1. Introduction to the Sonus faber Gravis II
The Sonus faber Gravis II is the “big brother” to the Gravis I, offering significantly more air-moving capability and physical presence. While many subwoofers are designed simply to shake the floor, the Gravis II is built to be a musical instrument. It provides a foundation of low-frequency extension that feels natural, fast, and incredibly detailed.
Whether you are listening to a complex orchestral piece or an explosive action movie, the Sonus faber Gravis II ensures that every low note is felt as much as it is heard. It is the ultimate choice for medium-to-large rooms where depth and control are paramount.
2. The Art of Italian Bass: Design and Finish
Consistent with the brand’s luxury heritage, the Sonus faber Gravis II features a hand-wrapped leather top and exquisite cabinet finishes in Walnut, Wenge, or Piano Black. Unlike industrial-looking subwoofers, this unit is designed to be a centerpiece of your home.
The elegant aesthetics are matched by a heavy, rigid cabinet structure that eliminates unwanted vibrations, ensuring that the only thing you hear is pure, undistorted bass.
3. Key Technical Specifications

4. Dual-Driver Performance: Passive Radiator Technology
What sets the Sonus faber Gravis II apart is its dual 10-inch driver configuration. By using an active 10-inch driver paired with a 10-inch passive radiator, Sonus faber achieves the deep extension of a ported box with the speed and accuracy of a sealed enclosure.
This design allows the Sonus faber Gravis II to reach down to a staggering 25 Hz, providing that visceral, “bottomless” bass feel that brings movies to life.
5. High-Current Class AB Amplification
Powering the Sonus faber Gravis II is a massive 350W RMS Class AB amplifier. While Class D amplifiers are more common, Sonus faber chooses Class AB for its superior “grip” and tonal warmth. This amplifier ensures that the 10-inch drivers stay under perfect control, even during the most demanding low-frequency transients.
6. Seamless Integration for Hi-Fi and Cinema
The Sonus faber Gravis II features the same dual-input versatility as the rest of the Gravis range. You can connect your AV receiver via the LFE input while simultaneously connecting your stereo integrated amplifier via the High-Level Speakon® input.
This allow the Sonus faber Gravis II to serve two masters: providing thundering effects for movies and delicate, rhythmic support for your music collection.
