They're precision-cut and secured to the speaker with magnets. To remove the grille, gently pinch the grille cloth at the top with your fingers and pull it outward to take it off easily.

In using natural, real wood veneers, there may be some inconsistencies between wood panels. This is part of the natural beauty of real wood. All of our cabinets are finished in batches to ensure that pairs of speakers are made from the same wood veneer panels. If you're not satisfied with the finish, we will gladly exchange so that you are satisfied. Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

Since the Novus series features a matte black or pure white finish, the cabinets can be cleaned by simply wiping them with the microfiber polishing cloth included in the packaging. Should that not do, reach for some Pledge Polish spray.

The Grandis series can certainly be used for home theater, but given their higher cost, they are better suited for Hi-Fi applications. Moreover, Aperion offers many other home theater options, including the Novus, Verus, and Theatrus series.

The Grandis line gets better and better the more power you throw at them! Our Energy E2H is an excellent match and provides plenty of power

The Grandis speakers are some of the few Aperion speakers that are not set up to mount on the wall. We feel their sound is best on solid speaker stands, like the Aperion Speaker Stand!

Each Aperion speaker includes a high quallity microfiber polish cloth in the package, which is perfect to keep your speakers shiny and new! Pledge or Old English furniture polish is great on the cabinets and gloss opal finish. Take caution to avoid spraying the drivers.

Yes, the Theatrus T80/T65 monitor speakers can be wall-mounted! Included in the box is our Stealth Mount wall-mount bracket for wall installation. Due to the weight of the T80, we recommend only using our Stealth Mount or another mount with 60+lb of carrying capacity.

Plus, they can easily be placed on speaker stands, giving you flexible setup possibilities whether you’re optimizing your home theater or studio space.

The Theatrus series is renowned for four key strengths: high sound pressure levels, exceptional power handling, outstanding dynamic performance, and low distortion. It delivers impactful, cinema-grade sound while reproducing audio details with clarity and nuance. Despite the high sound pressure levels, the high frequencies remain smooth and never harsh.

The Theatrus Speaker adapts to various arrangements and positions, with adjustments for Baffle-Wall (In-Wall) or Free-Field (On-Wall) configurations. Along with the bass adjustment, we also included a high-frequency adjustment to compensate for the high frequency when the speaker is placed behind a projection screen.

Since Theatrus is designed specifically for commercial cinemas, private home theaters, or recording studios, it is currently available in only one finish: Stealth Black.

The Theatrus is engineered for both cinema-quality audio and studio accuracy. They deliver crisp highs, detailed mids, and deep bass that immerses you in movies, while offering the clarity and balanced sound professionals need for mixing and monitoring.

So, whether you’re a movie buff or a creative pro, they excel in both settings.

The Theatrus speakers are passive speakers that are designed to work seamlessly with most home theater receivers, power amplifiers and studio amplifiers. Our oversized 5-way gold plated binding posts work with banana plugs, spades, pins or even bare wire. We recommend terminated 12AWG speaker wire.

These speakers feature a robust, acoustically optimized enclosure that minimizes vibrations and resonance, ensuring pure, distortion-free sound.

And every component is built to last, offering long-term durability even in demanding home or professional environments.

Since the Theatrus speaker has a matte black finish, the cabinets can be cleaned by simply wiping them down with the included microfiber polishing cloth, or by using a dusting wand.

If you are a true audiophile, you need this.
If you are dissatisfied with the sound performance of your current speakers, you need this.
If you are older and experiencing hearing loss that prevents you from hearing enough high-frequency detail, you need this.
If your speakers lack high-frequency output—such as full-range drivers or vintage Hi-Fi speakers—you need this.
If you want to hear more sonic detail and experience a wider soundstage, you need this.
If the front three channels of your home theater system are underperforming, you need this.

A Super Tweeter is an additional high-frequency speaker designed to complement your main speakers by reproducing ultra-high frequencies that standard tweeters may miss. The Aperion Super Tweeter Speaker enhances clarity, detail, and airiness in your music, resulting in a wider and more vibrant soundstage for a truly immersive listening experience.

It is well known that the human hearing range is 20 Hz to 20 kHz; in reality, many older adults cannot even hear frequencies above 15 kHz. Since the human ear cannot perceive frequencies exceeding 20 kHz, why is there a need for "super-tweeters" that reach 40 kHz? Consequently, many people online claim that such sounds are audible only to cats and dogs.

