The Sonus Faber Olympica III is a premium floorstanding speaker designed to deliver exceptional audio performance. It features a three-way configuration with two 7-inch (180 mm) woofers made of treated cellulose fiber, a 5.9-inch (150 mm) midrange driver, and a 1.14-inch (29 mm) tweeter. The speaker has a frequency response of 35 Hz to 30 kHz and a sensitivity of 90 dB SPL (2.83V/1m). It is designed with a nominal impedance of 4 ohms, requiring an amplifier capable of handling low impedance loads. The recommended power range is between 50W and 300W RMS. The crossover frequencies are set at 250 Hz for the woofer to midrange transition and 2.5 kHz for the midrange to tweeter transition, utilizing Sonus Faber’s Paracross topology for optimal phase integrity.
