Sonus faber - Olympica Nova CII - Center Channel Speaker

Olympica Nova CII is the flagship center channel of the Olympica Nova collection, designed to reproduce dialogue, vocals, and on-screen action with extraordinary realism, precision, and scale. Delivering the timing, nuance, and emotional impact of a live performance, it anchors any premium home theater system with effortless authority.

Positioned at the center of a surround sound system, Olympica Nova CII ensures every word remains crystal clear, even during the most dynamic movie soundtracks. Its expansive soundstage and exceptional articulation create a seamless connection between front-channel speakers, delivering an immersive cinematic experience.

Handcrafted in Vicenza, Italy, Olympica Nova CII combines Sonus faber’s signature Natural Sound philosophy with luxurious materials, advanced acoustic engineering, and timeless Italian design.

DESIGN

Olympica Nova CII perfectly complements the Olympica Nova loudspeaker family both visually and sonically. The elegant asymmetrical lute-shaped cabinet minimizes internal resonances while maximizing structural rigidity and acoustic performance.

Hand-finished wood panels are integrated into a rigid die-cast aluminum structure, while premium Italian leather accents surround the drivers. Available in Walnut, Wenge, and Piano Black finishes, Olympica Nova CII delivers a refined appearance worthy of the finest listening environments.

TWEETER

At the heart of Olympica Nova CII is Sonus faber’s 28mm H28 XTR3 High Definition D.A.D.™ (Damped Apex Dome) tweeter. Featuring a Neodymium “cup design” motor system, it delivers exceptional high-frequency extension, detail retrieval, and tonal accuracy.

The D.A.D. technology reduces anti-phase behavior at the dome apex, resulting in smoother treble response, improved clarity, and greater realism across vocals and soundtrack effects.

MIDRANGE DRIVERS

Dual 150mm MW15 XTR2-08 midrange drivers utilize Sonus faber’s proprietary blend of air-dried cellulose pulp and natural fibers. Combined with Copper Clad Aluminum Winding (CCAW) voice coils and eddy-current-free motor structures, they provide exceptional transparency, articulation, and natural vocal reproduction.

The unique cone construction minimizes resonance while preserving tonal accuracy and detail throughout the critical vocal frequency range.

MADE IN ITALY WOOFERS

Dual 180mm W18XTR2-08 woofers feature Sonus faber’s exclusive sandwich-cone construction, utilizing two layers of cellulose pulp separated by a high-tech foam core.

This lightweight yet rigid design delivers powerful, controlled bass performance while maintaining perfect integration with the midrange and high-frequency drivers.

STEALTH ULTRAFLEX™ TECHNOLOGY

The Stealth Ultraflex™ para-aperiodic venting system improves airflow efficiency while reducing turbulence and distortion. This advanced design allows Olympica Nova CII to produce deep, controlled bass and exceptional dynamic capability while maintaining the speed and refinement required for accurate center-channel performance.

STRUCTURAL RIGIDITY

Eight layers of curved wood construction, reinforced by internal structural ribs, provide outstanding cabinet rigidity and resonance control. This sophisticated architecture minimizes unwanted vibration and allows the drivers to perform at their highest level of precision.

The result is enhanced detail retrieval, greater dynamic expression, and a remarkably natural presentation of voices and instruments.

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 superior stability and vibration isolation while enhancing both the performance and refined aesthetic of the Olympica Nova CI and CII center channel loudspeakers.

The stand positions the speaker at the ideal listening height and incorporates premium materials that perfectly complement the Olympica Nova collection.

Stands and speakers are sold separately.