This is a common misconception. When we design super-tweeters capable of reaching 40 kHz, the goal is not to enable you to hear 40 kHz itself, but rather to enhance the quality of the sound within the audible range (up to 20 kHz).

To take a simple example, suppose there are two tweeters:
A: Frequency response limit of 20 kHz
B: Frequency response limit of 40 kHz
If both are made to reproduce a 15 kHz sound:

A is already approaching its frequency response limit:
- The diaphragm begins to exhibit breakup (modal vibration)
- Phase distortion increases
- Distortion levels rise

B is operating at only half its capacity, so:
- Its sound is more linear
- Distortion is lower
- Transient response is better

It is akin to comparing two cars: one with an engine capable of 200 km/h and another of 400 km/h. When both are driven at 100 km/h, the latter operates with noticeably greater ease and composure.

Thus, the true value of the Aperion Audio super tweeter lies in:
✅ A higher diaphragm breakup point
✅ A more linear operating range
✅ Lower distortion
✅ Faster transient response
✅ Superior phase characteristics
✅ Greater dynamic headroom

In other words:
The pursuit of a 40 kHz range in Aperion super tweeters is not about extending the upper limit of human hearing; rather, it is about ensuring that music reproduction within the 20 kHz range sounds more authentic, natural, and effortless.

First, make your selection based on the sensitivity of your existing speakers:

PST Planar Ribbon Super Tweeter: 85-94 dB

RST Aluminum Ribbon SuperTweeter: 85-96 dB

DST AMT Dual Firing Super Tweeter: 85-96 dB

HST AMT Dual Firing Super Tweeter: 98-103 dB

Secondly, make your choice based on your budget and personal preferences.

The Super Tweeter is connected directly to the binding posts of your main speakers, not to the amplifier. Simply use speaker wire to connect the Super Tweeter in parallel with your main speaker cables. The 5-way binding posts accept bare wire, banana plugs, or spade/ring connectors for easy installation. We found our Premium 4N OCC Silver Audio Cable works best.

Yes, the Aperion Super Tweeter features 5 adjustable crossover points (8, 10, 12, 14, or 16 kHz) and an 'OFF' setting to blend seamlessly with your speakers.

Additionally, the treble adjust knob lets you reduce output up to -5 dB, allowing you to fine-tune the high-frequency response for your room, speakers, and preferences.

1) Does it power on?

No? - Check the fuse and/or power source.
Yes - Check sub vol/input settings. Go to next.

2) Unplug the sub cable from the receiver and tap the end with your thumb. Hear sound?Yes - Check the connection on the receiver. This shows signal is passing through the cable and the sub is responding.
No - Run sound directly into the sub from a phone or CD player. You should be able to clearly hear sound.

3) Still no sound?

The next step is to test the driver. You will need to remove the driver (speaker) from the cabinet and hold the speaker cables from the front L or R channel directly to the driver contacts. This will tell you if the driver is functioning or not. You can contact us for instructions if you need assistance with this.

4) Sound while holding speaker cables directly to driver contacts?

Yes - The issue is in the amp. Contact us and we'll check for replacement parts. If none are available, you can take it to a A/V repair shop to see if they can locate the issue and repair it.
No - You have a bad driver. Check with us to see if we have a replacement available.

A humming subwoofer typically has to do with a ground loop problem within your system. In order to stop the ground loop try these three tips:

Solution #1: Reverse the polarity of the sub with a three-to-two prong adapter. You can pick up a 3-2 prong adapter at any hardware/electrical store for about .50 cents. To reverse the polarity of your sub, plug the sub's AC cord (the 3 prong end) into the 3-2 adapter. Then plug the two-pronged end of the adapter into the wall (possibly upside down), thereby reversing the polarity.

Solution #2: Make sure your RF system (cable or antenna) is grounded properly. Unplug the cable television or RF antenna from anywhere in your audio system. Check to see if the hum goes away. If it does, contact your cable company and have them investigate and properly ground the system, preferably before it enters the house.

Solution #3. Check the sub cable. Try replacing the cable. Often, a defective cable will cause a hum. Or shorten the sub cable length. The receiver may need to be 6ft or closer to the subwoofer to reduce radio interference. If you have any questions please contact us.

Powered subwoofers have some controls you'll want to set properly. Take a seat in the viewing area and employ a helper to do the grunt work.

