The final step of the long design process of Maxima Amator was, as always, the “tuning by ear”. Beside the technique, the R&D team relied on the listening experience and the emotions of Music, because Sonus faber is made of this: passion for knowledge, appreciation of beauty and commitment to Italian tradition and craftsmanship.

The two-way design has been a strong piece of brand identity for Sonus faber products. In general, hi-fi enthusiasts deem the two-way loudspeaker system as one of the purest systems achievable. For this reason, the Maxima Amator was a fun project for us, serving as the glorification of successfully merging two speakers to achieve a unique emotion with the maximum representation of the “Voice of Sonus faber” – a goal to achieve natural sound.
The solid wood cabinet is divided into
three separate chambers.The first being the acoustic volume. optimized using software node simulators and a brand new damping material made of three layers: two external layers of recycled carbon fiber and one layer of silica fiber
in between.
The secondchamber is filled with inert material that increases weight.lowers the center of gravity of the system and
increases the stability of the structure as well as minimizing its spurious resonances.
The third chamber is entirely dedicated to hosting the crossover. which is therefore shielded from any possible
vibration generated by the speakers in
the acoustic chamber.
We wonted to show to the world the soul of Maximo Amotor.
For this reason.as the solid wood rear chamber of the tweeter is visible from the ref lex port.the crossover is visible on the bock of the speaker bel1ind the terminals.
This design choice encourages the listener to peek inside the product as well as the entire Heritage collection invites to experience the purest
essence of the Sonus fober brand and sound.
The solid wood is a living material that continuously changes over time. Due to this, the Maxima Amator’s large cabinet had to be meticulously studied and fine-tuned to avoid the risk of deformation or breakage as the wood ages.
Sonus faber was able to overcome this limit thanks to modern wood drying methods, use of internal structural ribs fixed with flexible glues, and new CNC methods that allow us to maintain a tighter tolerance compared to that of the past.
After the cabinet’s studies and the drivers’ selection, we focused on defining the perfect tonal balance of the project.
The result is the IFF Crossover “Interactive Fusion Filtering” the perfect sonic performance beyond our proven classic implementations. This is the heart and the brain of Maxima Amator that allows us to
to obtain a total fusion of the two drivers for an extremely natural and fluid sound reproduction.
The three models’ cobinets are developed from the harmonious
combination of various elements. The undisputed focus of Maxima Amator is the solid walnut wood illuminated by the
brass insert and enriched by the hand-applied leather that covers the front and rear panels.
Another constant with Amator models is the natural stone that Sonus faber has traditionally used for bases’ construction to guarantee structural rigidity. This is a clear tribute to the Electa Amator stands. but also to the grandiose Guarneri Homage and GuarneriMemento. Maxima Amator leaves the classic white Carrara marble variant to boast the Port Saint Laurent quality. a
darker. warm and shaded variant of marble.
The completely new crossover network circuitry design
“foregoes the classicalfirst order series iteration,to allow the two drivers to work in a maximally interconnected and organic way.”
“The IFF Crossover “”Interact ve Fusion Filtering””.”
reimagines the main principles of the well-known Paracross Topology™and features non-academic transfer functions based on our accelerated progressive slopes.
Meticulous attention was paid to the choice of components: we chose Litz Wire Coils impregnated in wax to eliminate vibrations.capacitors with highest quality polypropylene base film combined with thick aluminum metallization andanti-inductive resistors.
The final choice is the result of long listening and
testing sessions to guide perfect balance.
The Maximo Amotor speakers ore the some as those
used for Electo Amotor Ill. Characterized by D.A.D. –
“Domped Apex Domer””technology, the 28 mm tweeter features a Neodymium magnetic motor system and is implemented with a solid spruce wood acoustic labyrinth rear chamber. The 180mm Mid-woofer hos on air-dried membrane mode of cellulose pulp and natural fibers. mounted on the Sonus fo ber originaldesign die cost aluminum basket. Thanks to the new crossover network the two interconnected frequencies give life to a homogeneous and fluid sound reproduction.”
