Theatrus T80WL In-Wall LCR Speaker

The Theatrus T80WL Speaker is a 3-Way LCR In-Wall Speaker featuring an array of five (5) drivers that fuse into a superforce of sound quality, designed for home theater, custom installation, professional music studios, and film studios. It's not all about sound, though; the speaker has a clean and smooth appearance.

The Aperion crafted AMT Ribbon Tweeter and Dual 2-inch Soft-Dome Mid-Range Drivers are housed in a custom-designed aluminum faceplate. Enhanced low end is produced by Dual 8" Woofers, which were crafted from German Propex Fabrics Curv material.

Authentic Cinema Sound At Home

When Aperion Audio began developing the Theatrus series in 2021, we focused on a key challenge: how to create thinner, more compact speakers while maintaining excellent sound quality. Our goal was to make the Theatrus speakers versatile for various applications and to enhance their ability to blend seamlessly into different environments. Our primary objective was to engineer slimmer speakers capable of delivering exceptional sound quality. Additionally, we emphasized the importance of aesthetic appeal, ensuring that the Theatrus T80WL In-Wall Speaker could effectively blend into their surroundings for improved concealment.

The decoration style of private custom home theaters is increasingly focused on creating an unobtrusive and streamlined environment. Designers prioritize the concealment of external devices, such as speakers, projectors, and wiring, to achieve a clean and sophisticated aesthetic. This trend enhances the home theater's visual appeal and maximizes usable space, contributing to a more immersive viewing experience. By integrating technology seamlessly into the design, homeowners can enjoy a captivating atmosphere without the distraction of bulky equipment. This approach emphasizes simplicity, elegance, and functionality in home theater spaces.

Since the launch of the Theatrus T80WL In-Wall Speaker model, these speakers can blend into your home theater, making them almost invisible. They provide fantastic movie sound without any distractions. This long, rectangular cabinet accommodates placement between standard 16" stud spacing. 

Product Features

Aperion Theatrus Speaker HiFi Sound Quality

HiFi Level Sound Quality

The Theatrus Speaker is known for four key strengths: high sound pressure levels, excellent power handling, remarkable dynamics, and low distortion. It delivers both powerful cinematic impacts and subtle sonic details with clarity. The T80WL features two independent soft-dome midrange drivers and is finely tuned for high-frequency sensitivity, delivering a transparent, rich sound without harshness. This results in a natural listening experience, making dialogue and music feel authentic and emotionally engaging.

A Powerful Lineup

The Theatrus series is an ideal choice for custom-installed home theaters, offering a robust lineup that balances acoustic performance, aesthetic design, and spatial adaptability. These products are highly acclaimed in the U.S. and globally recognized for their exceptional quality, delivering a superior cinematic experience.

Aperion Audio Theatrus T80WL & T65WL 3-Way Design

Three Way Design

The Theatrus T80WL features a superior three-way speaker design, demonstrating significant advantages in audio reproduction. It is meticulously configured with Aperion’s Air Motion Tweeter, boasting exceptional sensitivity and the ability to precisely reproduce high-frequency details; two 2-inch soft-dome midrange drivers, delivering rich, natural midrange performance; and two 8-inch long-throw Curv Cone woofers, providing a powerful, highly impactful low-frequency soundstage.

T80WL & T65WL Sealed slim cabinet design

Sealed slim cabinet design

One of the most important factors in achieving exceptional sound quality is controlling how the loudspeaker's energy is used. A sealed in-wall speaker enclosure prevents sound from dispersing into the wall cavity, where it can create unwanted reflections, resonances, and performance inconsistencies. That is why Theatrus in-wall loudspeakers feature a fully sealed enclosure design. By isolating the driver from the surrounding wall space, they deliver more accurate bass response, greater tonal consistency, and improved clarity, while also minimizing sound leakage into adjacent rooms. The result is a cleaner, more precise, and more immersive listening experience.

T80WL_T65WL_Sound_Adjustment

Robust Construction

The T80WL features a cabinet constructed from robust, high-density fiberboard (HDF). Its interior is meticulously engineered with multiple structural braces to ensure rock-solid stability, effectively eliminating cabinet resonance at its source and enabling a pure, interference-free audio output. The cabinet is finished with a matte black paint that feels premium to the touch. It's especially well-suited to a dark cinema environment because it is non-reflective.

This new material is delightfully lightweight while also being rigid and stiff.

It maintains a high resistance to temperature without absorbing water, and, most importantly for driver unit creation, it possesses a high Young's Modulus along with internal damping.

Theatrus_High-End_Crossover

Advanced Crossover

Time-intensive iterative designing and fine-tuning of the crossover networks have resulted in a smoother, more neutral, and better-balanced frequency response across the whole range. Enhanced phase integration between the tweeter and woofer drivers has also resulted in a cleaner, more open sound in the transition regions.

All of the speakers in our Theatrus series are meticulously crafted with high-quality custom components, including Aperion's premium metallized polypropylene capacitors, copper wire inductors, and precision wire wound resistors.

