Your new subwoofer is a supremely powerful, accurate, as well as
physically attractive state-of-the-art six-sided sealed system that boasts:
•
A Compact Hexagonal Form Factor;
• Vibration-Canceling Design Architecture — set a martini on top of
the cabinet while the subs are playing and barely a ripple is noticeable;
• Six Cutting-Edge High-Excursion Bass Drivers with advanced
mineral-filled polypropylene cones and distortion-reducing surrounds;
• Our Own Cutting-Edge Ultra-Class-D ™ ‘Kilomax’ Amplifier Platform
with Universal Input Power and Power Factor Correction (SUB 2);
• 2 Cutting-Edge Ultra-Class-D ™ Amplifiers (SUB 1);
• Our Own Digital Signal Processing Design;
•
A Comprehensive Range of Input and Control Facilities;
• High-Quality Furniture-Grade Finish … a powerful subwoofer or
high-end coffee table? Judging by appearances, it’s difficult to say.
The Paradigm Perfect Bass Kit ™
Even when the finest subwoofers are perfectly spaced and positioned, the
room itself can still have a dramatic impact on performance. Room dimensions,
dead spots, archways, even furniture can turn the room into an additional
instrument playing alongside musicians or movie scores with unwanted
coloration and resonance. Bass can sound boomy with poor definition. You
have the perfect subwoofer but in a less than perfect room! The solution is
included with your new subwoofer … Paradigm’s critically acclaimed Perfect
Bass Kit (PBK). Based on research conducted by the National Research
Council, PBK analyzes the subwoofer’s response in your room, then sets about
perfecting that response through scientific calculation! And it’s receiving
rave reviews …
“…
audibly better bass through science … Does it really work? You
bet it does. Several noteworthy features of the software are its ability to
correct multiple peaks and/or troughs in the subwoofer/room bass response
curve, to identify and address potential standing wave problems, to calculate
a solution that helps optimize bass response across multiple listening
locations, and that, purists please take note, affects only the subwoofer—
not the other speakers …I did some listening tests with the Paradigm sub
before using the PBK kit and then afterwards, and I can vouch for the fact
that the PBK equalized sub sounded much tighter, more neutrally voice, and
much better defined.” – AV Guide on PBK
