PARADIGM DRIVERS

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.
