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!

PDR-W100

Wireless Option with Wireless Transmitter included!

Single driver, bass-reflex, high-velocity low-turbulence resistive port. Built-in amplifier boasts improved soft-clipping circuitry for lower amplifier distortion and even cleaner maximum output levels.


Overview

Look Ma, No Wires!

The arrival of the wireless PDR-W100 allows you to place your PDR subwoofer in the location where it will deliver the very best bass, not simply in a place convenient for plug-in to a wall outlet. For those annoyed by cable clutter or unsightly wiring along walls or baseboards, PDR-W100 is an ideal neat freak option!

The PDR-W100 Wireless Transmitter is included when you purchase a PDR-W100 sub. Its digital self-sensing signal automatically adjusts for best wireless connection while monitoring the integrity of the data stream. It offers a sampling frequency of 48 kHz, 16 . The transmitter has an unobstructed range of 50’ / 15 m.

PDR Series subwoofers offer superb definition and deep bass impact for music and home theater. These high-performance designs use built-in high-performance, high-power amplifiers with high-current output, along with high-power drivers, to deliver stunning bass performance that represents completely unprecedented value. Their sleek lifestyle design simply adds to the reason they are the best selling budget subwoofers in the world!
