We are hard-wired to pick up bass rhythms more than other tones, and low bass frequencies allow the listener to feel a deep syncopated connection to their favorite music or movies. The large pulsating driver produces energy and vibrations that travel through solid structures that create issues in the listening space and can often be disturbing to others. Room treatment can be costly and doesn’t mitigate structure borne-noises. Enter the Aperta Sub isolation stand that not only reduces these disturbances, but also delivers better sounding audio.
Expanding on the success of the Aperta line, IsoAcoustics created the Aperta Sub that effectively manages the energy from the subwoofer resulting in tighter bass response and greater clarity. Decoupling the subwoofer from its supporting surface, the Aperta Sub manages the energy from the subwoofer and prevents the physical transfer of energy through the supporting structure.
The design of the Aperta Sub consists of top and bottom isolators, each connected by a rigid frame that provides a stable base and lifts the subwoofer off the floor. Aperta means ‘open’ in Italian, which describes the stands’ stylized design that creates open space and compliments its surroundings. The patented IsoAcoustics isolators are directional and designed to be aligned with the subwoofers drivers to maintain the energy on-axis.
The Aperta Sub has an innovative shape that provides stability and avoids interference with existing subwoofer feet. It has a low-profile and compact design, measuring 10.5” W x 11.5” D x 1.3” H (265mm x 290mm x 33mm) and is made to be used with front-firing and side-firing subwoofers that weigh up to 80 lbs (36.3kg). The Aperta Sub also includes carpet disks which feature 0.6” (15mm) spikes that anchor into carpeted surfaces for a stronger connection.
IsoAcoustics has been manufacturing and distributing isolation products since January 2012. In a relatively short period of time, IsoAcoustics has grown rapidly and now sells in over 70 countries. Based on patented designs, IsoAcoustics has developed products for professional audio and home project studio, hifi and consumer applications, including large applications for live sound.
This solution was designed for home theater lovers, HiFi enthusiasts, and “bass junkies of all ages,” IsoAcoustics states. The IsoAcoustics Aperta Sub is now available and will retail for $149.99 USD.
