Aperta Sub XL Isolator for Large Subwoofers.
The new IsoAcoustics Aperta Sub XL subwoofer isolator expands on the Aperta Sub and makes the patented IsoAcoustics technology available for subwoofers of up to 160 lbs (72.5 kg). The subtle design does not get in the way of the feet on the subwoofer and remains visually subdued while unleashing the speaker’s full potential. Carpet disks for anchoring the subwoofer into carpeted surfaces are included.
The bigger they are, the lower they go... and the lower they go, the more they are in need of acoustic isolation. Managing the challenging low frequency spectrum, the Aperta Sub XL enables large subwoofers to perform at their best.
The Aperta Sub XL brings the patented IsoAcoustics isolation technology to larger subwoofers of up to 160 lbs / 72.5 kg. Taming the power of such mighty speakers is no easy feat, but IsoAcoustics managed to build on the design of the Aperta Sub for smaller subwoofers to perfectly support heavier models. By carefully managing the distribution of low frequencies, the Aperta Sub XL retains the subwoofer’s power while mitigating unwanted side effects, leading to a clearer, more defined sound.
Like its smaller sibling, the IsoAcoustics Aperta Sub XL decouples the subwoofer from the supporting surface. Its specially designed internal isolators absorb the energy that would otherwise be transferred to the structure underneath and cause disturbances of the sound image. It also keeps that energy from reflecting and being conducted back into the subwoofer, where it could cause smearing. The result, the company says, is a remarkable improvement in terms of clarity and definition – sonic properties that are particularly hard to come by in the low frequency spectrum.
