Paradigm Seismic 110

Paradigm Seismic 110

Unlike many subwoofers on the market, Seismic™110 has no off-the-shelf parts.

A completely custom build.

Demonstrating how good it gets when form truly follows function.

Within the interior of the Seismic 110’s cabinet,components and amplifier are purpose-designed and appointed to ensure the highest power and greatest level of reliability as well as stability from the smallest possible physical envelope.

Ultra-low distortion split voice-coil design with an extremely long winding width allows for an incredible two inches of linear excursion with vanishing low levels of distortion.

Shallow die-cast driver basket and two-piece flattened cone construction contribute to the compact footprint

The fully integrated heat-dissipating Ultra-Class D™amplifier follows the shape of the cabinet maintaining the overall low profile.

The amplifier is mounted directly to the amplifier plate to provide both EMI and shock protection.Preamp cover eliminates any possibility of air leaks.

Unique Two-Part Cone Construction

Unique Two-Part Cone Construction

The low-profile cone geometry is achieved through a two-part construction.

Using the principle of triangulation to lend maximum strength to a compact form factor, the cone is built in two sections:

A support cone with I-beam cross-sectional support arms locks the flat outer cone to the voice-coil.

The surround is then over molded to the outer edge which becomes an area of high strength when bonded to the outer cone.

Innovative Ultra-Class-D™Amplifier with Switching Power Supply:

More than 90% efficiency

Prodigious total output: 1,700 watts of Dynamic Peak Power; 850 watts ofRMS Sustained Power.

Big Power from a Compact Package

Big Power from a Compact Package

Their low-noise,ultra-high-power, compact transformer (0.4 lb / 0.18 kg)boasts an ETD-core developed particularly for applications that require high power in a small format.

The switched-mode power supply benefits from: highest quality MOSFET transistors, noise-suppression networks and an advanced control circuit.

The result is tremendous current with ultra-quiet operation

The Full-Bridge Ultra-Class-D™Design Output Stage:Operates from split power supply rails ensuring exceptionally low distortion.

Not only does this design increase the speed of the switching, it dramatically increases switching efficiency

Precision Components and Dual-Sided Military Spec (FR-4 rated) Glass/Epoxy Circuit Boards:

Superior‘Reference’ quality performance with an enviable degree of reliability.

Unique Temperature Sensors:Maintain a safe operating temperature, even under extreme operating conditions.

Advanced Short-Circuit Protection:

Should current through the MOSFETs exceed an internally preset limit, aSilicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR) disables the output stage.

Essentially a ‘latching’ device, the SCR will not allow the output stage to be re-enabled until power is reset.

Reaction time is typically within 10 μs

PARADIGM'S HISTORY

The History of Great Sound in Canada, and Beyond

Did you know that Paradigm loudspeakers are still designed, engineered, and crafted, in their headquarters just outside Toronto, Canada? It’s been that way since 1982. That’s when co-founders Jerry VanderMarel and Scott Bagby decided to, eh-hem, change the prevailing industry paradigm. They wanted to build high performance loudspeakers locally. They wanted to custom-design their speaker components based on science, not speculation. And they wanted to make them available at prices that everyone would appreciate. To do it, Jerry and Scott tapped smart university audio researchers and the detailed scientific findings from audio studies conducted by the National Research Council of Canada. Their goal was to achieve a level of performance that would erase the speaker itself from the equation. Pure, lifelike audio, uninhibited by coloration, unrestrained in its ability to translate power into sound. And to do it at a price that would allow anyone to experience this magic. Jerry (sales, marketing, advertising) and Scott (design, manufacturing) gathered a team of dedicated audiophiles and engineers (and engineers who were audiophiles), and from these humble beginnings, Paradigm was born. The Paradigm Models 7 & 9 were unveiled at the Toronto Audio Show that year. A dozen dealers signed on to carry the line. (Many of these loyal charter dealers remain proud Paradigm dealers even today!)
