YOUR NEW SPEAKERS

Although Paradigm

and Paradigm

Reference speakers sound great out of the carton, they will sound

ven better once they are broken in. Operate them for several hours before you listen critically.

High-frequency drivers use ferro-fluid that can thicken at temperatures below 10° C (50° F). If your

speakers have been transported or stored in the cold, let them warm to room temperature before use.

Clean speaker housing with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use a strong or abrasive cleaner or get any part of

the speaker wet.

MARINE MODELS: X-treme Moisture Application

™

Versions

X-treme Moisture Application

™

Versions are designed for full exposure to the elements. Crossovers have

been treated with a protective conformal coating and all models feature corrosion-resistant stainless-steel

grilles, mounting brackets and hardware to protect against harsh external environmental conditions including

excessive moisture, extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, corrosive salt spray, fog, snow, ice, and rain.

See "Speaker Installation and Connection" section for special instructions relating to these versions.

Stray magnetic fields from these speakers may interfere with the operation of your

boat’s compass. Install speakers a minimum of 3' (1 m) away from the compass.

HOW TO AVOID SPEAKER DAMAGE

Use an appropriate amplifier. At high volumes, a very powerful amplifier can overdrive your speakers

and damage them. On the other hand, if your amplifier isn’t powerful enough, it can produce clipping

distortion that can easily damage high-frequency drivers. (See your dealer.)

Don’t be fooled by your amplifier’s volume control. It adjusts listening level—it does not indicate

power output. If your speakers begin to sound harsh or grating, or if you hear the bass breaking up, turn

the volume down immediately or you will damage your speakers! This type of damage constitutes

abuse and is not covered by warranty!

Tone controls and equalizers can demand even more power from an amplifier, lowering the point at which

it produces clipping distortion. Use them sparingly, if at all, and do not use them when listening at loud levels.

YOUR LISTENING ROOM

Paradigm

and Paradigm

Reference in-wall/in-ceiling speakers are suitable for use in a wide variety of

listening environments. Note however, that room construction, dimensions and furnishings all play a part

in the quality of sound you ultimately achieve. The extra care taken in installation will result in greater

listening enjoyment. Try to follow these guidelines:

a) Strong, rigid walls and ceilings are preferred for best bass balance. For even better results add cross-

braces at about 12˝ (30 cm) above and below the speaker to further increase rigidity.

b) Midrange and high frequencies are affected by room furnishings. For best sound, your listening room

should contain an average amount of curtains, carpets, sofas, etc.

SPEAKER PLACEMENT GUIDELINES (all models)

For placement of ADP

™

Surround/Rear speakers see the additional placement guidelines that follow farther

below. If your speakers have ‘SM’ in their model name, or feature a Guided Soundfield

™

, also see placement

options and additional recommendations beginning farther down the page.

Location

When installing your speaker, pick a location between studs or ceiling joists. Be careful not to damage any

wires when you cut the installation hole.

Accurate Timbre and Imaging

Our in-wall/in-ceiling speakers feature wide, uniform dispersion and can be installed almost anywhere. For

the most accurate timbre and imaging however, place stereo pairs approximately equal distance apart and

select locations that allow sound to reach the listening area unobstructed.

Bass Performance

Placing speakers near corners will emphasize bass. For more balanced sound, we recommend avoiding

corners when considering speaker placement.

Placement of ADP

™

Surround/Rear Speakers

Paradigm

Reference ADP

™

in-wall/in-ceiling Surround/Rear speakers accurately reproduce the ambience

and sound effects critical to achieving the full dimension of multichannel sound. They are full bandwidth

designs, precisely timbre-matched to Paradigm

front and center speakers to ensure a seamless

multichannel soundstage in a large, reverberant soundfield.

5.1 Surround Placement

Mount your ADP

™

surround speakers on either side of the main listening area (Fig. 1a).

6.1 Surround/Rear Placement

Begin with the 5.1 surround configuration outlined above, then mount one speaker in the center rear, behind

the primary listening area (Fig. 1b).

7.1 Surround/Rear Placement

Begin with the 5.1 surround configuration outlined earlier. Place another pair of ADP

™

speakers behind the primary

listening area: one speaker positioned slightly right of the seating position and the other slightly left (Fig. 1c).

Placement Options for ‘SM’ Models

Paradigm

and Paradigm

Reference ‘SM’ speakers offer two options for connection:

• Stereo Input: Wide dispersion “Left plus Right” channel sound from a single ‘SM’ speaker.

• Mono Input: Very wide dispersion stereo sound from two ‘SM’ speakers, one for the left, and one for the right.

