Product Features

Aperion Audio Verus V5B Bookshelf Speaker Gloss Black Pair

Amazing Sound and Elegance

With its refined elegance and stately design aesthetic, the Verus V5B has garnered widespread acclaim. Inheriting the essence of the Verus III speaker driver array, the V5B delivers extraordinary audio performance—a standard of excellence that rivals competing models priced at twice its cost.

V5B 2-Way Bookshelf Design

Two Way Bookshelf Design

The Verus III Grand V5B features an exceptional two-way stand-mount design that offers distinct advantages in audio reproduction. It is meticulously equipped with Aperion’s patented 1.1” ASR tweeter, capable of precisely reproducing high-frequency details; and one 5.25” long-throw Kevlar woofer, providing a powerful and impactful low-frequency presence.

V5B Robust Construction

Robust Construction

The V5B features a cabinet constructed from robust, high-density fiberboard (HDF). In terms of aesthetics, the front baffle is finished with a Sandblasting matte spray-painting process that exudes a premium tactile quality; the remainder of the cabinet is finished in either an elegant black piano lacquer or a warm cherry-wood veneer.

Verus III Advanced 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 midrange drivers have also resulted in a cleaner, more open sound in the transition regions. The Verus III employs superior customized components, which include high quality thin film capacitors to provide minimum dielectric loss, customized Aperion internal wiring, and we even went as far as customizing the PCB board with an Aperion red color to represent our love of great sounding audio!

V8B&V5B Treble Mod Adjustments

Treble Mod Adjustments

The Verus V5B Bookshelf Speaker is designed with a frequency adjustment that attenuates the high frequency output by -3dB, allowing you to tone down the high frequency output for "live" rooms. This simple treble jumper modification significantly increases the versatility of the Verus V8B for various room styles. This subtle yet impactful adjustments allow the V8B to perform at its highest potential in different configurations.

Aperion V8B Bookshelf Speaker Gloss Cherry Tweeter

Aperion Patented 1.1" ASR Tweeter

Verus Mid-bass driver

5.25" Kevlar Woofer With Aluminum Phase Plug

All woofers in the Verus family employ Kevlar cones. This exceptionally rigid Kevlar material allows for a warm, clean and dynamic response. This is driven by a high-performance ferrite magnet structure with a vented pole piece to reduce heat build-up and larger T-toke for increased excursion to increase bass response. Between the upgraded driver performance, and the new larger bent port tube design, we were able to crank that much more bass through this compact design, allowing your sound stage to feel more spacious and full than ever before.

Patented 1.1" ASR Tweeter

Our design objectives required a tweeter that permits a low crossover frequency in order to unburden the midrange cones above 2.6 kHz, where they tend to beam. To address this conundrum, we went to the drawing board with the goal of developing a tweeter with a diaphragm that resists “rocking” near its resonant frequency. By pinning the diaphragm’s center in a plane above the voice coil, it became “axially stabilized,” which minimized unwanted distortion. The silk dome is coated in a specially developed damping compound to ensure a smooth and accurate response with controlled resonance. A refined "wishbone" waveguide has resulted in better output, with more uniform frequency response and dispersion across its operating range. The ferrofluid cooled voice-coil is driven by a high-energy ferrite magnet motor.

5.25" Kevlar Woofer With Aluminum Phase Plug

All woofers in the Verus family employ Kevlar cones. This exceptionally rigid Kevlar material allows for a warm, clean and dynamic response. This is driven by a high-performance ferrite magnet structure with a vented pole piece to reduce heat build-up and larger T-toke for increased excursion to increase bass response. Between the upgraded driver performance, and the new larger bent port tube design, we were able to crank that much more bass through this compact design, allowing your sound stage to feel more spacious and full than ever before.


Furniture-Grade Finish

The slim curves of the Verus line’s first-rate cabinetry make us think "supermodel"—but the primo acoustic qualities means she'd have to sound as good as she looks. The finishing touch for every Verus speaker is a high-gloss cherry-wood veneer or piano-black lacquer that’s so right for every décor, your coffee table will be jealous.

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 midrange drivers have also resulted in a cleaner, more open sound in the transition regions. The Verus III employs superior customized components, which include high quality thin film capacitors to provide minimum dielectric loss, customized Aperion internal wiring with spade connectors to make upgrading a breeze, and we even went as far as customizing the PCB board with an Aperion red color to represent our love of great sounding audio!

Treble Mod

The Treble Mod feature allows users to reduce the treble response by 3 dB. This serves as a room correction feature for people with “live” rooms that have a large amount of reflective surfaces.

Rear Port Tube

A rear reflex port on the V5B bookshelf speakers reduces air-leak noise with increased bass performance.

5-way gold-plated binding posts

Bi-ampable is the techie way of saying you can connect one amplifier to the woofer and the other to the tweeter. Separating the low- and high-frequency wiring helps eliminate interaction, isolate power and reduce distortion.

Custom Lightweight Magnetic Grilles

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

Note: To remove the grille, gently pinch the grille cloth at the top with your fingers and pull it outward to take it off easily.

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