Sonus Faber introduces The New Concertino, blending heritage and innovation.

New Edition Concertino G4 Loudspeaker that Combines Heritage and Innovation.

Here at SoundNews, we are always impressed when a highly refined product emerges from years of experience, craftsmanship, and innovation. The fourth generation of one of the most miniature stand mounts from Sonus Faber, the Concertino G4, was announced, and today, we can talk about it as the confidentiality curtain is lifted now. Before you have a chance to look closely at this Maestro Edition, we need to tell you a little more about this fourth generation of Concertino, which takes Sonus Faber’s tradition to new technological boundaries, respecting Italian craftsmanship while enhancing it with the research and use of innovative materials and cutting-edge acoustic solutions.

Special Edition

As a celebration of the 30th Anniversary of the first Concertino introduction, Sonus Faber is releasing a limited run of 300 pairs of Concertino G4 “Maestro” special editions. These special editions feature a brass plaque with progressive numbering applied to the walnut side panel of the speaker.

Concertino G4 embodies the rich artisanal and acoustic tradition of the renowned Italian brand. Just like in the Italian artisan workshops of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, where an apprentice worked under the guidance of a master for years before becoming a journeyman and eventually aspiring to the title of master through the creation of a ‘masterpiece’, the Maestro Edition represents the culmination of decades of experience, craftsmanship, and innovation. 

These speakers are not only a tribute to tradition but also a demonstration of excellence achieved through a meticulous process of design and production. Similar to the master musicians of the past, who directed, taught, and composed with dedication, the master artisans of Sonus Faber have poured all their knowledge and passion into every detail of the Maestro Edition. Each speaker is a work of art that skillfully combines refined aesthetics and superior sound quality, offering an unparalleled acoustic experience that reflects the brand’s philosophy. 

Thus, the Maestro Edition from Sonus Faber represents a product and a legacy that celebrates Italian artisanal tradition and excellence in audio production, embodying the true meaning of ‘Maestro’ in the contemporary context. 

Cork, walnut, and plant-based leather

Innovative materials, like cork, walnut, and leather, which Suprema and Sonetto share, are used in the central chassis. This allows precise modeling, limits internal resonances, and reduces the need for additional damping material inside the small cabinet, significantly improving sound quality.

The side walls are crafted from solid walnut wood with ribbed surfaces for enhanced structural integrity and rigidity without internal bracing. The cork structure and front baffle are covered with recycled leather or a plant-based alternative produced by Ohoskin.

An aluminum ring enclosing the silk tweeter, a reflex duct output crafted from walnut wood, and superb binding posts with a brass nameplate will complete Sonus Faber’s luxurious plethora of materials and highly skilled craftsmanship.

Acoustic Design

The Concertino G4 is a 2-way stand mount featuring a 1″ silk dome tweeter with DAD technology and a 5″ paper pulp mid-woofer with an organic basket. A reflex port in the back of the cabinet prevents turbulence, and the crossover design is simplified in line with Sonus Faber’s Phase-Coherent philosophy. The Concertino G4 comes with a dedicated stand design enriched with walnut veneer inserts to complement the speaker’s aesthetic.
