About
The Sonetto VIII G2 is the flagship model of the second-generation Sonetto Collection. This collection is a testament to Italian craftsmanship and Sonus faber’s relentless pursuit of audio innovation. Drawing inspiration from Italian poetry, the Sonetto VIII G2 brings to life the core technologies of Sonus faber, offering a meticulously crafted tribute to audio excellence.
As the pinnacle of the award-winning Sonetto series, the Sonetto G2 is the first collection to integrate acoustic technologies specifically developed for the Suprema system, the elite flagship of the Sonus faber catalog. Named after the "sonet," the oldest Italian poetic structure, the Sonetto G2 is both rooted in tradition and propelled by technological advancements. The name "Sonetto" itself, derived from the Italian word for “little song,” reflects the collection’s homage to Italy’s rich cultural heritage and Sonus faber’s legacy of excellence.
It features Sonus faber’s iconic lute-shaped design, which combines aesthetic elegance with high-fidelity sound, optimising sound dispersion for a truly immersive listening experience. Staying true to the brand’s commitment to natural materials, the Sonetto G2 follows in the footsteps of the Suprema system with innovative elements like the cork internal chamber design and the Camelia midrange. By harnessing the unique acoustic properties of cork, these speakers enhance mid-high frequency resolution, delivering the Natural Sound quality that Sonus faber is renowned for.
Additionally, the familiar high-quality wood cabinets have been refined with a new concrete base, providing superior stability and improved vibration management, ensuring that every note is delivered with pristine clarity.

Benefits of Sonus faber Sonetto VIII G2 Floorstanding Speaker
An Elevation of sound
Sonetto VIII is the most powerful 3-way speaker of the Sonetto collection. The unique pairing of tweeters and midrange in Sonetto VIII is encased in a bespoke cork chamber, meticulously designed to optimize internal volume and enhance driver performance. Borrowed from the flagship Suprema speaker, the acoustic properties of cork play a pivotal role in enhancing midrange clarity and delivering a natural, organic sound output.
Distinctive Cork chamber
The special combination of tweeter and midrange drivers is housed within a distinctive cork chamber specifically tailored for internal volume, aiming to elevate the drivers' performance. Inherited from the flagship Suprema speaker, the acoustic characteristics of this material significantly contribute to the clarity and organic sound of the midrange output.
Camelia Midrange speaker
Initially developed for Suprema, the Camelia midrange speaker features the organic basket with a membrane inspired by the shape of the camelia flower. Its shape, with its five cuts, avoids the resonances found in typical circular shapes and enhances the Natural Sound signature to Sonus faber. The membrane is left unpainted to ensure total sound purity.
Concrete base
With the introduction of a new concrete base, the Sonetto G2 series not only enhances the stability of its speakers but also reinforces their structural integrity. This innovative addition provides a solid foundation that minimizes vibrations and ensures optimal performance, particularly in demanding listening environments.
Phase Coherent Crossover
The Phase Coherent Crossover design philosophy implemented in the Sonetto G2 Collection ensures precise synchronization of the drivers' phase rotations, striving for maximum parallelism. This meticulous alignment results in an immersive soundstage that is incredibly defined and palpable, allowing audiophiles to experience music with a heightened sense of realism.
