1. Introduction to the Sonus faber Gravis III
The Sonus faber Gravis III is where raw physical power meets intelligent digital management. As a significant step up from the Gravis I and II, this model is designed for listeners who require absolute precision in their low-frequency reproduction. It is not merely a bass speaker; it is a sophisticated acoustic tool that integrates into your room’s unique environment.
By utilizing a high-performance active driver and a specialized Class AB amplifier, the Sonus faber Gravis III achieves a level of “fast” bass that perfectly tracks the most rapid musical transients. Whether it’s the visceral impact of a drum kit or the sustained low notes of an organ, this subwoofer handles it with effortless authority.
2. Reference Aesthetics: The Olympica Nova Connection
The design of the Sonus faber Gravis III is inspired by the award-winning Olympica Nova series. The top surface is covered in hand-selected leather, while the sides feature real wood veneers with the signature Sonus faber metal string accents.
This level of craftsmanship ensures that the Sonus faber Gravis III looks as premium as it sounds. It is designed to be displayed proudly, serving as a functional work of art that enhances the visual appeal of any high-end listening room.

4. Revolutionary App Control and Digital Calibration

- Crossover Frequency: Seamlessly blend the sub with your main speakers.

5. The Power of the 10″ Ultra-Long Throw Driver
The heart of the Sonus faber Gravis III is its 10-inch active driver. Unlike standard paper cones, this driver uses a sandwich honeycomb structure. This material is incredibly light but extremely rigid, preventing cone flex even when pushed to its 600W RMS limit.
Paired with a high-current Class AB amplifier, the Sonus faber Gravis III delivers bass that is deep, “dry,” and free from the bloat commonly associated with lesser subwoofers.
