The success of Paradigm® Reference since its introduction in 1996 has been nothing short of astonishing! Never before has a range of high-end speakers been So quickly embraced by listeners and critics alike.

Although perhaps not apparent at first, quite often the most demanding aspect of speaker design is daring to change. It would be easy, coddled by the accolades and awards, to become complacent and rest on the laurels of critical favor. In true audiophile fashion, however, our engineers persist, seeing room for improvement and opportunity for refinement in the planning and design of each new generation of Paradigm® Reference speakers.

From the beginning we have taket~~ a cost-no-object approach to speaker design, using only the most sophisticated technologies. Our success can be heard in every sound, every glorious note. Paradigm® Reference speakers are supremely neutral, natural, detailed and clear. Imaging is spacious and open. Localization, unerringly precise. And timbral accuracy, as always, is solid across the model line.

Our new generation of Paradigm® Reference speakers, like those that have come before, are destined to challenge all others in the high-end, with speaker performance that ranks among the finest available at any price!

For music or home theater there is no more sonically coherent choice than Paradigm® Reference. Our speakers transcend an assembly of enclosurèd high-end components to bring you closer to the original sound than you ever thought possible.

Speaker design is a demanding art

The barrier to great sound is unwanted resonances and colorations. Since these deficiencies can most clearly be seen in frequency response measurements, the most important measure of any speaker is its frequency response. Closer to a flat line means fewer resonance/coloration deficiencies and less intrusion on the sound being reproduced. NRC listener preference studies show-and audiophiles universally agree-that flat midrange response, in particular, directly correlates to accurate high-end sound.

Since frequency response measurements are so fundamental, the ability to measure accurately cannot be ignored. While much of the industry still uses low-cost, computerized pseudo-anechoic measurement techniques, these are seldom accurate and often misleading. Paradigm favors the much more accurate and expensive method of measuring in a real anechoic chamber where the speaker's sound can be completely isolated and then captured. Of course, a very sophisticated measuring system is needed to record this sound data with repeatable accuracy.

Paradigm's state-of-the-art R&D facility includes a new 36,000-cubic-foot (more than 1 million litres) fully isolated anechoic chamber and a proprietary measurement system that is the most accurate available. Develàped at Paradigm's Advanced Research Center (PARC) this measurement system allows for in-depth analysis of a speaker. Our proprietary Automated Servo Mechanism allows laser-calibrated measurementsbetween the microphone diaphragm and loudspeaker azimuth accurate to within ±1/10th of a degree! Total Sound Power measurement (discussed later), which involves more than 30 separate measurements and numerous calculations, can be done quickly and with the highest precision. Additional measurement capabilities include MLS; Swept Sine; Stepped Sine; FFT; Impulse Response; Wide-band Spectrum Analysis; Impedance; Phase Response; Total Harmonic Distortion; Individual Harmonic Distortion Analysis (2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc.); and Mechanical/Vibrational Analysis.

All measurements are computer-based using digitally generated signals. A proprietary graphical user interface maintains the extensive measurement database and allows for immediate comparative analysis. Paradigm's cutting-edge anechoic-based measurement system allows for consistently accurate high-resolution measurements through the complete audible range, right down to an unheard of 10 Hz!
