Sonus faber - Olympica Nova CI - Center Channel Speaker

Olympica Nova CI is designed to serve as the vocal centerpiece of a high-performance home theater system, delivering crystal-clear dialogue, exceptional detail, and the natural tonal balance that defines the Sonus faber listening experience.

Positioned below the screen, Olympica Nova CI anchors movie soundtracks, television programming, and concert performances with remarkable clarity and precision. Every word, subtle detail, and dynamic effect is reproduced with realism and effortless intelligibility.

Crafted in Vicenza, Italy, Olympica Nova CI combines advanced acoustic engineering with Sonus faber’s signature blend of natural materials, luxurious finishes, and timeless Italian design.

DESIGN

Olympica Nova CI embodies the same design philosophy found throughout the Olympica Nova collection. Its elegant lute-shaped enclosure minimizes internal resonances while providing exceptional structural integrity and acoustic performance.

The cabinet features hand-finished wood panels mounted within a rigid die-cast aluminum structure, while hand-applied Italian leather surrounds the driver assemblies. Available in Walnut, Wenge, and Piano Black finishes, Olympica Nova CI blends seamlessly into sophisticated home theater environments.

TWEETER

The 28mm H28 XTR3 High Definition D.A.D.™ (Damped Apex Dome) tweeter utilizes a Neodymium “cup design” motor system and Sonus faber’s proprietary damping technology to deliver exceptional high-frequency performance.

By controlling anti-phase behavior at the apex of the diaphragm, the D.A.D. tweeter produces greater clarity, smoother extension, and more natural treble reproduction while preserving every nuance of the soundtrack.

MIDWOOFERS

Olympica Nova CI utilizes dual 150mm MW15 XTR2-08 midwoofers featuring Copper Clad Aluminum Winding (CCAW) voice coils and eddy-current-free motor structures. This advanced design improves bass performance, driver excursion, and transient response while maintaining excellent efficiency.

The result is articulate vocals, natural tonal balance, and exceptional clarity across the critical midrange frequencies where dialogue and instruments reside.

STEALTH ULTRAFLEX™ TECHNOLOGY

Sonus faber’s Stealth Ultraflex™ para-aperiodic venting system improves airflow through the enclosure while minimizing turbulence and distortion. This innovative design contributes to deeper, cleaner bass performance and greater overall transparency.

The technology allows Olympica Nova CI to deliver impressive low-frequency extension and dynamic capability while maintaining the speed and control required for accurate center-channel reproduction.

STRUCTURAL RIGIDITY

Olympica Nova CI features eight layers of curved wood construction reinforced by internal structural ribs. This sophisticated cabinet architecture minimizes unwanted vibration and resonance while providing a stable foundation for the drivers.

The result is enhanced detail retrieval, improved dynamic performance, and exceptional vocal intelligibility at all listening levels.

OLYMPICA NOVA CENTER CHANNEL STAND

The Olympica Nova Center Channel Stand is crafted from aluminum with stainless steel spikes and mirrors the elegant design philosophy of the Olympica Nova bookshelf stand.

Combining meticulous engineering with distinctive Italian styling, it provides exceptional stability and vibration isolation while enhancing both the performance and refined aesthetic of the Olympica Nova CI and CII center channel loudspeakers.

The stand is designed to position the speaker at the ideal listening height while incorporating a clean, sophisticated appearance that integrates seamlessly into premium home theater environments.

Stands and speakers are sold separately.