With their Dual-Directional Soundfield

™

, ‘SM’ speakers provide wider than normal dispersion, allowing them

to be used in a variety of applications:

Single Speaker, Wide Dispersion “Left plus Right” Channel Sound (Fig. 2a)

Ideal in smaller areas less suited to a stereo pair of speakers or where a single speaker is the preferred

choice. The speaker is connected to both left and right amplifier channels. Position speakers to achieve the

broadest sound coverage across the main listening area.

Multiple Speakers, Distributed “Left plus Right” Channel Sound (Fig. 2b)

In larger areas (offices, on the boat deck, etc.) multiple speakers (each wired for “Left plus Right” channel

sound) may be used to eliminate the sound imbalances that occur with separate stereo speakers as people

move around, or are seated closer to one speaker than the other. Position speakers to achieve the broadest

sound coverage across the main listening area.

5.1 Surround Placement Using Two Speakers (Fig. 2c)

Place one speaker on either side of the listening area. Position so that one tweeter dome of each speaker

points toward the front of the room and the other points toward the back. Connect each speaker for Mono

sound, then use for L/R Surrounds to produce spacious 5.1 surround sound.

6.1 Rear Placement Using One Speaker (Fig. 2d)

Center one speaker behind the listening area, tweeter domes positioned toward the left and right sides of the

room. Connect speaker for Mono sound, then use as 6.1 Rear for wide-dispersion rear-channel sound.

7.1 Surround + Rear Placement Using Two

Speakers (Fig. 2e)

Place one speaker on either side of the listening area. Position so that one tweeter dome of each speaker

points toward the front of the room and use those channels for L/R surround sound. The other tweeter domes

will be pointed toward the back of the room which can then be used for L/R rear sound.

7.1 Rear Placement Using One Speaker (Fig. 2f)

Center one speaker behind the listening area with tweeter domes positioned toward the left and right sides

of the room. Connect to L/R Rears for spacious 7.1 rear-channel sound.

Placement Options for Guided Soundfiel

™

Models

Paradigm

and Paradigm

Reference Guided Soundfield

™

in-ceiling speakers are optimized for use in areas

with 8´ (2.4 m) to 9´ (2.74 m) high ceilings. They allow you to “guide” a wide-dispersion arc of sound toward

a specific area in much the same way we guide a floodlight to flood an area with light.

For overall clarity and balanced bass performance these speakers should be mounted in the ceiling 12” (30 cm)

or more from the wall, as shown in figs. 3a to 3f.

NOTE: Guiding the sound should be done after connecting the speaker but before

final tightening of flange

screws. See “Fine Tuning the Guided Soundfield

™

,” on page 5.

Guided Soundfield

™

Left/Right Speakers (Fig. 3a)

Follow the general guidelines for speaker placement provided at the beginning of the main section, keeping in mind

the distance from the front speakers to your primary listening area should be 10’ (3 m) to 14’ (4.3 m), as shown.

Adding a Guided Soundfield

™

Center Speaker (Fig. 3b)

Follow the directions for placement given earlier, then position the center speaker between the L/R

speakers, with drivers pointed toward the center of the listening area.

GUIDED SOUNDFIELD

™

SURROUNDS/REARS

These speakers are also ideal for use as surrounds/rears. “Guiding” the sound toward the sides and rear of the

room creates an enveloping, reverberant soundfield similar to that provided by Paradigm

and Paradigm

Reference ADP

™

speakers. Keep in mind that the speakers should be mounted 12” (30 cm) or more from the wall.

5.1 Surround Placement

(Fig. 3c)

Position one speaker on either side of the listening area with drivers pointed toward the side walls.

6.1 Rear Placement

(Fig. 3d)

Begin with the “5.1 Surround Placement” (above) then center one speaker behind the listening area with

drivers pointed toward the back wall.

7.1 Surround/Rear Placement

(Fig. 3e)

Begin with the “5.1 Surround Placement” (given earlier), then position another pair of speakers behind the

listening area, one slightly right, the other slightly left of the listening position, with drivers pointed to the

back of the room as shown.

Direct-Radiating Surrounds/Rears

(Fig. 3f)

Alternatively, these speakers may be used as direct-radiating speakers, positioned with drivers pointed

toward the listening area. Use fig. 3f as a guide to positioning as you experiment to achieve optimal

surround sound in your room.

UIDED SOUNDFIELD

™

URROUNDS/REARS (continued)

Fine Tuning the Guided Soundfield

™

Once you have decided on placement, connect the speaker following directions for Connection on page 6.

Before final tightening of the flange screws, rotate speaker until drive assembly points in the desired

direction. Then, follow directions for Installation on page 7. To readjust direction of sound, loosen screws,

rotate drive assembly until it points in the desired direction, then re-tighten screws.

