Introduction to the Sonus Faber Palladio PC-563P
The Sonus Faber Palladio PC-563P is a revolutionary architectural loudspeaker designed to solve the most common problem in home cinema: the lack of wall space for speakers. Belonging to the Level 5 Palladio collection, the “P” (Point) designation signifies its ability to point sound directly at the listener from a ceiling-mounted position.
While standard ceiling speakers fire sound straight down, the Sonus Faber Palladio PC-563P features an internal 45-degree angle. This allows for a coherent, immersive soundstage that feels like it is coming from the screen, not the rafters. It is the definitive choice for sophisticated media rooms and high-end residential theaters.
The “Point” Advantage: Angled Driver Technology
The primary innovation of the Sonus Faber Palladio PC-563P is its driver orientation. By angling the entire driver array, Sonus Faber ensures that high-frequency energy and midrange detail are directed into the primary listening zone.
This directivity is crucial for LCR (Left, Center, Right) applications. When you use the Sonus Faber Palladio PC-563P for your front channels, the dialogue remains centered and clear, creating a cinematic experience that rivals traditional floor-standing speakers while remaining completely hidden from view.
Dual 6-Inch Woofers: Unleashing Dynamic Power
Unlike smaller architectural speakers, the Sonus Faber Palladio PC-563P utilizes two 165mm (6.5-inch) mid-woofers. This dual-driver configuration significantly increases the surface area for air displacement, resulting in a more impactful and authoritative low-end.
The Sonus Faber Palladio PC-563P provides the “punch” necessary for modern action movie soundtracks. By doubling the drivers, the speaker achieves higher sound pressure levels with lower distortion, ensuring your home cinema feels as grand as a commercial theater.
The Voice of Sonus Faber: DAD Tweeters and Natural Fibers
The acoustic soul of the Sonus Faber Palladio PC-563P is derived from the iconic Sonetto and Olympica Nova collections.
Damped Apex Dome (DAD) Tweeter
High frequencies are handled by a 29mm silk dome tweeter. The proprietary DAD system eliminates anti-phase behavior by damping the apex of the dome, providing the silky-smooth, transparent highs that define the Sonus Faber Palladio PC-563P.
Custom Natural Fiber Diaphragms
The woofers are crafted from a blend of natural fibers and cellulose pulp. This air-dried material provides a warm, lifelike midrange. In the Sonus Faber Palladio PC-563P, this ensures that human voices sound organic and emotive, rather than sterile or metallic.
Italian Luxury Design: Leather and Stealth Aesthetics
Sonus Faber believes that architectural speakers should still embody artisanal beauty. The Sonus Faber Palladio PC-563P features:
- Signature Leather Baffle: The front of the speaker is hand-finished in fine black leather to dampen diffraction.
- Trimless Magnetic Grilles: An ultra-slim metal grille stays in place via hidden magnets for a clean, screw-less look.
- Fully Paintable: You can customize the Sonus Faber Palladio PC-563P to match your ceiling perfectly by painting the grille to your exact specifications.
