The Sonus faber Olympica Nova CII is the larger and more advanced centre channel within the range, created to anchor high-performance home cinema systems. Designed to sit at the heart of a multi-channel setup, it delivers a commanding and articulate presentation. Dialogue is projected with clarity and scale, ensuring voices remain intelligible even within complex, dynamic soundtracks.

Engineered for both power and finesse, the Olympica Nova CII offers a sound that feels immediate and engaging. It reproduces vocals and instrumentation with a sense of timing and nuance that closely mirrors a live performance. This balance of precision and musicality allows it to integrate seamlessly with the wider system, enhancing immersion without drawing undue attention to itself.

At its core is a sophisticated three-way driver system, incorporating a 28 mm soft dome tweeter, dual midrange drivers and dual woofers. This layout enables greater separation across the frequency range, improving clarity and reducing congestion. The result is a more open and controlled presentation, particularly beneficial in demanding cinematic scenes.

The inclusion of dual 180 mm woofers provides substantial low-frequency capability. These drivers utilise a specialised sandwich construction, combining cellulose pulp with a lightweight foam core to maintain both strength and responsiveness. Bass is delivered with depth and authority, yet remains well integrated with the mid and high frequencies.

The Olympica Nova CII features the Stealth Ultraflex system, a para-aperiodic vented design that optimises airflow through the cabinet. By reducing turbulence and distortion, it ensures cleaner and more controlled bass reproduction. This also allows for greater flexibility in placement, helping maintain performance across a variety of room layouts.

The cabinet follows Sonus faber’s signature lute-shaped design, eliminating parallel internal walls to reduce resonance. This asymmetrical structure improves clarity and contributes to more even sound dispersion within the room. It is a design choice that blends acoustic engineering with a distinctive visual identity.

Constructed from eight layers of curved wood, the cabinet offers exceptional rigidity. Internal ribs further reduce vibration, allowing the drive units to perform with precision. This robust construction helps preserve detail and control, even at higher output levels or during complex audio passages.

Handcrafted in Italy, the Olympica Nova CII reflects the brand’s commitment to natural materials and refined finishes. Hand-finished wood is paired with a die-cast aluminium structure, while signature Italian leather detailing surrounds the drivers. The result is a centre channel speaker that is as visually striking as it is acoustically capable, complementing both modern and traditional interiors.
