I'm going to be looking into room treatment.

Has anyone tried these Aperture panels? They are described as an absorber, a diffusor, and a resonator, all in one.

I have an unusual space: 15 wide x 60' long. Glass at either end, 1/3rd wall glass on one of the 60' walls.
I'm planning to use some Vescom acoustic translucent curtain fabric over the at either end (so as not to eliminate
natural light) and to also to put another layer of the fabric at the 45' depth of the space. Translucent, acoustic curtain fabrics

The 60' swath of glass on one wall is covered with double cellular fabric blinds.
The other 60' wall is mostly sheetrock and has a slight curvature.

My listening area is in the first 45' and is variable-- I move around a lot-- from near field to all over the space.

Anyway, I thought I might try these panels: two behind speakers, two on the walls at the first side reflections, and two hanging in front of the Vescom fabric at 45'.

It's actually a pretty exciting space to fill with sound-- I just need to tame it a bit.
 
Go for it
They really do the 3 things
I already installed like 30 of them and all with super positive results
 
I'm curious about the Aperture's blending of "diffusion, absorption and resonance" into a single panel. Is this a unique design, never used in acoustic treatments before this product? It seems to be marketed to audiophiles who don't want to inundate their listening spaces with separate bulky bass traps, assorbers and diffusers. Which is a great idea, depending on how well they work.

I'm wondering if there are compromises involved in this 3 in 1 panel? They sound promising...
 
I bought 5 Aperture panels. I finally started "playing" with them today. I temporarily placed 4 on the wall behind the speakers (2 behind each speaker) - still playing with placement. So far I'm more than pleased. Will be listening and moving them around a bit to find the right location before I install them.

Quality is is very good. Fit and finish is first class.
 
As long as one understands they do nothing in the bass, one can then decide whether what they do is worth the entry price.
 
Thanks Joe, don't know how I missed this place for so long. I like the vibe.
 
Old thread, but anyone had any recent experience with these panels or their new stands?

We installed some at my clients. Made a nice improvement tightening the center image.

Thanks for the feedback.

Two 2'x 2' Stillpoint Apertures retail for $1498.

$900. buys four 4'x2' Vicoustic Wavewood 120 panels, which would allow me to put one in the middle behind my speakers, two at the first reflection points and one on the wall behind my listening position.

Just wondering which option will give me more bang for the buck.

Gotta say, the stillpoints. 4 x 2 isn't enough for wave wood.

I recently borrowed six of the Aperture panels from my dealer and invited some mates over for a listening and evaluation session.

We all agreed that the "best bang for your buck" was two panels placed at the first reflection points on either side of the room.

Next best position was behind the listener and the least effective was behind the speakers or in the centre position, behind the speakers.

To be fair, there was little difference in solidifying the centre image by swapping out my existing Acustica Applicata DADD's which do a very good job of room tuning!

ah wondered what they were . they do look rather good . nice to see the mummy speakers in post 14 or at least i think thats what they are . correct me if i am wrong
 
A very effective 3 way, (bass control, diffusor & absorber) acoustic panel worth checking out is the "Curve" by "Acoustic Geometry".
Very well made and reasonably priced. Comes in many fabric choices to match your decor. Has wall cleats for mounting or stands are available. Well thought out product that delivers the goods.
