The Sonus Faber Elipsa Red Violin is designed to bring the technological innovations and musical performance of the Homage collection, especially the Stradivari model, to a wider audience. It features an elliptical cabinet crafted from 20 hand-selected layers of solid maple wood, optimized for resonance control and vibration rejection. The speaker is a 3-way floorstanding vented box design with a 10-inch aluminum/magnesium alloy woofer, a 6-inch midrange driver with a wood fiber cone developed in collaboration with Scandinavian partners, and a 1.3-inch ring radiator tweeter with a neodymium magnet and a natural wood acoustic labyrinth rear chamber for anti-resonance. The crossover is a non-resonant second order design with crossover points at 250 Hz and 2.3 kHz, tuned for natural sound without listener fatigue. It delivers a frequency response from 35 Hz to 30 kHz, sensitivity of 91 dB SPL, nominal impedance of 4 ohms, and power handling from 50 to 300 watts without clipping. The cabinet dimensions are approximately 21.75 x 49 x 18 inches (550 x 1250 x 420 mm), and the pair weighs about 214 lbs (97 kg) net. The finish is a striking Piano Gloss Red Violin, inspired by the shape and craftsmanship of violins, providing a rich tonal character, wide soundstage, and remarkable detail and transparency. This model is highly regarded for its natural, uncolored sound and elegant design, making it suitable for audiophiles seeking both performance and aesthetic beauty.
