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!

Millenia™ LP

Our leanest on-wall system to date! 1-3/4 in / 4.4 cm thick including wall mount

3-driver, 2-way bass-reflex with dual passive radiators in ultra-thin on-wall with molded high-gloss polymer enclosure


Overview

We lost inches, not sonic muscle!

Once upon a time, flat-panel TVs mounted to the wall were five to six inches deep. Today’s new ultra-slim displays can protrude as little as an inch and a half from the wall! These slim designs can be dwarfed by conventional on-wall speaker designs. Enter the new on-wall Millenia LP. Even next to the thinnest flat panels, the LP won’t have to suck in its tummy. Including hardware it’s less than 1-3/4˝ thin. Installation is the easiest yet in a reference on-wall … just hang it on the wall. To top it off, while we lost inches, we didn’t lose an ounce of sonic muscle.

Following is the skinny on why this speaker sounds soooooo good …

Dual High-Velocity Passive Radiators used instead of ports to attain the desired bass extension in this minimal internal volume design. Solid and stable, the mica-loaded polypropylene ensures clean, clear and articulate bass, free from audible vibrations and resonances.

Two state-of-the-art 4-1/2˝ Mica-Loaded Co-Polymer Polypropylene Bass/Midrange Cones. Perfectly balanced cone density. High-grade polypropylene means distortion’s not even worth a mention. The infusion of mica adds stiffness and the injection-molding ensures critical shape so the cone stays true to form, even during a gruelling workout. The proprietary elastomer surround ensures a high-strength bond when the cone’s getting physical with a Terminator type movie.

1˝ state-of-the-art S-PAL™ Satin-Anodized Dome. Ferro-fluid cooled and damped. Deep-anodized for dome rigidity. Paired with a low-mass treated textile suspension. Highs are spacious, silky smooth and well extended.

State-of-the-art crossovers! Minimal crossover networks because the drivers are designed so incredibly well! In fact, integration is audibly seamless across the full range of frequencies.

No install, just hang ‘em on the wall!



Thin is in – On-Wall.
