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!

UltraCube™ 12

Single high-excursion driver, dual 254-mm (10 in) balanced-plane, high-velocity passive radiators, built-in advanced Class-D™ amplifier, USB Port / PBK Interface. Power output is 1950 watts Dynamic Peak/650 watts RMS.


Overview

Denizens of the Deep

When it comes to compact subwoofer design our UltraCube™ Series breaks new ground. From their proprietary advanced Class-D™ amplifiers to their very high-power drivers, everything about these little cubes is optimized for high-performance, including their sleek, acoustically inert enclosures. Power! Impact! Extraordinary refinement! Remarkable musical finesse! The UltraCubes deliver it all! A completely unprecedented accomplishment in subwoofers of such compact dimensions.

Control Facilities:

• Auto On/Off

• Subwoofer Level

• Subwoofer Cut-Off Frequency (continuously variable 40 Hz – 150 Hz)

• Sub/Sat Phase Alignment (continuously variable 0° to 180°)

• USB Port/PBK Interface

Input Facilities:

• Line-level Inputs

Proprietary Advanced High-Power Class-D™ Switching Amplifiers provide truly massive amounts of clean, high-current power as well as ultra-low distortion. Power output is 1950 watts Dynamic Peak/650 watts RMS.

Advanced Down-Firing Mineral-Filled Co-Polymer Polypropylene Cones with RCR™ Resonance Control Ribs. Superior cone rigidity and the high internal damping properties of polypropylene ensure well-extended bass response with impressive articulation and ultra-low distortion.

Oversized Dual Magnet Structures generate exceptionally strong magnetic energy in the gap. Advanced suspension ensures wide peak-to-peak excursion with superb control.

Proprietary AVS™ Airflow Ventilation System Cooling conducts heat away from the voice coil.

Dual Balanced-Plane High-Velocity Passive Radiators. Solid, stable, and free from unwanted resonances and vibrations, the passive radiator design assists in providing the exceptionally deep bass these compact cubes deliver.

Acoustically Inert MDF Enclosures help limit unwanted panel resonances and vibrations for clean, tight, extremely accurate bass performance.
