SSEVII, FACTOTUM Miami Crow

Developed in late 2024, the S.S. VII (Sound System VII), known as "Miami", was commissioned for the central plaza of Alcova Miami during Art Basel. This piece represents a landmark in the studio’s "site-specific" philosophy: instead of shipping hardware from Madrid, the team traveled to Florida to produce the piece locally, minimizing the carbon footprint and integrating the production into the industrial fabric of Hialeah.

The design team conceived Miami as the sonic heart of the FACTOTUM collection. Unlike previous models made from exhibition waste, this cabinet was constructed using concrete casting melamine plywood, a material sourced and CNC-cut locally at 3layers premises in Hialeah. The design follows the studio’s signature assembly logic: a glue-free structure held together by heat-blackened screws and finished with water-based varnish, ensuring the object remains a fully dismountable and circular technical asset.

Technically, the S.S. VII is the most powerful "totem" in the collection to date. It delivers 2000 watts of sound power (1000 RMS), managed by four passive high-fidelity frequency division circuits. Its impressive configuration includes:

Two 18" subwoofers for deep architectural resonance.

Four 10" mid-range cones.

Two high-pitch compression motors.

A Crown 2500 stereo power amplifier ensuring high-definition signal processing.

100% recycled textile geopanels for interior acoustic dampening.

As part of the "collections" scale, the S.S. VII Miami stands as a monumental sound device that bridges high-end audio engineering with local craftsmanship. By utilizing the leftovers from its own CNC production to create the accompanying FACTOTUM furniture series, the studio reinforced its commitment to a zero-waste methodology, proving that even the most demanding professional audio equipment can be born from a conscious and localized industrial process.
