Designed around a goal of exceptional neutrality, transparency, and dynamic precision, ex3me preserves the natural musical character associated with Sonus faber while extending resolution at both ends of the frequency spectrum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its Diamond-Like Carbon-treated Beryllium tweeter, dedicated natural-fiber midrange, dual woofers, and side-firing nanocarbon infra-woofers, Il Cremonese ex3me is engineered for systems where tonal accuracy, scale, imaging, and low-level detail are equally important. Its 92 dB sensitivity and recommended amplifier range of 100 to 800 watts allow it to partner with a wide selection of high-performance electronics, provided the amplifier is stable into its 4-ohm nominal impedance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbsolute Neutrality with the Voice of Sonus Faber\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIl Cremonese ex3me was developed to reproduce the musical signal with minimal resonance, coloration, or editorial character. Sonus faber describes the design as suitable not only for the finest home listening systems but also as an extremely high-performance professional studio monitor. The speaker retains the original model’s midrange and woofer foundations while introducing new high-frequency and infra-low-frequency technologies derived from the Ex3ma project.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDiamond-Like Carbon Beryllium Tweeter\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 30 mm Beryllium dome tweeter provides extremely fast transient response, fine microdynamic detail, and extended high-frequency reproduction. Sonus faber applies a Diamond-Like Carbon treatment to the Beryllium diaphragm, increasing rigidity and moving its resonant behavior farther outside the audible range while reducing the metallic coloration sometimes associated with untreated Beryllium designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tweeter is driven by a powerful neodymium motor system and uses a CNC-machined aluminum-alloy rear decompression chamber with an acoustic labyrinth designed without parallel surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eNatural Midrange and Independent Woofer Chambers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dedicated 180 mm midrange preserves the recognizable “Voice of Sonus faber.” Its diaphragm uses an air-dried, non-pressed blend of cellulose pulp and other natural fibers to deliver articulate vocals, realistic instrumental texture, and a smooth transition into the high frequencies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo 180 mm woofers operate in an independent, acoustically controlled enclosure with Stealth Reflex loading. Their sandwich diaphragms balance rigidity, low mass, and speed to maintain tonal continuity with the midrange while producing clean and controlled bass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSide-Firing Nanocarbon Infra-Woofers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo 220 mm side-firing infra-woofers extend low-frequency performance to a specified 25 Hz. Their tri-laminated diaphragms combine nanocarbon fiber with a Nomex honeycomb core for exceptional structural rigidity and resistance to flexing, even at high excursion. Each infra-woofer operates in its own acoustically controlled chamber with a dedicated Stealth Reflex duct.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRedesigned Paracross Crossover Network\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mid-high crossover network was redesigned specifically to integrate the DLC Beryllium tweeter with the natural-fiber midrange. Premium non-inductive resistors and air-core inductors are used throughout. Sonus faber’s Paracross Topology™ makes the network less sensitive to radio-frequency interference, helping lower the noise floor and preserve low-level information.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRhomboidal Diamond Cabinet\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIl Cremonese ex3me retains the distinctive five-sided Rhomboidal Diamond Design of the original model. The non-parallel cabinet walls help suppress standing waves and internal reflections, while solid billet-aluminum Damper Shelves at the top and bottom increase rigidity and reduce unwanted structural resonance. The enclosure is finished in classic Red Violin high-gloss wood with black leather and aluminum detailing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSonus faber’s ZVT decoupling system mechanically interfaces the speaker with the floor to improve stability and reduce the transfer of unwanted vibration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReference-level 3.5-way, six-driver floorstanding loudspeaker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30 mm Diamond-Like Carbon Beryllium dome tweeter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDedicated 180 mm natural-fiber midrange driver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual 180 mm woofers in an independent Stealth Reflex chamber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual 220 mm side-firing nanocarbon and Nomex infra-woofers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRedesigned crossover with Paracross Topology™\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive-sided Rhomboidal Diamond cabinet with non-parallel walls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid aluminum Damper Shelves and ZVT decoupling system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClassic Red Violin high-gloss wood and black leather finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned and handcrafted in Italy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x:auto;\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%; border-collapse:collapse;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left; padding:10px; border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eSystem\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e3.5-way, full para-aperiodic vented box\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left; padding:10px; border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eTweeter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e30 mm Diamond-Like Carbon Beryllium dome diaphragm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left; padding:10px; border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eMidrange\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e180 mm M18 XTR-04 neodymium magnet system\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left; padding:10px; border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eWoofers\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e2 × 180 mm W18XTR-12\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left; padding:10px; border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eInfra-Woofers\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e2 × 220 mm nanocarbon fiber\/Nomex honeycomb long-throw subwoofers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left; padding:10px; border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eCrossover Points\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e80 Hz, 250 Hz, and 2,500 Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left; padding:10px; border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eFrequency Response\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e25 Hz–35,000 Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left; padding:10px; border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eSensitivity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e92 dB SPL (2.83 V\/1 m)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left; padding:10px; border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eNominal Impedance\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e4 ohms\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left; padding:10px; border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eRecommended Amplifier Power\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e100–800 watts per channel, undistorted signal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left; padding:10px; border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eConnections\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eFour binding posts: Mid-High and Low\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left; padding:10px; border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eDecoupling System\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eZVT\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left; padding:10px; border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eDimensions (H × W × D)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e57 × 15.6 × 24.5 in.
