Sonus faber continues Maserati partnership with UK tour

8 July 2022, Vicenza, Italy: Sonus faber is pleased to announce the continuation of its celebrated partnership with Maserati, with a series of UK Maserati dealership events featuring the all-new Grecale SUV fitted with Sonus faber’s award-winning sound system.

The ten-venue tour, which starts on 8 July at Maserati dealer Maranello Egham (Surrey) and ends 27 August at Charles Hurst, Northern Ireland, gives attendees the opportunity to experience the new Grecale and the natural sound of Sonus faber’s sound system, which has been carefully developed in collaboration with Maserati over a three-year period.

Two Sonus faber systems are available in the Maserati Grecale: the Premium (standard) and High Premium (optional) Sonus faber sound system. Both have been designed and engineered in Italy and include the company’s signature silk-dome tweeters and paper cone mid-range drive units, for a smooth frequency response and detailed sound stage; drive is via a powerful Class-D Dual DSP amplifier with an oversized power supply.

The Premium Audio System delivers 860 watts through 14 speakers and the High Premium Audio System increases performance to 1,285 watts from 21 speakers.

Sonus faber CEO Jeff Poggi said: “The Sonus faber High Premium Sound System in the all-new Maserati Grecale builds on the amazing success of our EISA award winning system in the MC20 supercar.

“Our team spent three years collaborating with Maserati design and development to customise every aspect of this sound system to authentically deliver the signature ‘natural sound’ of Sonus faber. Our shared passion and commitment to Italian excellence is evident in the attention to detail, selection of materials, and overall refinement.”

Sonus faber’s signature natural sound is delivered with the expert application of key technologies paired with the brand’s celebrated design philosophy found in its legendary loudspeakers, and is achieved by optimising the phase and amplitude alignment between the midrange and tweeter.

Sonus faber technicians adjust the final voicing of the system by ear, ensuring a consistent listening experience for the customer, aligned with the brand’s performance standards.
