Although Paradigm

Reference speakers sound great out of the carton, they will sound
e
ven better once they are broken in. Operate them for several hours before you listen critically.
High-frequency drivers use ferro-fluid that can thicken at temperatures below 10° C (50° F). If your
speakers have been transported or stored in the cold, let them warm to room temperature before use.
Clean speaker housing with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use a strong or abrasive cleaner or get any part of
the speaker wet.
MARINE MODELS: X-treme Moisture Application
Versions
X-treme Moisture Application
Versions are designed for full exposure to the elements. Crossovers have
been treated with a protective conformal coating and all models feature corrosion-resistant stainless-steel
grilles, mounting brackets and hardware to protect against harsh external environmental conditions including
excessive moisture, extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, corrosive salt spray, fog, snow, ice, and rain.
See "Speaker Installation and Connection" section for special instructions relating to these versions.
Stray magnetic fields from these speakers may interfere with the operation of your
boat’s compass. Install speakers a minimum of 3' (1 m) away from the compass.
HOW TO AVOID SPEAKER DAMAGE
Use an appropriate amplifier. At high volumes, a very powerful amplifier can overdrive your speakers
and damage them. On the other hand, if your amplifier isn’t powerful enough, it can produce clipping
distortion that can easily damage high-frequency drivers. (See your dealer.)
Don’t be fooled by your amplifier’s volume control. It adjusts listening level—it does not indicate
power output. If your speakers begin to sound harsh or grating, or if you hear the bass breaking up, turn
the volume down immediately or you will damage your speakers! This type of damage constitutes
abuse and is not covered by warranty!
Tone controls and equalizers can demand even more power from an amplifier, lowering the point at which
it produces clipping distortion. Use them sparingly, if at all, and do not use them when listening at loud levels.
YOUR LISTENING ROOM
Paradigm

and Paradigm

Reference in-wall/in-ceiling speakers are suitable for use in a wide variety of
listening environments. Note however, that room construction, dimensions and furnishings all play a part
in the quality of sound you ultimately achieve. The extra care taken in installation will result in greater
listening enjoyment. Try to follow these guidelines:
a) Strong, rigid walls and ceilings are preferred for best bass balance. For even better results add cross-
braces at about 12˝ (30 cm) above and below the speaker to further increase rigidity.
b) Midrange and high frequencies are affected by room furnishings. For best sound, your listening room
should contain an average amount of curtains, carpets, sofas, etc.
