By the name of the famous lutist of the Cremona school, an ensemble of experience and solutions – both esthetic and technical from the Sonus faber take their shape in a brand new project. Amati futura: the first step in this new and exciting direction, towards the revolution of sound.First, a restyling of a famous and worldwide appreciated collection. Second, a creation that gives a deep sense to the great R&D effort that has been invested in “the Sonus faber”. futura Amati is not to be considered an “isolated episode” but a capital of know-how and culture serving the best possible reproduction of music at every level. The “Exo-Squeleton” clamp is implemented by the 2 CNC machined avional nickel-plated end-covers on the top and on the bottom of the cabinet, together with two dual avional rear “wings”, that absorbe, convey and delete spurious vibrations from the cabinet. For a musical reproduction in the deepest silence also innovations from the Sonus faber have been used: the L.V.T. Syste, (Low Vibration Transmission), the Stealth Reflex System and the T.M.D. (Tuned Mass Damper).



SYSTEM
3.5 way, low spurious vibration optimized suspension, stealth reflex para-aperiodic loading, staggered low frequency floorstanding loudspeaker system.

CABINET
Lute shape design, multilayer, constrainedmode damping, enclosure formed using hand selected wood layers, quality graded and oriented for carefully optimized resonances control. Sub-structural ribs are strategically placed for absolute rejection of spurious vibrations. New Era avional (from the experience) exo-squeleton clamp structure with the Tuned Mass Damper inhibiting the residual resonances of the wooden structure.

TWEETER
29 mm ultra dynamic linearity classic Ragnar Lian moving coil driver, Sonus faber vibration optimized mechanical interface.

MIDRANGE
179 mm, ultra dynamic linearity driver. CCAW/Kapton eddy current free voice coil. Dynamically linear magnetic field motor incorporating triple Kellog/Goeller rings. Real time air dried and non pressed cellulose fiber cone. Designed synergistically with its optimized acoustic chamber.

WOOFERS
220 mm, lightweight elastomer foam damped Aluminium/Magnesium alloy cone driver in an acoustically amorphous stealth reflex chamber. A long-throw motor system with a 1,5” controlled eddy current voice coil is implemented for high speed, performance and linearity. Special coaxial anti-compressor are used, designed to remove cavity resonance and distortions.

CROSS-OVER
Non-resonant progressive slope design, optimized amplitude/phase response for optimal space/time performance. HC (Hot Cold) topology on the tweeter hi-pass. The response at low frequencies is controlled for a clear amplifier friendly performance. Dual staggered transfer function low frequency/room interface optimized filtre.Highest quality is used in terms of the components: Mundorf Supreme capacitors, Jantzen inductors. Cross-over: 80Hz – 220 Hz-3200Hz.

FREQUENCY RESPONSE
25 Hz – 30.000 Hz, Stealth reflex included.

SENSITIVITY
90 db SPL (2.83V/1 m).

NOMINAL IMPEDENCE
4 ohm.

POWER HANDLING
30W – 300W, without clipping.

DIMENSIONS
1160 x 405 x 635 mm (HxWxD).

WEIGHT
111 Kg per pair – net weight
