Released in June 2023, this isn't just another subwoofer accessory – it's a game-changer in the pursuit of audio perfection. If you're serious about your sound, you'll want to pay attention to what this piece of kit can do for your system.

First Impressions and Build Quality

IsoAcoustics Aperta SUB XL Side View

The moment you lay eyes on the Aperta SUB XL, its premium construction is evident. The sculpted aluminium frame speaks volumes about IsoAcoustics' commitment to both form and function. With dimensions of 14.5" x 16" x 1.5" (368mm x 406mm x 37mm), it's purposefully designed to accommodate even the most substantial subwoofers, supporting up to an impressive 160lbs (72.6kg).

Technical Excellence

The patented IsoAcoustics isolation technology is where this stand truly shines. Through sophisticated decoupling mechanics, it effectively:

  • Prevents unwanted energy transfer to supporting surfaces
  • Reduces internal reflections that cause muddy bass
  • Enhances overall bass definition and clarity
  • Minimises room rattle and unwanted vibrations

Performance Benefits

In practical applications, the Aperta SUB XL delivers remarkable improvements:

Bass Definition

The stand's ability to clean up low-frequency response is remarkable. Bass notes become more articulate and defined, allowing you to hear the texture and detail in low-end frequencies that might have previously been masked.

Room Acoustics

By preventing energy transfer to the floor, the Aperta SUB XL significantly reduces room-related acoustic issues. This is particularly beneficial for apartment dwellers or those with shared walls. (Give our team a call if you'd like to discuss your specific room setup.)

Versatility

Whether you're running a front-firing or side-firing subwoofer, the Aperta SUB XL's design ensures compatibility without interfering with existing subwoofer feet. The included carpet discs provide additional stability on soft surfaces.
