As a recognized
leader in high-end sound, Paradigm has what it takes to build the
finest in-wall/in-ceiling speakers. The magnificent Paradigm® Reference
SA Series is in a high-end class of its own. With its unprecedented
timbral accuracy, stunning dimensional imaging and striking bass
articulation, the SA Series is unmatched in providing the ultimate
in high-end in-wall and in-ceiling sound!
Attaining true high-end performance from in-wall speakers presents a tremendous
engineering challenge. While a speaker in a wall may be aesthetically pleasing,
acoustically a wall is less than ideal.
There is a continual plethora of very expensive in-wall speaker introductions,
each promoting their latest design wizardry; but beyond the hype, they rarely
come close to authentic high-end sound.
Well-designed high-end speakers have solid enclosures. Paradigm® Reference
enclosures are incredibly rigid and solid, not only controlling unwanted cabinet
resonances and colorations but essentially eliminating them. By comparison, a
wall is flexible which means uncontrolled resonances and higher distortion—bass
sounds bloated with poor definition and midrange neutrality, clarity and imaging
all suffer.
