Break-In

Although Paradigm

Reference speakers sound great “out of the carton,”

they will sound even better once they are “broken in.” Allow them to play for

several hours before you begin any critical listening.

High-frequency and midrange drivers use ferro-fluid that can thicken at temper-

atures below 10° C (50° F). Surround material used in the bass/midrange driver

units is made of a compound that may stiffen in colder temperatures. If your

speakers have been transported or stored in the cold, let them warm to room

temperature before use.

Cleaning

Paradigm

Reference speakers have a durable premium finish. To clean, use a

damp soft cloth. Do not use a strong or abrasive cleaner. Avoid getting any

part of the speaker system wet. Do not place wet objects (drinking glasses,

potted plants, etc.) on top of the speakers—if allowed to soak in, even a

small amount of water may permanently damage the speaker enclosure.

Speaker Grilles

Paradigm

Reference speakers are meant to be played with their grilles on.

These grilles are designed to eliminate edge diffraction—the sound reflections

that occur at the outer edges of the front of the enclosure which interfere with

the drivers’ primary sound output. The grille frames fit flush to each driver and

have rounded outer edges to ensure that driver output does not encounter

hard reflective edges.

Floorstanding Spikes

Isolation spikes are an option included with Paradigm

Reference floor-

standing models. We highly recommend installing these spikes as they will

improve the sound of your speakers by isolating them from the floor. The most

convenient time to install spikes is during the unpacking process. Refer to the

“Unpacking Instructions

(pictorial).
