Aperiodic Ports
The Super 8 Alnico XRS are sealed enclosures that incorporate an aperiodic port.
Aperiodic ports are vents filled with dense fiberglass, allowing restricted airflow via the vent. They are also known as ‘lossy’ ports.
Aperiodic vents:
- Allow the Super 8 Alnico XRS to perform at a level sonically larger than their physical size.
- Deliver improved musical purity, because the drivers are transient perfect; Something not achieved by traditional vented enclosures.
- Achieve a flatter impedance curve and lower Q, much like a fully sealed enclosure, making the speaker more amp-friendly.
- Allow the Super 8 Alnico XRS to deliver a smoother frequency response, with better bass definition and reduced Doppler distortion.
