Sonus Faber Floorstanding Speakers Aida II Walnut (Pair)

At a first glance, there’s no difference when comparing the Aida II to the 2011 edition. Instead, the 6 years separating the two editions are evident in some important stylistic choices: above all, the introduction of the Wenge wood finish, so indiscriminately appreciated by the high end and home decor lovers, treated according to the highest tradition of Sonus faber, with maple wood inlay and our signature hand polishing process.

Don’t let the familiar face fool you, however! The new Aida has been completely overhauled utilizing the most advanced electroacoustic developments, even if the outer appearance is relatively unaltered, with all its timeless class and elegance.

THE VOICE OF SONUS FABER

New combination of tweeter and midrange creates the “Voice of Sonus faber,” the iconic configuration of driver technology capable of maintaining the effortless, warm, and involving timbre that has become Sonus faber's trademark. This is thanks to the 28 mm tweeter with silk dome and “Arrow Point” DAD (Damped Apex Dome, the dampening system to avoid counter phase vibrations of the dome) as well as the midrange with cellulose pulp cone and Neodymium motor system.

STEALTH ULTRAFLEX SYSTEM

Patented system that allows a big reduction of the THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) and a better bass extension while minimizing distortion and eliminating spurious vibration coming from the air passage inside the reflex duct. Aida Stealth Ultraflex system has a high ratio between width and height and allows reducing the dimensions of acoustic chambers.

TUNED MASS DAMPER

The TMD (Tuned Mass Damper) is a device normally used in the world's biggest skyscrapers and consists of suspended masses placed inside of the speakers. While vibrating in antiphase, the TMD erases main vibrations and allows a clearer bass reproduction and a better silence reproduction.

ZERO VIBRATION TRANSMISSION

The purpose of this technology is decoupling the loudspeaker system from the ground, avoiding spurious vibrations from spreading in the listening environment. Springs and elastomers are placed on the base; their decoupling compliance is carefully calculated by the weight of the speaker and allows a more powerful performance of the down firing infrawoofer and a perfect tuning of the entire loudspeaker system.
