Technology, by definition, is the practical application of knowledge. When it comes to sound reproduction, no one knows more than Paradigm. When it comes to the practical application of that knowledge we’re committed to doing it better! Better measurements, better materials, better components always result in better sound … and better speakers.

While many speaker companies do not have the resources to design and manufacture their own drive units, Paradigm purpose-designs robust drivers for specific speakers.

 


 

To ensure superb consistency, our crossovers boast hand-selected precision parts.

Our high-power, high-current amplifiers with oversized power supplies and massive heatsinks deliver tremendous (and instantaneous) power output at all times.

Use your knuckles! Rap on our enclosures! As one reviewer asserted, they’re as dead as we claim in our literature! Acoustically inert high-density hardboard reinforced by strategically located radial braces limit unwanted resonances and increase enclosure stiffness. At other times, no bracing is even required on our speakers, even on our most powerful subwoofers as they pound out the deepest, loudest bass imaginable … it’s all in the design!

Custom speakers, often referred to as architectural speakers — designs hidden out of sight in a wall or ceiling (for those who don’t have the space or want a minimalist approach to music and home theater) — are growing in popularity. Again, Paradigm is leading the way in this area. When it comes to in-wall/in-ceiling speakers, there is no substitute for good design build on years of experience producing the very best sounding freestanding designs. More than 25 years of intensive research and design backed by cutting-edge technology, much of it proprietary, lie behind every custom speaker we produce. The result? Sound reproduction that rivals that of the very best freestanding designs.

Precision. Consistency. Long-term reliability. These are inherent characteristics of even the smallest Paradigm component part. Technology and design that represent true innovation in the pursuit of perfection in audio reproduction. Out of this come sonic accuracy and purity, a clean, detailed and transparent reproduction of the original performance, nothing more, nothing less.

It starts with knowledge, it ends with knowing, knowing that you’ve created a better product … an audibly better product. You hear it in every Paradigm speaker produced!

Overview

Talk About Sub Yoga! More Positions than a Swami Teaching Yoga
in an Ashram
!


MilleniaSub … It will turn you on, bliss you out, and rock your soul to the core! Think of it as the mind/body/bass connection!

We’re glad you’re thinkin’ about a Paradigm sub! And congrats! It’s obvious you have great taste since you’ve chosen the world’s #1 Speaker Brand! We’re not blowing smoke, we’ve been voted #1 twenty times* (the only speaker manufacturer in the world that can claim that achievement!).

If you haven’t heard The Paradigm Difference you’re long overdue! The difference this sub will make to your music and home theater experience can’t be put into words but you’ll hear it and you’ll feel it. They say Paradigms put you in the moment and keep you there! The amorphous ‘they’ are right. It’s a humbling experience, one that takes you beyond the sub’s slim and toned beach bass body to a place where you’re absolutely lost in the music or movie you’re watching.

Your MilleniaSub is part of Paradigm’s ‘Reference’ collection … cool style and superb quality that includes ‘cost no object’ technology at below what you’d pay for any other genuine high-end subwoofer with this much cool stuff.  We guarantee you won’t be able to keep the Paradigm difference a secret. In fact, we hope you don’t. Spread the word! Talk about it. BRAG about it! Play your MilleniaSub and let others listen! Our mission is to rid the world of bad sound … and by ‘bad’ we mean the kind of subwoofers the big box stores stock, the ones that pretend to be dangerous and big-bass mean, but in the end couldn’t give a fish in a fish bowl a fair shake.

So what are you waiting for? Get down to your local A/V specialty dealer and ask for a listen … we guarantee a whole new mindset after you’ve heard the MilleniaSub. There’ll be no going back. Like we said, it’s a mind/body/bass connection!

Back-to-Back Bipolar Dual-Woofer Design … inherently vibration cancelling. Woofers fire in opposite directions resulting in a physical cancellation of vibrations and a massive reduction in the potential for sound-destroying resonances. Bloated, boomy bass?? Not a chance!!

Killer Polymer Monocoque Cone Design … the outer skin of the woofer cone bears the brunt of the motion stress brought on by extended cone excursion. Cone is FEA-optimized for maximum strength-to-weight ratio.

Over-molded Corrugated Santoprene® Surround … well known performance advantages like high excursion and symmetrical compliance as well as increased longevity and you-can-bank-on-it-performance reliability. Design geometry reminiscent of our RVC-12SQ in-wall sub = higher output, lower distortion, every bass note sounds distinct.

Radical Dustcap Design … braced through the center and adhered to the cone’s edge allowed us to move primary cone breakup mode to outside the woofer’s operating band. Reduced distortion (inaudible actually!) and improved frequency response. Not to mention it looks totally cool!

FEA-Optimized Motor Structure … 1˝ voice-coil, high-energy rare-earth neo magnets – swami-approved for their radiating energy!

5-mm Thick Extruded Aluminum Cabinet … ultra-rigid but also super slim, allowing us space to tuck in all of this crazy state-of-the-art technology!

Advanced Ultra-Class-D™ Amplifier … Paradigm’s Digital Signal Processing Design. Sophisticated mathematical algorithms ‘shape’ frequency response ensuring accurate, consistent, musical bass without distortion even at the highest output levels.
