E X T R E M A
6 dB/OCTAVE REFERENCE
For Sonus Faber, Minima, Parva, Electa and Electa Amator are not only the symbols of international success but, above all, represent a wealth of experience which has spurred us on towards the development of a new, ambitious product aimed at obtaining high dynamics with the minimum distortion possible.
Now the target has been achieved and is called E X T R E M A, our new state of the art speaker.
The solutions we have adopted are the results of lengthy research into non-conventional materials and methodologies.
The strong points of this system are special drivers (the mid-woofer undergoes over 60 hours non-stop of runnin-in to optimize the performances), an original 6 dB/ octave crossover, the first without capacitors in series with the signal, fine adjustment of the damping at low frequencies, and cabinet design which optimizes the performance of the components.
We feel that E X T R E M A represents the maximum in the evolution of the dynamic speaker today and is therefore the ideal complement for the most sophisticated electronic systems.
