design of Sonus faber.
The three woofers cones of Venere S are made of aluminum, providing for maximum lightness and stiffness of
the transducers to achieve a fast response to transients at low frequencies.
The midrange features a CurvTM membrane, a special thermoformed polypropylene fiber that provides the
ideal solution for an absolutely natural reproduction of the main part of the audio spectrum.
The high frequencies are reproduced by a tweeter with a soft dome membrane made of silk and manufactured
by Dr. Kurt Mueller, the world's best producer of moving parts. The tweeter is mechanically decoupled by
interposing resilient material in order to make the transducer resistant to micro-vibrations generated by the
intense activity of the other drivers. The result is an improvement of the precision and micro-dynamics that allows
achieving an extremely focussed sound stage.
The crossover network is assembled entirely in Italy with high-end components. Its semi-balanced configuration
with a non-resonant "progressive slope" design and amplitude/phase response optimisation ensures the best
time domain performance.
In addition, the woofers feature "Trilobyte Ultrafast" filtering coils and the PCB tracks are made with nano-
technologies that maximize the signal transmission speed.
DESIGN
The design is faithful to that of the six models of the Venere collection, thus ensuring seamless integration into
multi-channel systems.
Venere S is clearly inspired by the shape of lyre that ensures no parallel inner surfaces and air movement volume
control. The overall design of the cabinet is a the result of the needs of sound reproduction. Shape and function
blend together to give life to elegant - yet functional - forms to achieve perfect acoustics, all while providing
proper support to the drivers.
Sleek and modern, the styling of Venere S stands out with a bolder approach compared to the collection, ideally
completing it: the brushed aluminum around each driver gives a dash of character to the speaker's front facade.
The glass base found on the other Venere models is replaced by a brushed black aluminum plate with diamond
edge to further energize the look of Venere S.
