Sonus faber has launched the Chameleon speaker collection, a range that the Vicenza based company hopes will bring its products to a larger and younger demographic. It’s doing this by bringing the start price down to £430 and offering a bit of colour, variable colour at that.
“Chameleon embodies all of the iconic design elements of Sonus faber while offering a level of customization previously unattainable in this market segment”: the entire cabinet is covered in leather; driver flanges are embellished with aluminum trims and the side walls have exchangeable panels that can be easily removed and replaced. So choosing the finish is no longer a permanent decision. Owners of the Sonus faber Chameleon will have the freedom to select the most suitable style for their environment.
“Sonus faber's designers have developed cabinet shapes and proportions that guarantee exceptional control of internal resonance, perfect acoustics, excellent driver stability and easy integration into rooms. All the driver components are built exclusively for Sonus faber by the foremost manufacturers in the field. Extreme care is taken in the design of the crossover network to maintain Sonus faber’s standards of excellence. Specialized software used in the development of the Chameleon collection has allowed Sonus faber to design these speakers to exacting specifications. Final listening tests and ‘tuning by ear’ instill emotion and humanity into the final listening experience.”
“The three speakers that make up the Sonus faber Chameleon collection offer optimal solutions for both stereo music lovers as well as for those who want to create a multichannel home theater system. A floor-standing model, a bookshelf speaker, and a center channel provide a range of combinations that are well-suited to any environment, from the largest living room to the most intimate listening room. Sonus faber Chameleon side panels are available in six different finishes: white, black, metal blue, metal grey, orange, red. To stay up-to-date on all the new finishes that will be released in the upcoming months, visit our website www.sonusfaber.com.” The Chameleon B bookshelf is £700/pair, the T floorstander is £1,670/pair and the C centre channel £430. They will be available from Sonus faber dealers and distributors in April.
