Sonus Faber Olympica Nova CII - Centre Speaker

Olympica Nova CII center channel speaker delivers vocals and instrumentation with the timing and nuance of a live performance. Olympica Nova CII adds versatility to an existing stereo system. Taking the lead role, it provides crystal-clear dialogue and ensures that every word spoken on-screen is conveyed with pristine clarity, even against the powerful background audio amplified through the surrounding equipment.

Since 1983, many moments have marked the history of Sonus faber; the launch of the Olympica Collection 6 years ago is one of them. One of the first lines presented as a complete family of products, but above all, the very first one to feature original drivers, entirely designed in Sonus faber. Olympica Nova is the second generation of the iconic family of 2013, improved in its form and substance, imbued with the timeless values that inspired us in creating the original line.

The result is a new Collection that embraces the most advanced technologies that already enhance our most prestigious creations.

The lack of flat and parallel walls improves enclosure performance and maintains the typical asymmetrical Lute shape of first generation Olympica. The asymmetrical shape of the cabinet is an original design concept that allows versatile positioning of the speakers to tune the bass response in any room. Inspired by nature, the lines follow the flow of a circular spiral motion, achieving a more organic cabinet structure. No longer just a functional element added to handle airflow, the reflex duct is now fully integrated into the cabinet, further improving the speed and transparency of sound.

Complementing the Olympica Nova line both aesthetically and sonically, Olympica Nova CII is constructed from Sonus faber’s signature natural materials - wood and leather. The front baffle, like the cabinet sides, are crafted from hand-finished natural wood and set in a solid die-cast aluminum plate. Italian leather encircles the aesthetic rings around the woofers, applied by hand in our factory in Vicenza, Italy.

Olympica Nova CII features eight layers of curved wood in its walls, enhancing cabinet rigidity for reduced interference. Internal structural ribs further reduce vibration and support the transducers' power.

Our Italian-made woofer cone utilizes an exclusive sandwich construction, combining two sheets of cellulose pulp with a hi-tech foam layer in between. This unique design ensures swift and powerful sound reproduction while maintaining coherence with the mid-high units.

Our midrange is a product of Sonus faber's in-house laboratories. Crafted from a blend of air-dried cellulose pulp and other natural fibers, the cone boasts a unique texture with varying density. This design minimizes cone resonance, resulting in a natural sound that offers enhanced transparency and finer detail.

The supports of the Olympica Nova CII have been designed with a custom aluminum extruded stand that features a cable guide to hide the power cable in the column.
