ONTARIO, CANADA – May 12, 2006 – Paradigm Electronics is pleased to introduce
the PV Series of in-wall/in-ceiling speakers, launching the line with four
high-performance models: PV-50R, PV-60R, PV-150, and PV-160. Consistent with
Paradigm’s mission to create high-quality speakers at affordable price points,
the PV Series takes Performance and Value to the next level.
Since
walls and ceilings are flexible by nature, typical in-wall/in-ceiling speakers
are prone to uncontrolled resonances and standing waves that distort sound;
resulting in bass that sounds bloated, lacking definition, clarity, neutrality,
and imaging. The high-strength IRP™ injection-molded ribbed-polymer mounting
system on the PV speakers increases wall rigidity by “sandwiching” and
strengthening the area around the mounting hole. Unwanted resonances and
standing waves are drastically reduced.
The PV-150 and PV-160 are
2-driver, 2-way models, and the PV-50R and PV-60R are 2-driver, 2-way models
with coaxially mounted high frequency drivers. For bass/midrange drivers, the
PV-50R and PV-150 have 5-1/2” mineral-filled polypropylene cones while the
PV-60R and PV-160 have 6-1/2” mineral-filled polypropylene cones – delivering
neutral and detailed midrange performance with smooth, extended bass response.
For the high frequencies, the textured pure silk domes with ferro-fluid cooling
promote clear, extended response, with superb transparency and spaciousness.
Affordable PV Series speakers are expertly designed and engineered
to provide customers with an aesthetically unobtrusive and versatile way to
enjoy both high-performance distributed audio and high-quality home theater
sound. Whether you are a qualified installer or a do-it-yourselfer, Paradigm's
PV Series speakers are flexible in application, and designed for quick and easy
“drop-in” into existing walls and ceilings. PB Preinstallation brackets are also
available for new home construction.
Measurements are as
follows:
* PV-50R – 7 3/4“in diameter with 2 3/4“needed for mounting
depth.
* PV-60R – 9” in diameter with 3” needed for mounting depth.
* PV-150 – 10 3/8“ x 7 3/8” with 2 5/16” needed for mounting depth.
