Lamborghini and Sonus faber

In a groundbreaking collaboration, Automobili Lamborghini and Sonus faber are joining forces to introduce Sonus faber’s automotive audio system in the Lamborghini Revuelto. This exciting partnership will offer the Sonus faber audio system as an optional specification on the Revuelto starting from May 2024. Representing the pinnacle of Italian artistry, craftsmanship, and excellence, this in-car audio system embodies a rich tradition of quality.

The Lamborghini Revuelto will be the first vehicle from the esteemed supercar manufacturer to offer customisation with Sonus faber’s renowned automotive audio system. Developed through a collaborative effort between Sonus faber’s R&D and Design department and Lamborghini Centro Stile, this innovative audio system promises an unparalleled audio experience.

“The collaboration with Lamborghini is an extremely important milestone for Sonus faber, further expanding the brand into the luxury car segment” said Fiore Cappelletto, Vice President and General Manager Automotive at McIntosh Group “Working on the Revuelto has been exhilarating yet challenging given the cabin’s restrictions and the sound of their incredible V12 behind the seats. Thanks to the joint work between the teams in Sant ’Agata and Vicenza, the journey has been remarkable, and we hope to transfer our passion at Sonus faber to every Revuelto customer. In fact, the system we engineered and tuned fully embodies world-famous Sonus faber’s natural sound. We are honored and grateful for the trust that Lamborghini extended to us on this project.”

The Lamborghini Revuelto sound system represents the fusion of acoustical engineering and Sonus faber heritage, meticulously designed to deliver natural, clear, and detailed sound, offering listeners an unparalleled audio experience. With a total of seven speakers, including an exclusive phase plug and natural fiber composite material developed specifically for this exceptional vehicle, every element of the system has been carefully selected to elevate the in-car audio experience to new heights. Crafted with precision and attention to detail, each component is dedicated to delivering Sonus faber’s signature natural sound, ensuring that every journey in the Lamborghini Revuelto is accompanied by an immersive and unforgettable sonic experience.

Amplifier

- The system introduces a new Full Class D amplifier, which, in combination with a very powerful DSP, ensures smooth transitions between electrical signals and acoustical tones.

- The amplifier is designed to power the speakers, with maximum potential of 750W.

Center Channel / Surround

- The center channel speaker is designed to provide a distinctive sound experience directly in front of the pilot and co-pilot, helping recreate the masterful symmetry of the listening experience and minimize space utilization by featuring an ultra-thin unit with a reversed structure.

- Placing the neodymium engine strategically in the middle of the unit reduces overall dimensions and enhances sound clarity, leveraging the dual role as a phase plug—a state-of-the-art technology recently introduced by Sonus faber in iconic products like the last Homage collection.

- Additionally, the conical shape at the center of the speaker further enhances the output sound, delivering powerful yet natural audio and a bandwidth ranging from 100Hz to 20.000Hz.

- For surround channels, integrated two full range speakers are positioned right behind the pilot and co-pilot. The surround feature is designed to enrich the sound experience by deepening its depth, enveloping occupants within an authentic acoustic environment.

Doors: MidWoofer & Tweeter (Two-Way System)

- Both doors are equipped with a midwoofer and a tweeter, forming a two-way system similar to a Hi-Fi home speaker, to perfect musical reproduction.

- The midwoofer, responsible for medium frequencies, operates in the range from 30Hz to 15.000Hz. - The exceptional feature of the midwoofer embedded in the doors lies in its extensive internal movement, which allows it to achieve prolonged vibration and reproduce high-fidelity sound.

- The center of the speaker deviates from the standard design by incorporating a conical-shaped dust cap, contributing to the delivery of more defined sound.

- The tweeter handles high frequencies spanning from 1.200Hz to an impressive 30.000Hz—a remarkably high value for human perception. Thanks to its ultra-lightweight NanoSilk dome, high frequencies remain very precise, but never edgy or sharp.

Tunings

- In the final stages of tuning, Sonus faber artisans incorporate the human touch to perfect the system’s tunings, listening to a large variety of tracks from different music genres, while fine-tuning the output sound.
