Technology, by definition, is the practical application of knowledge. When it comes to sound reproduction, no one knows more than Paradigm. When it comes to the practical application of that knowledge we’re committed to doing it better! Better measurements, better materials, better components always result in better sound … and better speakers.

While many speaker companies do not have the resources to design and manufacture their own drive units, Paradigm purpose-designs robust drivers for specific speakers.

 

 

To ensure superb consistency, our crossovers boast hand-selected precision parts.

Our high-power, high-current amplifiers with oversized power supplies and massive heatsinks deliver tremendous (and instantaneous) power output at all times.

Use your knuckles! Rap on our enclosures! As one reviewer asserted, they’re as dead as we claim in our literature! Acoustically inert high-density hardboard reinforced by strategically located radial braces limit unwanted resonances and increase enclosure stiffness. At other times, no bracing is even required on our speakers, even on our most powerful subwoofers as they pound out the deepest, loudest bass imaginable … it’s all in the design!

Custom speakers, often referred to as architectural speakers — designs hidden out of sight in a wall or ceiling (for those who don’t have the space or want a minimalist approach to music and home theater) — are growing in popularity. Again, Paradigm is leading the way in this area. When it comes to in-wall/in-ceiling speakers, there is no substitute for good design build on years of experience producing the very best sounding freestanding designs. More than 25 years of intensive research and design backed by cutting-edge technology, much of it proprietary, lie behind every custom speaker we produce. The result? Sound reproduction that rivals that of the very best freestanding designs.

Precision. Consistency. Long-term reliability. These are inherent characteristics of even the smallest Paradigm component part. Technology and design that represent true innovation in the pursuit of perfection in audio reproduction. Out of this come sonic accuracy and purity, a clean, detailed and transparent reproduction of the original performance, nothing more, nothing less.

It starts with knowledge, it ends with knowing, knowing that you’ve created a better product … an audibly better product. You hear it in every Paradigm speaker produced!

 
All About Sound What is Home Theater?

What is Home Theater?

A home theater is a collection of speakers and audio-video components designed to reproduce the movie-theater experience in the comfort of your own home. Although the size and the quality of the video screen or monitor are very important, a high-quality, properly set up multichannel surround-sound speaker system is what really brings a home theater to life!

Traditionally, music has been recorded in two-channel stereo; however, as the number of artists releasing multichannel music DVD’s and SACD’s continues to grow, multichannel surround-sound recordings are being embraced across the recorded-music industry.

Multichannel sound adds dimension, spaciousness and a heightened sense of realism to the music-listening experience. Recorded and engineered aesthetically, multichannel music will accurately reproduce all of the direct and reflected sound of the original acoustic space. Direct sound provides localization cues that can be realistically placed within the soundstage. Reflected sound completely envelops us in the music’s natural ambience.

Here’s what you will need to enjoy home theater and multichannel music:

A/V Source
DVD-Audio/DVD-Video, SACD, DSS, VCR, CD, etc.

Video
Direct-view/rear-projection TV, or front-projection system.

Amplification
Audio/video receiver or surround-sound preamplifier/processor and amplifiers. For 5.1* multichannel sound either setup must be able to decode Dolby® Digital and/or DTS®. For 7.1* multichannel sound either setup must have, additionally, one or more of the following: THX™ Surround EX™, Select™ or Ultra™; Dolby® Digital EX™ or Pro Logic II; DTS®-ES™ or Neo:6™; or other 7.1-channel modes.

Speakers
What home theater and multichannel music do not require are different types of speakers – one type for home theater, another for listening to music. Choose musically accurate speakers because they have the sonic precision needed to reproduce music as well as movie dialogue and special effects cleanly and naturally. Paradigm® speakers – musically accurate and timbre-matched – are created to satisfy audiophiles for both music and movies by providing The Ultimate in Sound for Music and Home Theater™.

Front Speakers (1)
Reproduce dialog, sound effects and much of the music.

Center Speaker (2)
Reproduces dialog, sound effects and music. It can be placed on top of a TV/display (or behind a perforated screen in a
front-projection system) or below a TV/display.

Surround Speakers (3)
Reproduce ambience and sound effects critical to the full dimension of multichannel music and movies. Surround speakers
with a uniform reverberant soundfield and accurate full-bandwidth bass work best.

Rear Speakers (4)
Contribute dimensional size and realism. Here also speakers with a uniform reverberant soundfield and accurate full-bandwidth
bass work best.

Subwoofer (5)
Handles deep bass, giving dynamic power to low-frequency effects in movies and the bass content in music.

Paradigm Perfect Bass Kit™ digital room correction system (6)
Adjusts for the negative effects of the room on bass quality in a process that takes less than five minutes. Optional accessory.
