REVISIONES PROFESIONALES Y PREMIOS

The CES Innovation Awards is an annual competition honoring outstanding design and engineering in consumer technology products. Persona 9H won 1st place, and was named BEST OF INNOVATIONS for the High Performance Audio-Video Category.

Good things do come in relatively small packages, although this is a nearly 300-pound speaker that is 51" high. It uses four new ultra-high excursion woofers, two 700-watt amps, and ARC-2 digital room compensation to produce incredibly deep, accurate bass at to 19Hz and going as low as 15Hz. It also features an advanced beryllium tweeter and midrange driver, and provides equally outstanding midrange and treble performance in every aspect. Detail, dynamics, depth, and imaging are all excellent. Sensitivity is 96dB, allowing use with even low-power triodes and providing an exceptional sense of life with more powerful amps.

The Paradigm Persona 9Hs not only provided the best overall bass response I've had in my listening room, it did so when playing back deep bass at subwoofer frequencies and loudness levels.

Paradigm has created one of the world's finest loudspeakers the right way, by applying what they've learned from decades of research, design and manufacturing know how to produce a speaker with no compromises. There's nothing they don't do, nothing they won't play and from what I can deduce, nothing they won't partner with regarding electronics.

Sometimes, music can feel like magic. Hearing a familiar song can send chills up your spine, change your entire mood, or even take you to the same place you first heard it. Of course, music is only as good as the tools used to play it. Enter the Paradigm Persona 9H. Acoustically, the Persona 9H can out-muscle heavyweights twice its price. The 1-inch tweeter, 7-inch mid/bass driver, and four 8.5-inch woofers are calibrated with Anthem Room Correction, powered by separate DSP-controlled 700W amps, and wrapped in a housing that oozes audiophile distinction.

Paradigm Persona 9H Loudspeaker is a state of the art speaker designed by one of Canada's leading audio companies. It may be expensive but it's one of the best speaker systems in its class. It delivers superb upper-octave and midrange response, and it can deliver flat, detailed, and room-corrected bass that normally requires a massive separate subwoofer.

...the Paradigm Persona 9H is a superb speaker system for the money and also provides dedicated room-frequency compensation in a more purist form. Both products show that room compensation is now available in far better sounding forms, can deal effectively with room interactions and speaker locations, and significantly improve key aspects of the realism of the listening experience in any system. The promise of digital processing has been around for years. Legacy and Paradigm show that this promise is now really being kept.?

Paradigm's director of product development, Oleg Bogdanov, explains how dual-voice-coil technology, found in flagship Persona speakers and the Seismic 110 subwoofer, eliminates or dramatically reduces sources of distortion in loudspeakers.

They may be big, expensive and undeniable heavy, but Paradigm’s Persona 9H speakers are outstanding in every respect, from the superb quality of build and finish to their scintillating sound. Don’t be fooled by that modest power requirement and seemingly benign impendence: partner them with a high-quality, high power amplifier, and prepare to be dazzled by a design fully justifying its flagship status.

A 5.5-inch surround with carbon-infused polypropylene cone with a larger PPA lens handles the midrange frequency driver, and two 5.5-inch ART surround polypropylene cones provide the bottom end.
