Introduction to the Sonus Faber Palladio PL-664 LCR

The Sonus Faber Palladio PL-664 LCR is the flagship in-wall model of the Level 6 Palladio collection. Developed to bridge the gap between traditional high-end loudspeakers and architectural integration, this speaker brings the acoustic soul of the Olympica Nova collection directly into your walls.
For the serious home cinema enthusiast, the Sonus Faber Palladio PL-664 LCR offers a revolutionary solution. It is designed to function perfectly as a Left, Center, or Right (LCR) channel, providing a symmetrical and cohesive soundstage that transforms movies and music into a visceral, emotive experience.

The 3-Way Performance Advantage

While most architectural speakers rely on 2-way designs, the Sonus Faber Palladio PL-664 LCR utilizes a sophisticated 3-way configuration. This allows each driver to operate within its most efficient frequency range, resulting in a sound that is both more powerful and more refined.
  • Dedicated Midrange: Isolates human vocals for crystalline dialogue clarity.
  • Dual 6-Inch Woofers: Provides the air displacement necessary for deep, impactful cinematic bass.
  • Linear Crossover: Ensures a seamless transition between frequencies for an “invisible” speaker transition.

The “Voice of Sonus Faber” Driver Technology

The core of the Sonus Faber Palladio PL-664 LCR is built upon the same high-end components used in Sonus Faber’s world-renowned cabinet speakers.

Damped Apex Dome (DAD) Tweeter

High frequencies are managed by a 29mm silk dome tweeter featuring the proprietary DAD system. By damping the apex of the dome, the Sonus Faber Palladio PL-664 LCR eliminates anti-phase behavior, delivering transparent, airy highs that never become fatiguing.

Natural Fiber Diaphragms

The dedicated midrange and dual woofers are crafted from a custom blend of natural fibers and air-dried cellulose pulp. This organic material ensures that the Sonus Faber Palladio PL-664 LCR maintains the warm, natural timbre that is the hallmark of Italian audio.

Artisanal Design: Leather, Wood, and Stealth

Level 6 speakers are designed to be as beautiful as they are functional. The Sonus Faber Palladio PL-664 LCR features a front baffle hand-finished in fine black leather, effectively damping acoustic reflections around the drivers.
  • Trimless Magnetic Grille: The ultra-slim metal grille ensures the Sonus Faber Palladio PL-664 LCR sits nearly flush with the wall.
  • Paintable Surface: Match your wall color perfectly for a truly bespoke installation.
  • Walnut Wood Inlays: Select components echo the design language of the Olympica Nova series.
