TWEETER AND MIDRANGE LENS TECHNOLOGY

The tweeter and midrange drivers have a distinctive perforated lens in front of them that increases and smooths output without colouring the sound while also protecting the drivers from damage.

PATENTED ACTIVE RIDGE TECHNOLOGY (ART™) SURROUNDS

The Active Ridge Technology (ART) surrounds on the Paradigm Premier 500C are made in-house and overmolded directly onto each woofer and midrange cone. This design provides more excursion, resulting in a 3dB increase in output and a 50% reduction in distortion. ART surrounds are made of injection-molded thermoplastic elastomer, making them more durable and dependable, ensuring a lifetime of great sound.

CANADIAN DESIGN

Paradigm's state-of-the-art 225,000 ft2 Canadian facility is where the Premier Series speakers are designed, engineered, and manufactured. To ensure an audio performance unlike any other in this price range, we chose heavy duty, non-resonant 3/4-inch MDF with optimally placed interior bracing and reinforced front baffles. Smooth front baffles with 1-inch MDF enhance sound radiation characteristics and reduce diffraction. You can feel the superior build quality that only true handcrafted manufacturing can provide. This new standard of performance and value is completed by beautiful, furniture-grade finishes.
