Paradigm Speakers

Brand Profile

The 1990s were a decade of growth and expansion for Paradigm. The company and its reputation grew, distribution expanded beyond the Canadian border, and Paradigm’s array of application-specific audio solutions grew. Additionally, the company planned one of North America’s largest loudspeaker manufacturing facilities.

Paradigm began the decade by winning its first “Best Price/Value” award from the prestigious “Inside Track” Magazine in 1990. One of the most successful models of the early 90s was the Atom, part of the renowned Monitor Series. The Atom models featured some of the best available audio technology of the day, such as Satin-Anodized Aluminum Tweeter Domes with powerful ferro-fluid cooled neodymium magnet structures and one of the most advanced handcrafted crossover designs, all at a surprisingly reasonable price. The Atom became Paradigm’s Number One selling model, and “Best Price/Value” became the company’s maxim.

Custom-Design

Based on Science, not Speculation

Detailed Scientific Findings

In the mid-90s, Paradigm unveiled its first powered subwoofer. The single-driver PS-1000, with just over 100 Watts RMS, packed such a punch that it convinced Paradigm engineers that powered subwoofers were the future. By the end of the 90s, models such as the big Servo-15, powered by a custom-built high-current, low distortion amplifier, were winning awards for their thunderous musicality.

Know About Other Paradigm Series Products

Paradigm introduced the Reference Studio Series, a family of loudspeakers that set the stage in look and sound for the next generation of Paradigm speakers. With bolted faces prefiguring the “steampunk” design, and smoothly curved enclosures, these speakers featured innovations such as die-cast heat-sink driver chassis, shock-mount isolation chambers, advanced crossover networks, and furniture-grade finishes. The Reference Studio Series reset the bar for accuracy, detail and resolution.

Best Products of All Time

High-end speakers have been a historical specialty of Paradigm and this tradition is maintained in their entirely new series. Many of the same technologies used in their more expensive series are available at extremely low prices.
