About The Sonus faber Lumina V Floorstanding Speakers

The Sonus faber Lumina V is the flagship three-way floorstanding model in the collection. Lumina V is 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.

Lute Shaped Mid-Hi Internal Chamber: In a clever move, the internal mid-high frequency part of the cabinet is designed with the iconic lute shape, a unique feature created by Sonus faber and an ongoing mainstay for the brand since its inception in the 1990’s. 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 arrangement increases the structural rigidity of the mid-hi inner enclosure and contributes to the midrange frequency response becoming more natural, especially in the range typical of the human voice.

Hybrid IFF Crossover - Paracross Topology™: The new mid-high crossover network ‘Hybrid IFF – Paracross Topology™’ combines Interactive Fusion Filtering, first introduced in the Maxima Amator, with 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 a lowering of crossover sensitivity to radio frequencies, further improving sound definition.

The Lumina V is a slim and elegant floorstander but also rather substantial. It is the perfect choice for any mid to larger sized room as it offers a broad frequency response, generous dynamic impact and a beguiling midrange presentation.

A Closer Look At The Sonus faber Lumina V

Tweeter: The iconic D.A.D. (Damped Apex Dome™) tweeter, the same used in the Sonetto series, features a Kurtmueller hand coated soft silk diaphragm of 29mm. The chrome rings around the drivers highlight shapes and proportions and give brightness to the front baffle while outlining the Voice of Sonus faber.

Midrange: The 6” midrange also comes from the high end Sonetto range and features Sonus faber’s proprietary natural fibre and paper blend air-dried diaphragm for the most natural and dynamic midrange possible.

Dual Bass: The diaphragm of the two 6.5” woofers developed for the Lumina V is based on the sandwich construction technique. Two external layers of cellulose pulp and other natural fibres are combined with a layer of hi-tech syntactic foam in between, guaranteeing natural, controlled and dynamic sound reproduction.

Multi-Layer Wood Front Baffle: Among the materials selected for this line, what stands out is the Lumina’s multi-layer wood on the front baffle and the real wood veneer, available in iconic premium finishes including walnut & wenge, both in matte finish with maple inlays, and with a third option available in piano gloss black. All other surfaces of the cabinet are hand covered in Sonus faber’s iconic black leather.

Reflex Port: The reflex port gives additional versatility on the floorstanding models as it’s placed on the base, firing down. Thanks to this solution Lumina III and Lumina V speakers are significantly less sensitive to their placement, allowing them to sound excellent even when placed close to a back wall. This allows for greater flexibility whilst always ensuring you enjoy great performance and an enriching listening experience.

Terminals: Lumina speakers are provided with two pairs of nickel-plated binding posts, allowing for an upgrade experience provided by bi-wiring or, especially, bi-amping.
