Paradigm Defiance subwoofers deliver pure power, unleashed by clean, efficient amplification in a mix of six models, from entry-level to ultimate performance. The Defiance X12 Subwoofer features a 650-watt power amplifier with a dynamic peak of 1300 watts for quick bursts of bass punch. With app control and Anthem Room Correction (ARC®), you’ll have powerful, perfectly balanced bass at your fingertips. The Defiance X series of subwoofers is crafted in Canada.
Ultimate, Uncompromising Bass
Everything is maximized with the new Defiance X10 / X12 / X15 subwoofers. Output is massive, thanks to heavy-duty, internally-braced cabinets, and Active Ridge Technology (ART™) for maximum driver-excursion. Massive SPL levels are coupled with precision control, intense detail and vanishingly low distortion. Completely Crafted in Canada, Defiance X outperforms every sub in their class.
Anthem Room Correction
Using your mobile device or calibrated microphone (included with Defiance X models, sold separately on Defiance V models*), ARC measures your space, compares it to lab standard using proprietary advanced DSP algorithms, and instantly removes performance-robbing anomalies. The result is easy to hear: realistically blended, accurately rendered deep bass. Professional room correction at the touch of a button.
Optional Wireless Module
Place your subwoofer anywhere in your room, with no inconvenient cabling, and without sacrificing speed or performance. The Defiance WT Wireless Module* (sold separately) features fast and clear 2.4 GHz dynamic frequency selection with instant error correction and a 50ft range.
Down Firing Ports
Tuned ports turn the floor into a tool for enhancing bass response, allowing more flexible placement options with no risk of turbulence or distortion.
