Overview

The Lumina collection by Sonus faber presents an exciting change, new to the typical Sonus faber product design portfolio but still able to embody the history and values of the brand. “Simplicity” is central to the collection’s identity that aims to reach a wide audience and to deliver a luxury music experience in all Sonus faber homes, which is facilitated through our longstanding tradition of refined materials and careful craftsmanship.

LUXURY, MINIMALIST, NATURAL
The simple and squared design of the Lumina models was chosen to emphasize the quality of materials used. This principal of minimalism directly captures the essence of the product, thoughtfully designed in conjunction with the theory that “less is more”.

The Lumina collection boasts the core values of Sonus faber and the use of its iconic materials, including leather, natural composition of drivers, and real multilayer wood available in Walnut and Wenge wood with Maple inlay matte and Piano Black glossy finishes. All items pay tribute to out historic heritage and are made in Italy.
The collection is offered at an accessible price point without compromising sound performance, empowering everyone to enjoy a true Sonus faber experience.

A complete home cinema system to enjoy your time! The Lumina Collection is obviously perfect for stereo listening. If you are looking to get more out of your system, Lumina is also an ideal protagonist for a multi-channel system.

Providing more emphasis and substance to action scenes, dialogues and soundtracks, Lumina perfectly pairs with the Gravis subwoofer models, which feature matching finishes and materials. Lumina and Gravis combine to create a 5.1 Home Theater system that offers a rich, articulated sound that provides possibilities for growth and modification tailored to your space and listening needs.

For those wishing to optimize their home space even more, Sonus faber’s Palladio collection of custom-installation speakers offer discreet paintable grills, refined with fine finishes to match any listening environment. Designing a comprehensive Sonus faber multi-channel system has never been more accessible with the Lumina, Gravis and Palladio lines offering endless possibilities that result in a natural sound experience through a clean and beautiful design.

It is the flagship three-way floor standing model in the collection. Lumina V a slender speaker, with high power handling and fast transient response, capable of producing a natural, generous, and emotional sound for an immersive listening experience. The Lumina V is rich with new electro-acoustic solutions.

Features

Lute Shape mid-hi internal chamber
The combination of a 29mm silk dome tweeter with the DAD™ (Damped Apex Dome) technology and a 5’’ midrange with a special natural fiber and a paper blend diaphragm is unchanged. The new design solution of the Lumina V is the internal mid-high volume that is designed with the iconic lute shape, main characteristic for Sonus faber speakers. This feature is able to maximize the structural rigidity and the acoustic performance of the midrange and simultaneously reduce standing waves within the acoustic load volume. The internal structure increases the structural rigidity of the mid-hi inner enclosure and contributes to the midrange frequency response becoming more natural, especially in the frequency range typical of the human voices.

Woofer
The diaphragm of the two 6,5’’ woofers developed for Lumina V is based on the sandwich construction technique: two external layers of cellulose pulp and other natural fibers are combined with a layer of hi-tech syntactic foam in between, guaranteeing a natural sound reproduction.

Multilayer Wood Front Baffle
Among the materials selected for this line what stands out is the Lumina’s multilayer wood of the front baffle and the real wood veneer, available in iconic premium finishes including walnut and wenge, both in matte finish with maple inlays, with a third option available in piano black. All other surfaces of the cabinet are hand covered in our iconic black leather.

Hybrid IFF Crossover – Paracross Topology™
The new mid-high crossover network “Hybrid IFF – Paracross Topology™” range combines Interactive Fusion Filtering, first introduced in the Maxima Amator, with the Paracross Topology™, where reactive components (capacitors and inductors/coils) are placed on the negative rail of the circuitry. The resulting benefits include a reduction in the drivers’ back EMF (Electro Motive Force), allowing them to operate in a maximally interconnected and organic way, and lowering of crossover sensitivity to radio frequencies, further improving sound definition.

Terminals
Luminas are provided with two pairs of nickel-plated terminals, allowing for an upgrade experience provided by bi-wiring and bi-amping.

Reflex Port
The reflex port gives additional versatility for the models’ range: on the two floor standers it’s placed on the base, down firing. Thanks to this solution, Lumina III and Lumina V speakers are significantly less sensitive to their placement, allowing sound excellence even when placed close to a backwall. They can be placed wherever you want always enjoying a great performance and listening experience.
