Paradigm Prestige Series - TECHNOLOGY
TWEETERS
NEW Perforated Phase-Aligning (PPA) Tweeter Lens protects the delicate S-PAL tweeter dome and acts as the Phase Plug, blocking out-of-phase frequencies for smoother, extended high frequencies with incredible detail and higher output.
NEW Finite Element Analysis (FEA) optimized pole piece concentrates the magnets power for maximum efficiency and lightning fast response while lowering the tweeters resonance frequency for clean, accurate sound.
Our tweeter designs are cooled by the original ultra-stable Ferrofluid, made exclusively by Ferrotec. Ferrofluid is a colloidal suspension of magnetic nano particles in a liquid carrier with low volatility and high thermal stability.
MID/BASS DRIVERS
NEW Brushed Anodized Pure-Aluminum woofer and midrange cones combine lightweight stiffness with high consistency for a greater degree of accuracy and smooth, uncolored frequency response. Matching concave dust caps ensuring more uniform dynamic response and a cleaner, modern aesthetic.
Patented Active Ridge Technology (ART) surrounds, made in-house and overmolded directly onto each cone, achieve greater excursion for a 3dB gain in distortion-free output (50% greater) compared to drivers with standard surrounds. Crafted from audiophile-grade injection-molded thermoplastic elastomer, ART surrounds are more durable and reliable, for a lifetime of superior sound.
Lightweight, extremely durable high-excursion Nomex spider design delivers a longer life of flexibility and performance. Nomex is 10-times stronger than industry-standard cotton-based spider material.
Copper Clad Aluminum (CCA) Voice coils with long-excursion, high-power 1.5-inch voice coil motors with Kapton formers, high-temp wire (tolerances to 600F!) and more durable Nomex collars.
Super-strong die-cast baskets feature integrated heat sinks for higher power handling, for better bass, better dynamics, and less power compression.
IMS/SHOCK-MOUNT
- a butyl-rubber driver fastening system in which critically placed isolation inserts and gaskets decouple drivers from the speakers enclosure, resulting in unparalleled reduction of driver/enclosure interactions and their associated resonances and vibrations.
The reference-level Prestige crossover design includes high voltage film and bi-polar capacitors, heavy gauge inductors and superior ceramic stand-off resistors for consistent performance at any playback level, and provide seamless blending for a more realistic performance.
Prestige Series - CRAFTSMANSHIP & DESIGN
Prestige cabinets are designed, engineered, and Crafted in Canada and constructed of heavy duty, non-resonant -inch MDF with optimally placed interior bracing and an enhanced 1-inch MDF baffle design.
Prestige cabinets are flawlessly wrapped with real walnut hardwood and offered in a variety of beautiful premium-grade finishes: Walnut and Black Walnut have a smooth satin finish with distinctive wood figuring. Midnight Cherry and Piano Black feature a luxurious hand-rubbed, high-gloss finish.
NEW Perforated Phase-Aligning (PPA) Tweeter Lens - combines advanced acoustic properties with a distinctive, concentric design for a more modern look.
NEW Rear mounted tweeter and midrange / tweeter module for low diffraction. and fastener-less design gives us better sound because of lower distortion, AND better looks because the cleaner, less intrusive looks.
NEW Low diffraction brushed anodized aluminum trim rings and tweeter face for a screw-less clean front aesthetic.
Low profile acoustically transparent magnetically attached grille
NEW Rigid polished stainless steel and aluminum base that isolates and defeats performance-altering vibrations. The bases feature reversible foot options for hard and soft flooring.
