Sonus faber Unveils the Olympica G3 Collection, Reimagining an Icon for a New Generation

Sonus faber_Olympica

Vicenza, Italy – June 30, 2026, Today Sonus faber, renowned Italian artisan of handcrafted loudspeakers, unveils Olympica G3, the third generation of its iconic Olympica collection.

More than a decade after the original debut, the Olympica G3 Collection reimagines one of Sonus faber’s most celebrated loudspeaker families for a new generation of discerning listeners, bringing together contemporary luxury, advanced acoustic engineering, and timeless Italian craftsmanship.

Across the range, Olympica G3 introduces meaningful advancements in both acoustics and design, integrating technologies derived from Sonus faber’s flagship Suprema loudspeaker with refined materials and artisanal finishes. The result is a new expression of Sonus faber’s belief that exceptional sound and beautiful design are inseparable.

THE OLYMPICA LEGACY

The Olympica story is deeply rooted in the cultural heritage of Vicenza, Italy, home to Sonus faber and Andrea Palladio, one of the most influential architects of the Renaissance. Palladio’s highest masterpiece is the celebrated Teatro Olimpico, a theater renowned for its harmony of beauty, proportion, craftsmanship, and function.

For Sonus faber, the design principles championed by Palladio have long served as a source of inspiration, helping shape the vision and design language that have defined Olympica since its debut in 2013. With Olympica G3, Palladio’s timeless principles of beauty, proportion, and craftsmanship are reimagined through modern materials and advancements in acoustic technologies for Sonus faber; bringing past and future together in a distinctly contemporary expression of luxury audio.

“What has always defined Sonus faber is our belief that beauty and performance should never be separated,” said Jim Mollica, president, Luxury Audio at Bose “While others prioritize one or the other, Olympica G3 unites refined Italian design and handcrafted attention to detail with advanced acoustic innovation to bring listeners closer to the music.”

INSPIRED BY HERITAGE, ELEVATED BY INNOVATION

Preserving its unmistakable asymmetrical lute-shaped silhouette, Olympica G3 introduces a series of thoughtful refinements that elevate both form and function. A striking 45-degree herringbone handcrafted authentic wood veneer, inspired by the brand’s iconic Stradivari loudspeaker, highlights Sonus faber’s woodworking mastery, while precision-machined aluminum details bring a new level of visual sophistication and contemporary elegance.

Every material, surface, and contour has been meticulously considered to create a loudspeaker designed to enrich both the listening experience and the living environment around it.

Beneath its handcrafted exterior, Olympica G3 represents the most technologically advanced evolution of the collection to date. Drawing directly from innovations previously developed for Sonus faber’s flagship Suprema loudspeakers, it combines the brand’s heritage of Italian craftsmanship with cutting-edge acoustic engineering to deliver greater transparency, realism, and emotional connection to music.

At the heart of Olympica G3 is the Camelia midrange driver. Inspired by the geometry of the camellia flower, its distinctive design helps minimize unwanted resonance while delivering exceptional clarity, transparency, and vocal realism. Crafted from fiber materials, the Camelia driver reflects Sonus faber’s commitment to achieving the purest and most natural reproduction of sound. Featuring a fabric surround refines performance of the midrange by improving speed, control, and linearity, allowing music to emerge with greater realism, nuance, and emotional expression.

Further enhancing the collection’s performance is a new Organic Basket that features a design influenced by the natural pattern of honeycombs. Inspired by the balance found in nature’s organic design language and engineered to maximize airflow while providing exceptional mechanical stability. This combined with a new advanced aluminum phase plug featuring new damping ring technology reduces compression and air turbulence for greater dynamics and clarity.

The Olympica III and Olympica V loudspeakers also incorporate cork as damping material in the mid-high acoustic chamber to improve the performance of this range. This minimizes unwanted resonances and reflections, resulting in greater resolution, tonal purity, and lifelike realism.

THE COLLECTION

The Olympica G3 collection includes five models designed to accommodate a wide range of listening spaces and entertainment environments:

  • Olympica V: The flagship 3-way floor standing loudspeaker of the collection, designed to deliver expansive scale, powerful dynamics, and full-range performance for dedicated listening environments.
  • Olympica III: A versatile 3-way floor standing loudspeaker that balances musicality, detail, and room-friendly proportions for a wide variety of spaces.
  • Olympica I: A compact 2-way bookshelf loudspeaker that brings the signature Olympica sound to smaller rooms while preserving exceptional imaging, clarity, and emotional engagement.
  • Olympica Center: A dedicated 3-way center channel loudspeaker engineered to deliver articulate dialogue, seamless integration, and cinematic realism within home theater systems.
  • Olympica Wall: A slim-profile 2-way on-wall loudspeaker designed for flexible placement, immersive surround sound applications, and sophisticated interior integration.

 

CONTEMPORARY LUXURY, REDEFINED

Through craftsmanship centric design and technological excellence, Olympica G3 reflects Sonus faber’s vision of contemporary luxury audio. Rooted in Italian craftsmanship, inspired by centuries of artistic and architectural heritage, and engineered to create a deeper connection between listener and music, the collection speaks equally to design enthusiasts, collectors, and audiophiles. It is an expression of Sonus faber’s enduring belief that sound can be experienced not only as something heard, but as something lived.

The Sonus faber Olympica G3 collection will be available globally beginning June 30, 2026, through authorized Sonus faber dealers and distributors worldwide.
