Sonus Faber was founded in 1983 by Franco Serblin in Vicenza, Italy, with a vision to create speakers that would perform like true musical instruments. Drawing inspiration from the craftsmanship of Italian luthiers, Serblin aimed to reproduce music with the same warmth, richness, and emotional depth as live performances. This vision is embodied in Sonus Faber’s design philosophy, where each speaker is handcrafted using traditional techniques and meticulously tuned by ear.

The brand’s signature lute-shaped design, introduced in 1993, minimizes internal resonances and reinforces the speaker’s role as a genuine musical instrument, imparting a warm, relaxed sound to the music. Sonus Faber’s aesthetic approach to speaker craftsmanship appeals not only to audiophiles but also to home cinema enthusiasts and lifestyle customers alike. The appeal is clear: owning a Sonus Faber speaker means bringing a piece of passionate, authentic, and timeless Italian heritage into the home.
