ARIA
5 WAYS FLOORSTANDING / 2 pieces
It is amazing how Aria it's capable to make music sound intimate and precise, the ease with it sculpted in three dimensions the instruments in space. The woofer at the top of the cabinet has, in this particular model, a specific task. All other models in the Aviator series interact with the environment to limit unwanted reflections, increasing the intelligibility of music.
Aria dramatically improves this by employing a variation that allows the regularization of the entire audio spectrum. The driver positioned in the upper part of the cabinet – a 165 mm woofer – is responsible for this extraordinary result.
FROM ACADEMY TO AVIATOR
like a mountain wind, pure and powerful
The floorstanding models of the Aviator line are equipped with an additional woofer, also derived from the prestigious Academy series, as with the front drivers. This extra loudspeaker is positioned at the rear of the cabinet, helping to broaden the sonic performance and improve the overall response of the system. Amelia employs a 130 mm woofer, Cielo a 160 mm, and Aria a 200 mm, each one precisely dimensioned to enhance the specific character of the model.
To this configuration is added a further woofer of the same size placed on the bottom of the speaker. The combination of these elements is not a mere design choice, but the result of careful acoustic research aimed at increasing overall performance, extending the low-frequency range, and making the listening experience even more enveloping, natural, and realistic.
ALL ABOUT OUR ARIA
the authentic breath of music
Aria is the name chosen because air is humanity’s first musical instrument and the invisible vehicle of sound. It is breath, lightness, and at the same time the substance that vibrates and moves us. As in Italian opera, the “aria” is the purest and most intense form of musical expression. This loudspeaker disappears, leaving only the music to float in space. A name that unites science and poetry, technology and art.

Cabinet & Dimension
Cabinet
Solid walnut and HDF. The structure comprises two cabinets:
the lower contains two subwoofers; the upper contains one woofer, one
midrange and one tweeter. The two wood cases are separated by four
cylindrical proprietary-engineered elastomeric puffers
acting as vibration decouplers to dissipate mechanical energy by orthogonal
elongation

PSYCHOACOUSTIC TARGET
SCIENCE AND PERCEPTION AT THE SERVICE OF SOUND.
Psychoacoustics allows us to understand how our perceptual system (ears, eyes, brain, smell, etc.. ) perceives the components of reproduction and how it decode them.
The acoustic environment allows us to understand how the environment affects drastically the reproduction, then how the energy is transferred into the listening room and what the listener receives.
The proper interaction of the results of scientific research in these fields allow us to provide a natural sound and respectful of the main component to be considered: the man.
