4-Way Acoustic Suspension System: The Sonus Faber Omnia consists of a 4-way acoustic suspension (sealed) system with a total of 7 drivers powered by an integrated 490 watt amplifier for dynamic, room-filling sound that provides a natural and immersive listening experience in your home.

• On the front of the Omnia speaker system, two 0.75" silk dome tweeters with Neodymium motor systems and two 3" paper pulp cone midrange drivers guarantee the Sonus Faber sound signature and deliver life-like micro-dynamics.
• The Omnia's low bass frequency is achieved through a 6.5" long-throw aluminum cone woofer in a down-firing configuration that creates an immersive and impactful soundfield.
• On both sides of the speaker system are two 1.75' wide-range inverted dome cellulose pulp membrane drivers with Neodymium motor system that enhance the system's soundfield with a greater sense of dimensionality in conjunction with newly trademarked technology Omnia is bringing to life, known as CRESCENDO.

CRESCENDO DSP: Sonus Faber's CRESCENDO is an advanced DSP (digital signal processing) system that is used in their Omnia speaker system that results in a greater sense of dimensionality and immersivity from a single, compact speaker. By cleverly mixing stereo signals, adjusting delays, and modifying the phase behavior of the Omnia's drivers, Sonus Faber is able to craft a wider sound scape, where bipole and dipole theory are used together to create that immersive effect that makes the OMNIA sound like a much bigger stereo sound system. CRESCENDO activates the side firing full-range drivers, supporting the front mid-high drivers to create a create a crisp wavefront which, through room reflections, mimics that of a live performance.

Mounting Options: The Sonus Faber Omnia can be tabletop mounted on a stable flat surface such as a desk, countertop, shelf, piece of AV furniture or other flat mounting surface. Make sure to not obstruct any of Omnia drivers, leaving at least 3.9375" of clearance for the side-firing, full-range drivers. Make sure to leave at least 3.9375" of clearance between the back of the speaker and rear wall for adequate venitallation.

Detachable AC Power Cord: The Sonus Faber Omnia comes with a detachable 57" AC power cord (C7/2-prong) that will plug into the back of the wireless powered speaker and into an AC power wall outlet or surge protector/line conditioner (sold separately - see Accessories Tab).
