SFC12-SW

Traditional in-wall subwoofers often struggle to produce serious bass, making vibrational energy a non-issue. However, the Seismic Force-Canceling 12 (SFC12-SW) defies these limitations. It’s free to dig deeper for new levels of articulate, gut-rumbling bass while achieving new heights in performance.

Quiet Walls, Mighty Bass

Imagine phenomenal output, breathtaking clarity, and superb extension and speed from an in-wall subwoofer without compromising the integrity of your walls. Traditional in-wall subwoofers often struggle to produce serious bass, making vibrational energy a non-issue. However, the Seismic Force-Canceling 12 (SFC12-SW) defies these limitations. It’s free to dig deeper for new levels of articulate, gut-rumbling bass while achieving new heights in performance. Featuring dual proprietary Carbon-X drivers and a cutting-edge Vibration-Canceling configuration—pioneered in our Signature Sub, Persona Sub, and our flagship Persona 9H models—the SFC12-SW delivers deep, articulate, and powerful bass without tearing your wall to shreds with the first big explosion or tympani crescendo.

Carbon-X Cones

Our dual proprietary 3.75” x 15.35” (95mm x 390mm) Carbon-X cones are highly damped and tremendously rigid. They provide tight, well-defined low-frequency response with a weight and authority that highlight the most challenging music and movie soundtracks. To take things even further, Paradigm engineers deployed our patented over-molded Active Ridge Technology (ART) to produce truly exceptional peak-to-peak cone movement, delivering higher output and lower distortion to ensure every bass note sounds distinct and is delivered with authority.

But that’s not all, each SFC12-SW driver features over 1/2 lb of FEA-optimized super-neodymium magnets in each motor structure, ensuring ample power on demand. We use a 1” (25mm) 6-layer voice coil with an anodized hightemperature Kapton former and dual Nomex cloth spiders to ensure countless years of reliable performance. All of this is wrapped in a one-piece high-pressure ultra-rigid die-cast chassis designed to withstand every decibel of enormous power generated by the proprietary bass drivers.

Make no mistake; the SFC12-SW is a powerhouse and a masterclass in in-wall subwoofer design!
