Description
The most compact option for the center channel. It provides superior dialogue clarity for your cinema experience. A concentration of power and quality that allows complete enjoyment of our natural sound, with no compromise. Since 1983, many moments have marked the history of Sonus faber; the launch of the Olympica Collection 6 years ago is one of them. One of the first lines presented as a complete family of products, but above all, the very first one to feature original drivers, entirely designed in Sonus faber. Olympica Nova is the second generation of the iconic family of 2013, improved in its form and substance, imbued with the timeless values that inspired us in creating the original line. The result is a new Collection that embraces the most advanced technologies that already enhance our most prestigious creations.
Olympica Nova CI is the smaller of two center channel loudspeakers in the Olympica Nova collection by Sonus faber. Feature-packed with a 2-way design, the Olympica Nova CI comes with two 150mm woofers for superior control in the lower frequencies in the music. The tweeter in the Olympica Nova CI features the DAD (Damped Apex Dome) technology on a 28mm silk dome diaphragm and a magnetic motor system that integrates “Neodymium Cap Design”. The mid-woofer is derived from the Homage Tradition collection.

Benefits of Sonus faber Olympica NOVA CI Center Channel Speaker:
The lack of flat and parallel walls improves enclosure performance and maintains the typical asymmetrical Lute shape of first generation Olympica. The asymmetrical shape of the cabinet is an original design concept that allows versatile positioning of the speakers to tune the bass response in any room. Inspired by nature, the lines follow the flow of a circular spiral motion, achieving a more organic cabinet structure. No longer just a functional element added to handle airflow, the reflex duct is now fully integrated into the cabinet, further improving the speed and transparency of sound.
Midwoofer
It shares its technical characteristics with the bigger sibling’s midrange. As a matter of fact, it is the same speaker but with two main differences. The fabric hand coated dust-cap, which is implemented to maximize the diaphragm’s emitting surface and therefore allowing for deeper low frequencies extension while, at the same time, perfectly blending with the tweeter from the tonal balance standpoint. The additional winding of the voice-coil improves the driver’s excursion allowing for a much longer throw.
