Pre-owned Paradigm Studio Sub 12 Subwoofer
Collection only. Doesn't include the original packaging.
Single high-excursion driver, sealed enclosure, patented built-in Ultra-Class-D™ power amplifier, USB port
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), a highly advanced tool for component design, the surrounds’ multi-layer composite matrix, with its hightech 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 not only improve linearity and heat dissipation, they also help reduce voice coil inductance and distortion.
- Proprietary AVS™ Airflow Ventilation System Cooling: Large built-in ribs increase the heat dissipation surface, providing forcedair 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 Boast 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.