Speaker Impedance with Multiple Speakers

If you are planning to use multiple speakers per amplifier channel first determine the number of speakers

your amplifier is capable of driving safely. Check your amplifier’s specifications to determine minimum safe

speaker impedance load (in ohms).

The MINIMUM load impedance of one

Paradigm

/Paradigm

Reference in-wall/

in-ceiling speaker is:

•

4 ohms per channel

The MINIMUM load impedance of one ‘SM’ model is:

•

8 ohms per channel when wired for Stereo Input

•

4 ohms per speaker when wired for Mono Input

Each additional speaker you connect will drop nominal impedance by half. We recommend using a Paradigm

VC-150 volume control when connecting more than two speakers. See your dealer for more information.

COLOR-MATCH PAINTING (optional)

Your new in-wall/in-ceiling speakers have either a textured or powder-coated finish in neutral white to

blend into any area. They may also be painted to match any decor. If you plan to paint your speakers, paint

them before installation (remove them from the wall before you start!).

Please note:

•

Do not paint the surface behind the grille

•

Do not heat-cure your newly painted speakers

•

Avoid painting the rear surface of the speaker — protect it by masking it

To Paint, Follow These Steps:

1) Remove the metal grilles and position the paint mask (supplied) in its place.

2) Lightly sand speaker flanges (models with metal frames only) with fine sandpaper (included)

to provide better paint adhesion.

3) In a well-ventilated area, apply several light coats of paint, letting the speaker dry completely

between coats. Follow the paint manufacturer’s directions.

4) When painting grilles, be careful to not plug holes with paint. Remove protective cloth from inside

grille before painting, and re-attach after paint has dried. It is easier to spray grille than use a brush.

Do not

paint grilles when they are installed on the speaker.

INSTALLATION INTO EXISTING WALLS OR CEILINGS

Turn your receiver/amplifier OFF before connecting speakers. This will avoid

damage which may result from accidental shorting of the speaker cable.

When using the VC-150 in an outdoor environment it must be enclosed in a weather-

proof box designed for electrical switches (see dealer).

1. Mounting

Place the mounting template onto the wall or ceiling. X-treme Moisture Applications

Versions:

Be sure to install into a bulkhead. Cut a hole as indicated on template. (Fig. 4a or 4b)

In-Wall Mounting

For optimum performance, loosely place …

• two pieces, 8˝ (20 cm) to 12˝ (30 cm) long, of standard fiberglass insulation in the wall.

R-12 for 2˝x 4˝ (5 cm x 10 cm) walls or R-20 for 2˝x 6˝ (5 cm x 15 cm) walls. Place one piece just

above and the other just below mounting hole.

• a half-thick piece of fiberglass insulation, the same height as the speaker, in the wall right behind

the mounting hole.

In-Ceiling Mounting

For optimum performance, loosely place …

• one piece of standard fiberglass (to fit joist size) above the speaker extending 12˝ (30 cm) or more

beyond the speaker between the joists.

• (for taller joists) fibreglass insulation directly against the joists on either side of the mounting hole.

2. Connecting and Installing

X-treme Moisture Applications

Versions only:

Following connection and prior to installation, any exposed wiring must be sealed

with dielectric grease (not included) to prevent deterioration over time. (See dealer for

more information.)

You are now ready to connect and install the speakers. If you are color-match painting your

speakers do so now before proceeding. Follow painting instructions provided earlier.

Rectangular

Speakers

With die-cast bracket attached to speaker, place complete speaker assembly to the wall and …

Connecting

(except models with ‘SM’ in their name, see connection instructions farther below):

a) Connect the speaker cable (not shown). Correct polarity or phase is critical for proper stereo imaging

and bass performance. Connect the hook-up cable to the speaker input terminal on the crossover

board. Connect the red (+) amplifier to the red (+) speaker terminal, and the black (-) amplifier terminal

to the black (-) speaker terminal. Fasten cable to bracket with wire tie (optional). (Fig. 8a)

Use only cable that is rated for in-wall use.

•

The UL standard is CL2, CL3 and CM

•

The CSA standard is FT4

•

X-treme Moisture Applications: Use only cable rated for marine use (see dealer).

IMPORTANT NOTE: Installing certain Paradigm

/Paradigm

Reference LCR (Left/Center/Right)

speakers in a horizontal configuration in a typical stud wall (16˝ on center) will require additional

framing. Please contact a qualified installer (see your dealer).

For optimal sound reproduction the use of high-quality speaker cable is essential. When using your speakers in

a distributed audio application, with multiple speakers per amplifier channel (zone), we recommend the use of a

high-performance in-wall volume control such as the Paradigm

VC-150 (see your dealer for more information).
