Sonus Faber Logo Sonus Faber

Sonus Faber was founded in 1980 by a group of passionate audiophiles, who decided to dedicate themselves to the design and production of a speaker system of superior musical quality; Franco Serblin, the originator of Sonus Faber was commissioned to handcraft a set of loudspeakers for a museum to demonstrate the sound of various famous violins and violas. The loudspeaker was a massive success, not only for the museum, and its patrons, but also the musicians who had recorded the audio tracks for the museum were immediately drawn to the incredibly realistic and musical sound with these loudspeakers. After accommodating them, in 1983 the Sonus Faber line was born manufacturing beautiful sounding loudspeakers for music lovers all over the world.

Sonus Faber

The name Sonus Faber is derived from Latin and means "handcrafted sound," a perfectly apt description of these elegant loudspeakers. Sonus Faber produces hand-built speakers in Italy by master carpenters and leatherworkers that combine the merits of Old World handcrafting with high technology to produce some of the most musical loudspeakers ever. Startling dynamics and a relaxed musical performance are just two of the results of this approach.