1. Start with the "crossover frequency." Set it to 80 Hz or less. Settings above 100 Hz and your ear will be able to locate the subwoofer (and you don't want that).

2. If there is a "phase reversing switch," listen for the setting that creates the best bass for your seating area. Sometimes there is no noticeable difference. If the subwoofers are in the same plane as the front speakers, the "normal" or "0 degrees" position is usually right.

3. Adjust the volume until the bass level "sounds just right" -- not too boomy, not too loud. Once you've hit your ideal settings, live with them for a week or so. After that, if you're still happy, you'll probably never have to touch the settings again.

Insert a paperclip into the hole in the back of the Allaire remote and push firmly to disengage the battery assembly which is mounted to the remote’s circuit board. Please note that the circuit board is held in place magnetically.

Replace the battery with a 3V Lithium CR2032 battery by inserting the battery writing (positive) side up.

**Take care when removing and reinserting the circuit board to the remote as the transmitter is located on the top edge. Ensure that the transmitter is properly aligned with the opening at the top of the remote and gently move the circuit board back into place.

Ensure that the speakers have been powered on by pressing the power button.

Replace the remote battery by following the instructions outlined above.

Verify that the speakers are in Bluetooth mode by pressing the SRC button on the remote until the LED on the speaker is blue.

Ensure that the device is connected to “Aperion Allaire BT” in your Bluetooth settings.

Ensure that the speakers are not muted by hitting the mute button on the remote.

Check that the volume on your device is not muted or too low.

Press the PAIR button on the remote first and then try reconnecting to “Aperion Allaire BT.”

Try turning Bluetooth off and then back on again in your device.

Reboot the Allaire speakers by unplugging them from the wall for 10 seconds and plug them back in.

Verify that the speakers are in optical mode by pressing the SRC button on the remote until the LED is red.

Ensure that the output on the connected device has been set to PCM.

Remove the plastic cover from each tip of the optical cable.

Once you’ve plugged in the power cord, start by pressing the hard power switch located at the back. You’ll see the front LED indicator light up in red. Next, press the soft power switch on the front to turn on the device; the LED will turn white.

To switch to standby mode, press the soft-start button on the front panel; the LED indicator will turn red, indicating that the unit has entered standby mode. (Note: The power amplifier does not automatically enter standby mode.)

To keep the unit in standby mode, make sure not to switch off the hard power switch located on the rear panel. However, if you're planning to leave for a while and need to fully power down the amplifier, simply press this switch to turn the entire unit off.

Typically, a 10A fuse is used for 220V operation, while a 20A fuse is used for 110V. To accommodate both scenarios, Energy actually uses a 15A fuse. A 15A fuse is safe to use at both voltage levels.

Of course, you can also choose to use a 10A or 20A fuse for the corresponding voltage range; that is perfectly fine.

It’s not just about the outlet; it also depends on the gauge of the entire power-supply wiring. If the wires are too thin, what is the point of having a high-capacity outlet? The supply wiring needs to be at least 13 AWG. Only after the wiring meets this standard does it make sense to install a 20-amp outlet.

That’s not possible; they have already been bridged and cannot be bridged again.

1. The primary reason is severe distortion of the power grid waveform (typically caused by ripple from electric motors, high-power air conditioners, induction cooktops, and similar equipment); such noise can be effectively filtered out with a power conditioner.

2. Voltage levels are abnormally high. Although the standard voltage in the United States is typically 115V, "abnormally high" generally refers to levels exceeding 140V—or potentially even higher.

First check the volume level on the receiver. Often times on newer model receivers, the volume level must be up seemingly quite high to hear anything. If you have an Onkyo receiver, turn up the volume to at least 40, or even up to 80. If there's still no sound at all, go through the receiver's test tones. Check your receiver's owner's manual for information on this.

If you're getting test tones, then you must check the source (DVD, CD, etc) connections. Make sure the receiver is set to receive the proper digital or analog connection for that respective source (most of the time the DVD is problematic). For example, on most Onkyo receivers, when you select "DVD", the receiver tries to pick the digital audio signal from Coax 1 input (the default factory setting). If you're using Opt 1, then you must tell the receiver that. Go into the set-up menu, select input set-up, and select the proper input for DVD.

Double check the digital cable and ensure that it is connected properly and securely. With optical cables there is a small protective cap that many don't realize comes off.

