NEW 1" Audiophile-Grade Silk-Dome Tweeter
Our 1-inch, audiophile-grade, silk dome tweeter has been re-engineered for optimal sonic performance, even at the highest volume levels. The smooth sound of our silk tweeter ensures a warm, natural sound with no harsh aftertaste. This new tweeter features a unique system of venting to a rear chamber that employs multiple rear vents outside the neodymium magnet instead of the traditional design that uses a single vent through the magnet’s center. This new design allows the magnet to remain fully intact, resulting in a stronger motor structure with a lower resonant frequency, smooth response, and an amazingly pure, natural, and distortion free sound. This tweeter is the high point of our speaker... literally.
5.25" Woven Fiberglass Mid-Woofer
Our custom 5.25” mid-woofer excels as the heart and soul of our 5B loudspeaker. The cone is constructed of woven fiberglass, lightweight, rigid and ready to amaze you with its natural bass output. Supporting the woofer is the embrace of a butyl rubber surround, which creates a compliant yet well-dampened suspension that will deliver a lifetime of performance. Last but certainly not least, the magnetically shielded driver boasts a cast aluminum frame, amazing frequency response, and a deep commitment to keep you amazed for years to come. If this all sounds like Greek to you, just know all we’re saying is – you will be delighted.
Furniture-Grade Finish
Each of our speakers is beautifully finished in either real cherry wood or high gloss piano black lacquer, allowing them to effortlessly blend into your decor. This first-rate cabinetry unites the acoustic qualities of only the most expensive loudspeakers with a furniture-grade finish so handsome your coffee table will be jealous.
Anti-Resonant Cabinet
Every Aperion 5B cabinet is made of rock solid 1-inch thick high density fiberboard (HDF) to eliminate unwanted cabinet vibrations, effectively muting the walls of the speaker, ensuring that the only voice you hear is coming from your CD or DVD.
Magnetic Shielding
Your Aperion speakers are magnetically shielded so that they can be placed near any video monitor, ensuring a “rainbow free” video experience.
5-Way Gold-Plated Binding Posts
It's all about convenience. Weather you use banana plugs, bare wire, round pins, flat pins or spades -- they'll connect effortlessly to your new speakers. The gold plating isn't there just to make you feel regal, gold resists corrosion and provides the best possible connection to your receiver.
Acoustically Transparent Grille
Nothing stands between you and your sound. We designed a sonically invisible grille that not only looks great, but also protects your precious speakers from curious fingers, claws or snouts.
Wall & Ceiling Mounting
Now you can mount your speakers wherever you want -- out of the way and outside the reach of inquisitive children and pets. All 5B speakers come with dual 1/4" threaded inserts on the back for ceiling or wall mounting. Industry standard spacing on these inserts means they’ll work with a variety of wall and ceiling mount brands.
Bookshelf Mounting Options
All 5B speakers come with a 1/4" threaded insert on the bottom for securing to a bookshelf or speaker stand. Now you can mount your speakers wherever you want without worrying about them toppling over on Rover.
