HIGH FREQUENCY DRIVERS
High-frequency
drive units provide outstanding extended frequency response, while Controlled
Waveguide™ faceplates and grilles ensure exceptionally uniform high-frequency
response throughout a wide listening window.
Dome materials
vary from silk to the ultimate-in-performance pure beryllium domes employed in
our majestic Signature Series tweeters. Whatever the material used in the dome
however, the high-frequency performance of Paradigm tweeters is recognized by
its hallmark integrity of the upper harmonics, uncanny accuracy and
articulation … all a decided advantage in this era of extended bandwidth.
High-temperature
voice coils, aluminum formers, ferro-fluid cooling and oversized magnets ensure
high thermal capacity and power handling and permit the use of lower crossover
points for superior off-axis response, lower distortion and longer service
life.
BASS / MID RANGE DRIVERS
Bass/midrange
drive units deliver remarkably coloration-free response. High-pressure die-cast
aluminum chassis, boasting our AVS Airflow Ventilation System cooling, boost
power handling and ensure ultra-low distortion and exceptional reliability. The
aluminum also prevents ringing and flexing while serving double duty as an
effective heat sink.
Advanced cone
materials ensure smooth, uniform response. Nomex® spiders and surrounds in a
number of highly effective base materials foster linear excursion, minimizing
compliance-induced distortion. High-hysteresis butyl suspensions eliminate
"edge-hole" distortion. High-temperature wire on multi-layer voice
coils and Apical™ or Kapton® formers ensure sonic accuracy and improve
long-term reliability. Metallized high-integrity dust caps are shaped to
promote wide, uniform off-axis dispersion. FEA-optimized, magnetic pole pieces
and metal top plates support extended cone excursion.
Focused-field
magnetic assemblies ensure low distortion and consistent frequency response,
even at high output levels.
