A Master Class in Design and Engineering

The all-new XR subwoofers are a master class in design and engineering refinement that challenges what is possible from a compact, sealed subwoofer design. Our goal was to push the boundaries of performance while never losing sight of aesthetics by wrapping everything up into a suitable size that won’t ever feel out of place.

Art Embracing Science

Like the award-winning Founder Series of loudspeakers, our approach was simple. When designing XR, every part and sub-component was scrutinized and designed to be optimal for its specific purpose and for each piece to complement the others, resulting in a product that is truly greater than the sum of its parts.

Performance was paramount when developing XR. But at Paradigm, we truly believe in our mantra of “Art Embracing Science,” so XR’s luxurious cabinet is acoustically inert and visually stunning to look at.

Purposefully Beautiful and Intentionally Functional

The faceted design of XR’s cabinet is not only purposefully beautiful but intentionally functional. The geometric profile elegantly distributes the massive load of housing the powerful woofer inside, providing greater strength and rigidity than traditional rectangular designs. The custom 2″ thick MDF front baffle adds further rigidity to the cabinet and acts as the backbone necessary to withstand the brutal forces of the massive woofer and magnet within.

DSP (LISTENING MODES)

XR Subwoofers allow a choice between 3 different DSP or Listening modes: Movie, Music and Night

VOLUME CONTROL 

The volume of the XR subwoofer can be adjusted through the control app or the touch screen control on the subwoofer itself.

SWEEP

The Sweep toggle initiates a self generated tone sweep from the subwoofer. This can be used for fine tuning or positioning of the subwoofer as well as being useful in locating buzzes and rattles.

LOW PASS FILTER

This setting adjusts the built in Low Pass Filter, which gradually reduces the subwoofer output above a certain frequency. This is especially important to help blend a subwoofer properly into a system.

PHASE

Phase adjusts the delay applied to the incoming signal being fed to the subwoofer. Adjusting this properly so that the main speakers and subwoofer are “in sync” as closely as possible.

ROOM CORRECTION 

This allows you to toggle ARC Genesis on or off once the correction has been uploaded to the subwoofer. This allows for easy A/B comparison to hear just how much ARC Genesis can improve the bass performance.
