Product Overview

Olympica Nova CI is the smaller of two center channel loudspeakers in the Olympica Nova collection by Sonus faber.

Building on the success of the original Olympica series, the Olympica Nova adds a number of new technologies that range from new drivers and crossovers to new cabinet structure and internal volume tuning:

The cabinet of the Olympica Nova CI is constructed with eight layers of wood. The outer part of the Stealth Ultraflex system comprises of an extremely low-turbulence porting system fabricated from a solid piece of extruded aluminium and is inherited from the Sonus faber Homage collection. The cabinet supports are completely redesigned and crafted from solid aluminium billets and paired with steel spikes. Genuine leather is applied to "Voice of Sonus faber" (the tweeter and mid-woofer drivers). The cabinet is asymmetric, allowing for versatile positioning of the speakers for efficient bass response tuning; the lack of flat and parallel walls also improves enclosure performance.

The tweeter in the Olympica Nova CI features the DAD (Damped Apex Dome) technology on a 28mm silk dome diaphragm and a magnetic motor system that integrates "Neodymium Cap Design". The mid-woofer is derived from the Homage Tradition collection. The crossover network implements Paracross Topology that makes it less sensitive to radio-frequency interference. The filtering topology features new exclusive Sonus faber Clarity Cap capacitors.

Olympica Nova CI is joined by six other models in the series: three floorstanders, Olympica Nova V, Olympica Nova III, and Olympica Nova II, a bookshelf speaker, Olympica Nova I, a larger center channel speaker, Olympica Nova CII, and a wall-mount speaker, Olympica Nova W.

A stand designed for Olympica Nova CI can be purchased separately for $700.
