Sonus Faber Olympica Nova V

Description

Overview

The Olympica Nova V is the largest floorstanding model in Sonus Faber‘s Olympica Nova range, a three-way design that pairs the brand’s core driver technologies with a clean silhouette. It is built to deliver the warm, engaging character Sonus Faber calls Natural Sound with the scale and low-end authority of a full-range floorstander.

Design & build

The Olympica Nova V is a substantial three-way loudspeaker, hand-finished in Italy in Sonus Faber’s signature style. Bass loading uses a full para-aperiodic vented design the company calls Stealth Ultraflex, tuning the output of the three woofers for a controlled, extended low end. Cabinet dimensions are 1174.5 × 424 × 529.8mm, and each speaker weighs 44kg.

Sound & performance

As a three-way floorstander the Olympica Nova V dedicates drivers to each part of the range, giving an open, uncoloured midband over a weighty, well-controlled bass. Quoted frequency response is 32Hz–35kHz with sensitivity of 90dB and a 4-ohm nominal impedance. The three-woofer array and large cabinet provide the scale that smaller models in the range cannot reach.

Key features

The driver complement comprises a 28mm H28 XTR3 DAD tweeter, a 150mm M15 XTR2-04 midrange and three 180mm woofers. Crossover points are set at 250 and 2500Hz, and recommended amplifier power is 60–400W without clipping — a wide window that accommodates a range of quality amplification for a speaker of this scale.

Technology

The Damped Apex Dome (DAD) tweeter uses localised damping at the dome’s apex to tame the anti-phase behaviour common to soft domes; in the Olympica Nova V that structure is a single piece of die-cast aluminium for added strength and precision. The midrange runs a CCAW voice coil on an eddy-current-free former for a clean, well-isolated middle band, working with the Stealth Ultraflex bass system for coherent, full-range output.
