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.
Remote Adjustability and Control
Power without Control is meaningless, so to control and tune XR’s performance, we added our simple and powerful mobile Control App. Our Control App provides quick and easy access to all of XR’s settings and sound adjustments, including volume, phase, low pass filter, DSP mode and more, all from the comfort of your seat. This also means you can hear the effects of your adjustments directly from your listening position in real-time, making tuning more accurate and quicker than ever before.
Capacitive touchscreen volume control
Craftsmanship
The XR Series is completely designed, engineered, and built at our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility outside Toronto, Canada. It’s made by people who love great audio (just like you).
From the hand-chosen, specially engineered components and materials to the precise workmanship of the non-resonant cabinets with their beautiful premium-grade finishes, the XR Series is truly hand-built for performance.
Partnered with the NRC
Paradigm is partnered with Canada’s world-renowned NRC in ongoing research to reveal the true nature of sound and human hearing. Findings influence design and performance specs, resulting in a uniquely realistic listening experience, backed by sound science.
