SOMETHING
ABOUT US
Celebrating 35
years of passion
for music.
In 1983, Christian YVON introduced the
first Apertura speaker: “the Reference”.
Since this date, many Apertura models have
been launched, sharing the same
philosophy: the faithfull reproduction of
the sound.
Page 5

Since 35 years we follow our own path, far from received ideas and “esoteric” theories.
OUR ASSETS:
Non usual cabinet shape and laminate construction.
Intensive damping treatments for standing waves
cancellation.
Every single crossover adjusted to match drivers sets
measurements.
“DRIM” proprietary crossover technology.
Exquisite finishes with real high quality wood veneer
and satin/ high-Gloss lacquer.
Apertura speakers are built like no others.
Quality is mandatory for us and attention to details a
concern of every moment.
Apertura speakers are proudly handcrafted in our
900m² facility, closed to Nantes, west coast of France,
from crossover to final product.
