Sonus faber’s Omnia All-In-One Delivers Turntable-Ready High-End Sound
Sonus faber's Omnia combines high-end Italian style with a 490W streaming all-in-one speaker system that you can plug your turntable into. The company says its Omnia wireless speaker system sets a new benchmark in design, technology and sound quality. Moreover, it's undoubtedly got la moda Italiana!
This 490-watt, DSP-optimised, seven-speaker, four-way home audio system offers wireless connectivity to bring you Apple AirPlay 2, Chromecast Built-in, Spotify Connect, TIDAL connect, Bluetooth AptX HD, and is Roon Ready.
Sonus faber's Omnia also sports a wired Ethernet connection and HDMI ARC to enhance TV sound. Thanks to its built-in (MM) phono stage, you can even add your turntable to Omnia. There is also a switchable RCA input.
Furthermore, this is the debut of two new trademarked Sonus faber technologies dubbed SENSO and CRESCENDO.
SENSO is a touch control interface on the unit itself. Illuminated lines on the SENSO top panel indicate the speakers' mode, input and volume and connectivity options.
Meanwhile, CRESCENDO is an advanced signal-processing system (DSP) that introduces a greater sense of immersion and dimensionality by cleverly utilising the two 44 mm full-range drivers with a non-pressed cellulose pulp inverted dome, says Sonus faber.
Joining those drivers are a pair of 19 mm silk-dome tweeters with Neodymium slug structure magnet motor system, two 76 mm paper-pulp cone mid-range drive units and a 165 mm long-throw bass woofer with an aluminium down-firing driver.
Sonus faber's Chief Design Officer, Livio Cucuzza, told StereoNET:
In its new, more accessible category, Omnia will offer a taste of Sonus faber's 40-year history to thousands of new customers. Ambitious of course, but also gratifying.
The Sonus faber Omnia measures 130 mm x 650 mm x 280 mm (HxWxD), weighs 7.6kg, and will be available with either a Walnut or Graphite wood top from late March, and May 2022, respectively. It will sell in Australia for $3,495 RRP.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
