Overview

A Fully Integrated Approach to State-of-the-Art In-Wall Music
and Home Theater

Beyond the hype, other in-wall speaker brands simply can’t come close to this kind of performance. The SA-LCR 3 in-wall system is designed for music and movie enthusiasts who demand the award-winning performance delivered by our freestanding Paradigm Reference Studio speakers, but within a minimalist aesthetic.

Exceptional Installation Flexibility

… install three SA-LCR 3’s in the wall behind a perforated screen or in a Left / Center / Right configuration around an on-wall display. Used as a center channel, the unified tweeter / midrange assembly can be rotated 90°. The precision and accuracy of the crossover design maintains the proper dispersion pattern between drivers and the interaction between drivers and baffle, preserving sonic integrity.

Why a Backbox is an Integral Part of the In-Wall Design?

Installing the high-end SA-LCR 3 into its backbox serves a number of purposes:

• Required support for the speaker mounting frame and baffle assembly;

• In concert with the IMS/SHOCK-MOUNT™ system removes opportunity for unwanted resonances or standing waves to color output;

• Ensures optimum volume—improving overall sound quality, promoting deep, clear and concise bass response while helping to reduce distortion to inaudible levels;

• Reduces acoustic bleed-through to adjacent rooms.