These components come together to create an audio experience that is accurate, impactful and exhilarating.

In our relentless quest for excellence, we’ve even adorned the PCB in Aperion's signature red, a testament to our unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional sound quality!

Aperion Theatrus Speaker Sound Adjustment

Sound Adjustment

The Theatrus T80WL Speaker adapts to various arrangements and positions with adjustments for Baffle-Wall (In-Wall) or Free-Field (On-Wall). Along with the bass adjustment, we also included a high frequency adjustment to compensate the high frequency when the speaker is placed behind a projection screen.

How to adjust the sound

Theatrus_Aluminum_Terminal_Plate

Sound Adjustment Jumper

On the aluminum backplate housing the crossover controls on the rear of the T80WL, there are two jumper plugs: one for adjusting the low-frequency response and the other for adjusting the high-frequency response.

Theatrus_High_Frequency_Adjustment

High Frequency Adjustment

If the T80WL needs to be positioned behind a projection screen—which attenuates high frequencies—you can insert the high-frequency adjustment jumper into the "Acoustic Screen" position to boost high-frequency sensitivity to compensate for the attenuation.

Bass Adjustment

If the T80WL is to be mounted into a wall—where the wall acts as a large baffle that influences low-frequency response—the low-frequency adjustment jumper plug can be set to the "Baffle-Wall (In-Wall)" position to flatten the low-frequency response curve.

Rotatable_Logo

Rotatable Easy-Pull Spring-Loaded Logo

Theatrus speakers can be placed On-wall, In-wall, on the ground or on the ceiling, the Theatrus line can effectively cover most of the listening area. The speaker can be arranged vertically or horizontally, dependent on the application.

High-Fidelity Cinema Sound Quality

While listening to music, the high-frequency performance stands out, with a solid low-end density and a wealth of detail in the mid and high frequencies.

The low frequencies are quick and distinct, showcasing impressive layering.

In a multi-channel home theater setup, the audio imaging characteristics of the system are clearly evident. The sound field positioning is exceptionally precise.

Its transient response and control are excellent, allowing for smooth transitions between large and small signals. The sound retraction and release are sharp and crisp, with no dragging, perfectly complementing the original soundtrack and delivering a genuine audio experience to the audience.

The independent dome midrange and AMT tweeter produce vibrant sound, yet they manage to remain soft and avoid being overly harsh. Even from outside the home theater, the sound quality is easily discernible. For example, when listening to opera, the sound demonstrates powerful penetration, effortlessly passing through sound-transparent screens without any strain!

Sound Adjustment

A jumper switch is located on the rear of the loudspeaker and is factory-preset to "Free Field" mode. Perforated projection screens typically attenuate high frequencies, whereas woven screens generally do not; however, this is merely a general guideline, as performance varies significantly across different brands and screen types. Consequently, we have provided an "Acoustic Screen" option that boosts high-frequency output by +5dB to compensate for the high-frequency attenuation caused by acoustically transparent screens or fabrics. You should select either the "Free Field" or "Acoustic Screen" setting based on your actual listening preference.

When a loudspeaker is flush-mounted in a wall, it typically results in approximately 6dB of gain in the 100–200 Hz range. As some listeners may find this tonal balance undesirable, we have included a jumper switch to select the setting that best suits your listening experience.

Custom tuned 1" Thick HDF Cabinet

The Theatrus T80WL in-wall speaker's drivers come packed in a Stealth Black 1" Thick HDF Anti Resonant Cabinet, with a hardened steel front-baffle.

The heat hardened steel is powder coated for effective rust-proofing to last a lifetime.

For a powerful home theater performance, a sturdy cabinet is also essential. Every Theatrus speaker is made from tough and premium 1" HDF and is designed to keep cabinet vibrations at bay.

It’s also built to last, showcasing impressive durability. And let’s not forget, it resists fingerprints and is easy to clean and maintain.

5-Way gold-plated binding posts

The 5-way gold-plated binding posts let you connect your speakers any which way you choose: bare wire, banana plugs, spades, round pins or flat pins. 

Easy to mount and install

The Theatrus T80WL In-Wall speakers feature nifty red dog legs, which make installation a breeze!

Simply locate the 8 (4 on each side) screws that hold the dog legs in-place, get your wiring connected to the speakers, and then grab your trusty torque adjustable drill setting it to a low torque setting, and drill the screw until secure.

Got any questions? Contact Us and we'd love to help!

Rotatable Easy-Pull Spring-Loaded Logo

Depending on the position you choose to install the speaker, you can rotate the logo to the appropriate orientation by simply pulling and twisting the spring loaded logo.

Lightweight magnetic grille

To protect the speaker's drivers from accidents, pets or curious fingers, the entire Theatrus line sports a lightweight magnetic grille which can easily be removed when you want to show off your beautiful speakers to friends and family.

Warranty and Downloads

Five (5) year warranty on cabinets, crossovers, and drivers, with lifetime customer support.
