INTRODUCTION

Thank you for choosing speakers from Paradigm’s Reference Collection and congratulations! You

are about to hear the difference these state-of-the-art high-end speakers will make in your music

and home theater system.

Your speakers were designed and engineered in our Toronto, Canada facility. They are internationally

recognized for their exceptional state-of-the-art sound. In fact, Paradigm is the only speaker brand in

the world to be rated #1* year after year.

Extensive listener preference tests conducted by the National Research Council (NRC) give our

design engineers a firm understanding of how we hear speakers and clearly establish which design

parameters are most critical to good sound. Using the NRC findings along with measurement-based

analysis done in the anechoic chamber at our Toronto facility and listening tests carried out in

our controlled double-blind listening rooms, Paradigm engineers work to constantly improve our

speakers in three critical areas:

Flat Midrange: Smooth and even with coloration reduced to the lowest level possible.

Smooth Total Energy Response: On and off axis, sound must be fundamentally similar. Dispersion

must be wide and uniform ensuring superior imaging and a wide listening area.

Low Distortion: Lowest levels possible.

In addition, Paradigm concentrates on two other significant performance areas:

Better Bass Response: Tight, extended and well defined.

Higher Power Handling: to improve dynamic contrasts and sonic realism, power compression

must be minimized.

Unyielding attention to all of these areas results in state-of-the-art speakers that are measurably

and audibly superior. Comprehensive R&D, leading-edge design, use of the finest materials and

sophisticated manufacturing and quality control provide vastly superior performance for each

component part at every stage of design. Quite simply, we build better sound and we have the

product awards to prove it.

Your new speakers will provide you with stunning reference quality sound and unparalleled listening

pleasure for many years. Their ultra-thin profile was designed to complement the thinnest flat-panel

television on the market today as well as the ‘even thinner

’

flat panels yet to come.

To achieve all of the exceptional sound they are capable of providing requires care in installation

and operation. Please take the time to read this manual and follow all instructions. If you have

further questions, contact your Authorized Paradigm Reference Dealer or visit the Q&A page in the

Tech Support section of our website at paradigm.com.

Paradigm DOES NOT supply hardware for mounting speakers to the

wall. Hardware shown in this manual is for example only and will vary

depending on the wall type. Always use screws appropriate for wall

type and weight of speakers.

If installing into drywall, install into 1/2˝ (13 mm) or 5/8˝ (16 mm) drywall

only. Screws must be long enough to go through anchor bolts (not supplied)

and firmly into drywall (see inset circle, page 8).

IMPORTANT: ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS FOR SPEAKER STANDS

(INCLUDED WITH SPEAKERS) ARE FOUND IN THE BOX WITH

THE STAND.

IMPORTANT: READ BEFORE WALL-MOUNTING YOUR SPEAKERS.

Wall mount your speakers securely enough that they cannot fall and

cause personal injury or damage to property. Use safety straps where

supplied. Detailed information on attaching the safety straps is included

in the section on Installation later in the manual.
