“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,” said Sonus faber President Jeff Poggi. “Our team spent three years collaborating with Maserati design and development to customize 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, achieved by optimizing the phase and amplitude alignment between the midrange and tweeter. Sonus faber technicians adjust the final voicing of the audio system by ear, ensuring consistent emotional and quality listening experience for the customer that is aligned with the brand’s performance standard. The result is the reproduction of pure, natural sound reminiscent of a live performance, a key characteristic of Sonus faber, where each level and detail of instrument and vocal is distinguishable to the listener.