If you're not getting test tones, then you may have a faulty receiver or the speakers may not be connected properly. Check the speaker wire connections and make sure that there is no bare speaker wire touching things it shouldn't (positive wire touching negative wire). If you still have trouble, please contact us so that we may assist you, or contact the re-seller for your receiver.

The ideal placement of your left and right surrounds in a 5.1 configuration is:

1. Along the side walls
2. About 1 - 3 foot behind the listening position
3. About 3.5 - 6 feet above the floor (somewhere between ear level and 3 feet above ear level)
4. Symmetrically placed (equidistant), in relation to the listener(s)

If this isn’t a possibility, you want to try and re-create that scenario as best you can. Ideally you want the tweeter of each surround speaker to be hitting just behind and above the listening position. There are a few ways to accomplish this

1. Placement - Purchase wall mounts that allow you to tilt and aim the surround speakers toward the ideal position. If you don’t have sidewalls, you can place the speakers behind you, via the back wall or ceiling. Wall or ceiling mounts can help you position them so that they "feel" like the sound is coming from the ideal location. Most importantly, you’re looking for symmetry in your placement. If you can’t wall or ceiling mount, then try a pair of speaker stands.

2. Level - Generally you’ll want the volume of each surround speaker to be the same as the rest of your speakers. Use an SPL meter (or just your own ear) and your receiver settings to adjust the level of each speaker to make sure they’re all at the same volume.

3. Distance - Make sure to go through your receiver’s speaker distance settings. If you don’t enter the correct distance of each speaker (in relation to the listener) into your receiver, you’ll get an unbalanced sound.

4. Speaker type - If you’re forced to be very close to the surround speaker, i.e. if the speaker is mounted to the back wall and your couch is up against the same back wall), you''ll probably be better off with an in-wall or in-ceiling speaker. Or for a more dispersed, natural sound, try a dipole-bipole speaker.

In some cases you may need to try a different type of surround speaker. Every ear is different so we encourage you to experiment until it sounds right to you.

There are a number of things that can affect the sound. We’ll go down the short list here, and if this doesn't work, then please contact us so we can help

Break-In - Usually the speakers sound great right out of the box, but once they’ve been played for 50 - 100 hours (doesn’t matter what kind of music you use) they will start to sound more natural and balanced.This is known as “break-in” and is completely normal.

Your Room – It’s best if your room is no smaller than 200 square feet. For smaller rooms place your viewing area (that’s where your TV goes) along a short wall. For larger rooms either a short or a long wall work equally well. Too many naked surfaces in your room will reflect and distort the sound. Carpeting, drapery, upholstered furniture and that favorite lounge chair all work together to enhance acoustics. Oddly enough, a bookcase located behind the seating area works exceptionally well as a bass trap, to reduce room reflections and to help smooth out the high and mid range signals. A bass trap is something that reduces room resonances that can cause your bass to be too boomy.

Speaker placement – Incorrectly placed speakers can make your system sound unbalanced, thin, and just plain bad. Let’s start with your three front speakers. Your left, right, and center. How they’re positioned in relation to each other can dramatically affect sound. All three should be positioned at approximately ear level and at equal distance from the seating area. If you have a home theater speaker system, for every 10 feet of distance your seating area is from the TV, add seven feet of spacing between your left and right speakers. For example, if your viewing area is 20 feet from your TV, your left and right speakers should be spaced 14 feet apart. For music only systems, an approximate spacing of ten feet between your left and right speakers is ideal. Center channel speakers work best if they are on top of the TV. If your center speaker is the common style that has two woofers on either side of a tweeter, it’s important to aim the speaker directly at the seating area. Nearby walls can dramatically affect a speaker’s performance. You should follow the manufacturer’s recommendations as to speaker positioning. If this information isn’t available, a good rule-of-thumb is to keep the speakers at least three feet from the sidewalls, one foot from the back wall and flush or in front of the entertainment center furniture. Next are your surround sound speakers. Positioning is crucial in order to enjoy the ambient, non-localized sound that home theater is known for. Keep in mind there are two kinds of designs and several surround formats all with varying numbers of speakers. Finally, all side and rear surround speakers work best for home theater if they’re somewhere between ear level and two to three feet above your head.

Most receivers these days go from negative infinity (that little sideways eight) all the way up to 100. It's very common for receivers to be above 50 for normal listening level. So just crank it up until it sounds right to you - but do be careful about getting it too loud. We don't want you to damage those ears.
