The popular Serafino model receives its first upgrade to become the Serafino G2 speakers. A floor-standing speaker featuring advanced technology and incredibly high build quality.
Overview
Now, after 30 years of steadfast improvement and dramatic innovation, the Homage family is a collection of designs which represent the very core of the Sonus faber portfolio and the most iconic representation of their ideals.
This generation of Homage keeps the classic iteration of the lute shape first introduced in the previous Homage Tradition family, inspired by the Viva Aquarama water vessel, a staple of the mid- century ‘Dolce Vita’ era of Italian pop culture. The metalwork, however, has been modified, replacing the angled edges with a smooth rounded ones. The colour of this metalwork too has changed, replacing a choice of black and brushed aluminium with a single anodized grey offering leaving the moving parts brushed.
The new Homage series introduces industry leading technology in cabinet construction.
Dramatic improvements have been made to the Serafino G2’s bracing and porting system which allow for more efficiency and greater output while maintaining strategic resonance control. The midrange and tweeter chambers are now optimised using a novel technology called Intono.
Intono Technology
Intono is a new technology implemented in the Amati and Serafino.
While a dedicated midrange driver benefits from a sealed enclosure it will naturally exhibit impedance spikes to the rise in air pressure inside of the enclosure.
Ported systems will have a tuning frequency at which the mass of moving air inside of the port collides with the driver exactly out of phase and the driver loses output.
These are both troublesome yet common issues for which the industry has developed various imperfect solutions, the most common of which is to use damping material to restrict airflow which
itself reduces efficiency.
Intono is truly a best of both worlds solution. The midrange driver is ducted into another sealed enclosure which is tuned just above the frequency of peak pressure.
When the port unloads, or goes below its tuning frequency, the pressure is equalised into the alternate chamber significantly reducing the impedance peak.
The tweeter remains unhindered due to its laser etched resonance-free rear labyrinth which in addition to its acoustic reinforcement function, serves to restrict airflow. Intono is a more efficient system with the benefits of a sealed enclosure and the benefits of a port. It allows for a simpler crossover design with fewer restrictive parts.
New Phase Plug
Discovered almost by accident through computer simulation, the new Damping Ring is another new innovation which optimises the air movement of the driver to reduce turbulence while guiding soundwaves to reinforce their propagation into a more consistent wave pattern at listening distances.
The result is a smoother frequency response with higher levels of clarity both on and off axis.
New Mid-Range
The new 150mm Midrange driver is more reactive with greater efficiency and clarity.
The new midrange drivers are an absolute marvel. Powerful Neodynium magnets drive a new voice coil which is shorter and wider to create more overall force factor with faster response and more precise control. As the motor evolves, so too does the suspension system, optimised for greater speed and control of the latest natural fibre cone.
New Woofers
The moving mass of the new 150mm woofer has been calibrated to avoid vibratory modes.
The Serafino woofer has been updated with a new voice coil and spider material optimized for greater air movement and bass extension. The entire system has been carefully mass loaded to counterbalance any resonant vibration.
New Surround with FEM Optimisation
Finite Element Method refers to solving problems in structural analysis, transport of mass or fluid flow for example, to derive a specific outcome criteria by subdividing the complex system to simpler parts and then using the simple solutions to weave a complex mesh.
The solutions in this case met the desired outcome of a form, material and thickness of both the Bimax spider and rubber surround which is capable of controlling greater excursion under higher pressure without losing its optimal pliability.
This combined with the aforementioned custom formed neodymium slug, gives the Amati unmatched bass performance in its category.
New Crossovers
Sonus faber’s research in the area of crossovers is a steadfast obsession.
Not only scouring the planet for the very best components and designing custom modifications , but also using the latest simulation software and relentless listening trials to push the boundaries in circuit design itself Paracross TopologyTM and Interactive Fusion FilteringTM are fully integrated featuring a reduction of overall component count due to Intono.
The new hybrid crossover system uses the finest components available on the market today. Hand selected through various listening tests, Jantzen inductors and custom spec Clarity Caps and Mundorf capacitors and resistors are hand soldered on custom PCBs to ensure maximum clarity, high power handling, low noise floor and long life.
Additionally, timbre and sound-stage are improved with the new Phase Coherent design.
New Phase Coherent Design
The new Homage series features a phase coherent driver array. While many systems will reverse phase and polarity simultaneously in select drivers to achieve more modest power requirements, the Homage series is time aligned and phase correct on every single driver.
This not only means better impact but considerably better 3-dimensional effect allowing listeners to suspend disbelief and truly be immersed in the latest rendition of Sonus faber’s signature natural sound.

The loudspeakers do not require any special maintenance except for periodic general cleaning. To preserve the finish of the loudspeakers, protect them with the supplied fabric covers, especially if they are not used for a prolonged period of time.
Remember to not use cleaning products, furniture waxes, cleaning liquids or alcohol that could stain or damage the wood or the speakers. Do not use rough cloths.
To clean the wooden part of the cabinet and the leather parts, use a soft cloth (such as a microfiber) just moistened at the most, taking care not to dampen the drivers. To clean and prevent the gaskets of the drivers from the hardening, you may use a silicon-based product and carefully apply it by using a soft cloth.
Wood is a natural and always alive material, therefore sensitive to external agents. Avoid positioning the loudspeakers near heat sources or near windows, especially during the summer months. Do not leave the speakers exposed to direct sunlight.
To remove the dust from the cabinet, the front panels and/or the speakers, we recommend using a soft brush paying much attention not to damage the delicate membranes of the speakers.
The choice of amplification always depends on personal tastes. Also the environment, where the loudspeakers are installed, is an important variable to consider. There is not one perfect amplifier for every single speaker.
Kindly contact our specialists at Dubai Audio with your requirements and we will be happy to assist you.
All loudspeakers have been designed and developed to guarantee an ideal balance between volumes and sound, consequently each speaker is made on the basis of a unique electroacoustic project exclusively dedicated to the specific model. The inclined bases of the speakers are an integral part of the electroacoustic design as they provide the right inclination of the speakers to ensure an optimal reproduction. For this reason, we recommend that you do not change the inclination.
Furthermore, it is not possible to upgrade the loudspeaker components as it would modify their electroacoustic design. By changing a driver, the whole crossover should be re-designed that is to say developing a new speaker.
In case you need to replace the front grills of your loudspeakers or just the elastic strings, please contact our team at the Dubai Audio store.
