In the speaker-building chain, manufacturing is just as important a link as research and design. At Paradigm we design and build drive units, crossover networks, electronics, amplifiers, plastics and enclosures – and even our own tooling, production and testing equipment – to ensure greater precision and superior quality control.

• Advanced robotics help ensure strict quality standards. This assembly glues dust-caps and holds them in place until the adhesive sets.
• Our injection-molding machines use molds we design and produce. Look closely at this one and you can see a Monitor Series bass/midrange cone “hot off the press!”
  
  
  

• Auto-insertion machines like this one attach components to circuit boards, ensuring greater accuracy and reliability.
• Our electronic discharge machine (EDM) creates component molds like the one in figure 5. The EDM uses an electrical charge to “carve out” metal at the molecular level to a tolerance of ±0.005 mm (±0.0002 in)!
• With the EDM we can attain a level of detail that would otherwise be impossible. Notice the intricacies in this high-performance AMS-100R chassis.
