VISUAL BEAUTY

Olympica Nova III showcases Sonus faber’s signature asymmetrical lute-shaped design, combining hand-finished wood veneers, precision-machined aluminum, and luxurious Italian leather into a timeless and elegant form. The front baffle and cabinet sides are crafted from natural wood and integrated into a robust die-cast aluminum structure, creating exceptional rigidity while preserving the collection’s unmistakable visual identity.

Every detail is meticulously executed by Sonus faber’s artisans in Vicenza, Italy, resulting in a loudspeaker that is equally at home as a centerpiece of fine furniture and a reference-level audio component.

SONIC BEAUTY

With its advanced three-way architecture and extended 35Hz low-frequency response, Olympica Nova III delivers a powerful yet nuanced presentation that captures the emotion and energy of live music. Its ability to reproduce both delicate details and dynamic crescendos allows listeners to experience recordings with extraordinary realism and immersion.

The result is a spacious, natural soundstage that envelops the listener while preserving precise imaging and tonal accuracy.

STRUCTURAL RIGIDITY

The cabinet utilizes eight layers of curved wood construction to maximize structural integrity while minimizing unwanted resonance. Internal structural ribs further strengthen the enclosure, reducing vibration and supporting the transducers under demanding listening conditions.

This sophisticated architecture contributes to lower coloration, improved clarity, and greater overall transparency throughout the frequency range.

DAD™ TWEETER

Olympica Nova III features Sonus faber’s acclaimed H28 XTR3 tweeter utilizing High Definition DAD™ (Damped Apex Dome) technology. This advanced design combines the natural character of a traditional soft dome with enhanced high-frequency extension and control.

The result is smooth, detailed treble reproduction with exceptional openness, realism, and freedom from listening fatigue.

MIDRANGE

Developed within Sonus faber’s own laboratories, the custom 150mm midrange driver utilizes a proprietary blend of air-dried cellulose pulp and natural fibers. Its unique variable-density cone structure minimizes resonance while preserving exceptional transparency and detail retrieval.

This carefully engineered driver reproduces vocals and instruments with remarkable realism, maintaining the warmth and musicality that define Sonus faber’s Natural Sound philosophy.

ITALIAN-MADE WOOFERS

Olympica Nova III employs dual 180mm Italian-made woofers utilizing an exclusive sandwich cone construction. Two layers of cellulose pulp surround a high-tech foam core, creating a structure that is both lightweight and exceptionally rigid.

This advanced design allows the woofers to deliver powerful, articulate bass response while maintaining perfect coherence with the midrange and high-frequency drivers.

STEALTH ULTRAFLEX™ REFLEX SYSTEM

The Stealth Ultraflex™ system incorporates a precision-machined extruded aluminum reflex port that improves airflow efficiency while minimizing turbulence and distortion. This innovative venting solution enhances bass extension and control while preserving speed and articulation.

The result is cleaner low-frequency reproduction, improved dynamic expression, and greater overall system balance.
