1" Audiophile-Grade Silk-Dome Tweeter
Our 1-inch, audiophile-grade, silk dome tweeter has been engineered for optimal sonic performance. The smooth sound of our silk tweeter ensures a warm, natural sound with no harsh aftertaste. We use ferrofluid cooling for high power handling, smooth response, and an amazingly pure, natural, and distortion free sound. This tweeter is the high point of our speaker... Literally.
5.25" Mineral-Filled Polypropylene Mid-Woofer (ABS frame)
Our custom 5.25” mid-woofer excels as the heart and soul of our 533-VAC. The cone is made of a mineral-filled polypropylene which provides resonance dampening and allows it to handle the demands of higher midrange frequencies. The loving embrace of a butyl rubber surround creates a compliant yet well-dampened suspension. Last, but certainly not least, the magnetically shielded driver boasts a solid polymer frame, super flat frequency response, and a deep commitment to keep you amazed for years to come. If this all sounds like Greek to you, just know this – your ears will be delighted and the pleasure center of your brain will rejoice.
5.25'' Passive-Midrange Woofer
The 533-VAC center channel speaker employs one passive driver, or radiator. This radiator greatly improves the bass of your speaker by exploiting energy from the rear of the active driver that would otherwise be wasted. Because there's only one active woofer, sound lobing is greatly reduced, providing you with a much broader sonic sweet spot. Finally, this design also allows for a smaller, easier-to-place center channel speaker – providing versatility and convenience in your home theater.
Vertical Array Design
We engineered our vertical array center to provide flawless center channel performance no matter where you're sitting in the room. Our vertical array design makes every seat in the house perfect, so every member of your family can enjoy the crisp, clear dialog and sound without having to rock-paper-scissors over who’s sitting in the center of the couch.
HD-X3™ Impedance Leveling Crossover Technology
Aperion's patent-pending HD-X3™ Crossover Technology levels the impedance load across the entire frequency range, creating a remarkably flat frequency response and eliminating the detrimental effects of resistance introduced by long runs of speaker wire. In English, this means that no matter if you have a traditional home theater or your entire house is wired for sound, the performance will always be fantastic without spending a king’s ransom on speaker wire.
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 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. No matter if 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 drivers from curious fingers.
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 533-VAC speakers come with dual ¼" 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.
