Introduction to the Sonus Faber Palladio PW-662 In-Wall
The Sonus Faber Palladio PW-662 In-Wall is a standout performer in the Level 6 Palladio collection. This series was meticulously developed to bring the emotive, natural sound of Sonus Faber’s world-class floorstanding speakers into the architectural space.
Named after the Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio, this speaker is designed for the discerning listener who refuses to compromise. While many in-wall speakers prioritize utility, the Sonus Faber Palladio PW-662 In-Wall prioritizes the soul of the music. It offers a rich, warm, and detailed soundstage that bridges the gap between traditional Hi-Fi and modern interior design.
Artisanal Design: Leather and Stealth Aesthetics
What truly sets the Sonus Faber Palladio PW-662 In-Wall apart is its visual DNA. Unlike plastic-heavy competitors, the PW-662 features a front baffle wrapped in fine black leather. This signature Sonus Faber touch isn’t just for luxury; it serves an acoustic purpose by damping reflections around the drivers.
The “trimless” magnetic metal grille ensures the Sonus Faber Palladio PW-662 In-Wall remains virtually invisible. The grille is fully paintable, allowing you to match your wall colour perfectly. For those who appreciate the aesthetic of the speaker, the walnut wood inserts (available in specific Level 6 models) echo the design language of the flagship Olympica Nova collection.
The “Voice of Sonus Faber” Acoustic Technology
The Sonus Faber Palladio PW-662 In-Wall utilizes driver technology migrated directly from the brand’s high-end cabinet speakers.
Damped Apex Dome (DAD) Tweeter
High frequencies are handled by a 29mm silk dome tweeter. The proprietary DAD technology ensures the Sonus Faber Palladio PW-662 In-Wall delivers airy, transparent highs by eliminating anti-phase behavior. This results in a wide soundstage and pinpoint imaging that makes movie dialogue crystal clear.
Natural Fiber Mid-Woofer
The 165mm (6.5-inch) mid-woofer is crafted from a blend of natural fibers and cellulose pulp. This air-dried diaphragm provides the organic, lifelike midrange that defines the Sonus Faber Palladio PW-662 In-Wall, making it exceptional for both vocal-heavy music and high-impact soundtracks.
High-Performance Engineering for Home Cinema
Integrating the Sonus Faber Palladio PW-662 In-Wall into a home cinema ensures a seamless audio bubble.
- Timbre Matching: The PW-662 is sonically matched to the Sonetto and Olympica Nova series, making it the perfect surround or height channel in a hybrid system.
- Paracross Topology: The crossover network in the Sonus Faber Palladio PW-662 In-Wall uses semi-balanced circuitry to enhance transient response and reduce interference.
- Dynamic Range: Despite its slim profile, the speaker handles high-power peaks with ease, maintaining clarity during intense action sequences.
