Powerful 12-inch dynamic head with long stroke and extremely rigid and lightweight three-layer ParaNanoCarbon sandwich diffuser, resistant to bending even at the strongest signal, which ensures dense and accurate bass reproduction. In addition, the extremely powerful and highly efficient Class AB amplifier is rated at 1800 watts at 4 ohms.
The subwoofer is equipped with a 10-inch woofer with a diffuser made of impregnated paper. The diffuser is mounted on a wide rubber suspension, which ensures its rapid movement with a large amplitude. The bass is loaded onto a passive radiator. The radiator on the front panel of the subwoofer is covered with a removable safety net.
This model is equipped with a low-frequency driver with a diameter of 8 inches with a very large amplitude of the diffuser movement. The bass unit is located on the bottom panel of the subwoofer and is aimed at the floor, which ensures an even distribution of bass in the listening room.
The Sonus Faber Gravis III subwoofer is made according to the classical scheme in a closed rectangular (almost cubic) case with a 10-inch driver on the side wall. This ultra-long-range speaker, with which the Gravis III showed a lower limit of 25 Hz, received a three-layer sandwich diffuser reinforced with a spatial honeycomb structure.
