High-Excursion Bass Drivers
These proprietary drivers were designed, engineered and manufactured by Paradigm in North America: 12˝ (308 mm) in the SUB 12 and 15˝ (380 mm) in the SUB 15. With unwanted resonances, standing waves and micro-distortions non-existent, these subwoofers display incredible definition, awe-inspiring dynamics, lightning-fast speed and gut-wrenching power.
- Mineral-Filled Co-Polymer Polypropylene Cones with RCR™ Resonance Control Ribs: Engineered for very high power, the high-stiffness design is intrinsically low in distortion, allowing the bass cone to respond instantly to the starts and stops of even the leading edge of changing bass notes.
- Large High-Pressure Die-Cast Aluminum Chassis
- Dual-Voice-Coil Design — 3-Inch (76 mm) Aluminum Voice Coils: Wound on high-temperature Kapton® formers in an oversize configuration, the multi-layer voice coils provide exceptional linearity and motor strength.
- Advanced Multi-Layer Polyurethane-Composite Elliptical Surrounds and Dual Oversize Spiders: Optimized using Finite Element Analysis (FEA), the surrounds' multi-layer composite matrix, with its high-tech surface treatment, encourages staggering peak-to-peak excursion — with exceptional linearity and cone control.
- Large Aluminum Shorting Rings: Situated around the voice coil, the rings improve linearity and heat dissipation, and help reduce voice coil inductance and distortion.
- Proprietary AVS™ Airflow Ventilation System Cooling: Large built-in ribs increase the heat dissipation surface, providing forced-air cooling during large musical transients and chassis convection cooling at all other times.
- Extruded-Aluminum Center Heatsinks: Provide internal forced-air cooling to drive heat away from the FEA-optimized pole piece, increasing power handling while reducing distortion.
- 35-lb (15.8 kg) Magnet Assemblies with Balanced Field Geometry: FEA-optimized to produce a powerful high-density symmetrical magnetic forcefield while minimizing inductive distortion. Transient and phase response, power handling and output linearity are all exceptional.

Caring for your Speakers and Amplifiers
To Keep your equipment safe these are some best practices to note. Please be advised that this is only to reduce the risk of misuse and is not an exhaustive list.
Speakers
- Speaker terminals are marked red and black, ensure your amplifier to the speakers are wired on the same colours
- Ensure no loose speaker wire from the red touches a loose wire from the black as this will lead to a short circuit and damage either the speaker, the amplifier or both.
- Not all speakers are designed to play at max volume, kindly consider the pairing of your amplifier and speakers
- Speaker cabinets cannot be replaced please handle with care.
AV & Stereo Amplifiers
- If your amplifier has HDMI ports, ensure all devices are off before plugging in the HDMI cable
- Turn off the amplifier before swoping out or adding speaker cable
- Amplifiers generate heat, place them in a well ventilated space. if possible avoid having anything on top of the unit.
- adding a surge protector can assist with power dips which are likely to damage your devices. Isotek and Furman are industry standard.
- Dusty environments can sometimes lead to accumulation of dust in the electronic components that might affect heat regulation
Shipping & Returns
- Free shipping on orders over R500 within the country.
- Standard delivery within 2–5 business days. Delays will be communicated. This might vary slightly depending on your location.
- Return items in original condition for a full refund. (unopened state)
- Returns that are open/unboxed will be subject to a handling fee. Refunds will only be processed after testing the unit.
