Sonus faber, founded in Vicenza in 1983 is an Italian manufacturer of luxury handcrafted speakers and a division of U.S. audio manufacturer McIntosh Labs. Sonus faber yesterday announced a collaboration with Maserati on the MC20 supercar, making this the only model in the world currently in production with a Sonus faber sound system. The MC20 is a mid-engine 90-degree twin-turbo V-6, 620 horsepower supercar, that will also be available as an all-electric supercar in 2022. The automotive press has been anticipating the MC20 as the Maserati model that could once and for all topple Ferrari from the podium of luxury Italian supercars.Maserati claims the MC20 will accelerate from zero to 60 mph in less than 2.9 seconds making it faster than the Lamborghini Huracan Evo.
The Sonus faber audio system for the Maserati MC20 vehicle cabin was designed and engineered in Italy just like Maserati and features a 12-channel high-power 695-watt Class-D Dual 400MHz DSP amplifier with oversized power supply, and 12 independently driven speakers 5 tweeters x 45W, 5 midranges x 60W, and 2 Woofers x 60W.
