Have the original Apertures in my music room. Didn’t know there was a revision to a II series - at least not on their website.

Re: Stillpoints Aperture II Acoustical panels
Bruce is a great sales guy... thats all. Again, they do not trap from a larger area, only the internal volume is a bit larger. There is a foam perimeter just beneath the cloth fabric. That foam panel opening is the same on the old and new.

Recently, Stillpoints announced the Aperture II ($800 each), which, among other things, moves the screen structure forward so that it’s flush with the surrounding wooden frame. They claim that this makes it possible for the Aperture II to capture more air movement.Myles B. Astor, Senior Editor, PF, www.positive-feedback.com

Re: Stillpoints Aperture II Acoustical panels
