Apertura Swing Bookshelf Speakers

Thanks to our long and distinguished expertise in high end speakers, designing an elegant, performing and compact speaker was a challenge we needed to meet.

SENSA and SWING share the same sober design for which the load volume remains optimum.

SWING is a versatile speaker : stand mounted as a classical use, simply laid on a piece of furniture or integrated in a bookcase to comply with space constraints.

DRIVE UNITS
A 16cm mid/woofer with an « isotactic matrix », cone like in Armonia, Edena and their big sisters. This material made of woven polypropylene strips, combines stiffness, lightness and good damping properties.
The long moving coil allows a long linear excursion. Which is quite amazing for a speaker of this size.
This drive unit comes also with an original suspension, featuring radial stiffeners that lower the interferences.
High frequencies are reproduced by a tweeter, member of the famous “Ring Radiator” family.
In addition to its unusual profile, it has a bullet shape waveguide and a rear damping chamber. The result is an extended frequency response, both at the top end (to above 40kHz), and at the bottom end to allow easier coupling with the bass/mid range drive unit.

CROSSOVER
High frequencies are reproduced by a tweeter, member of the famous “Ring Radiator” family.
In addition to its unusual profile, it has a bullet shape waveguide and a rear damping chamber. The result is an extended frequency response, both at the top end (to above 40kHz), and at the bottom end to allow easier coupling with the bass/mid range drive unit.
Proprietary « DRIM » structure with a triple attenuation slopes
This technology cancels intermodulation on each sections of the crossover, which result in unsurpassed clarity and resolution
Same high level component qualities as in Sensa
Each set of drive units (tweeter and mid/woofer) are individually measured and crossover values adjusted according to these measurements sets.
Hand wiring on a 140 µm copper printed circuit board.
Optimized crossover structure to avoid magnetic interference between components

ENCLOSURE
The main goal, with this new cabinet design, was to limit vibration propagation on the most critical panels (especially on the back panel).
High thickness panels (18mm)
Internal dual cavities framework with one bracing panel to stiffen the structure and create very specific areas where damping materials can be applied
Optimized bass reflex loading allowing reproduction of low frequencies, uncommon for such a size speaker.
Importance is given to damping treatment to cancel any standing waves. We are using 2 different types of dumping materials
3 different standard finishes available :
Satin : cherry
High Gloss : Piano black, White
