About the Aida
The Sonus Faber Aida (current Aida II model) is a reference floorstanding loudspeaker inspired by Giuseppe Verdi's opera, combining Italian artisanal tradition with cutting-edge audio engineering. It maintains a timeless lute-shaped design in finishes like Wenge high gloss with black leather, while incorporating major upgrades including Neodymium motor systems for ultra-dynamic linearity, Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) for vibration control, Zero Vibration Transmission technology, and the patented Stealth Ultraflex System for reduced THD and extended bass. The 'Voice of Sonus Faber' is delivered via a 28mm silk dome Arrow Point DAD tweeter (H28 XTR-04) and 180mm cellulose pulp midrange, with additional Sound Field Shaper modules featuring a 29mm tweeter (29XTR2) and dual 80mm midranges (M8XTR). This 3 and 2/3-way system ensures precise sound staging, warm timbre, and exceptional clarity across the frequency spectrum.
