PARADIGM PRESTIGE™ SERIES

PREPARE TO BE IMPRESSED AND ASTONISHED.

When was the last time you heard music performed live? Whether it’s in a spacious concert hall, an
airy amphitheater or an intimate club, live music is the ne plus ultra entertainment experience. Artists
on a tightrope, no net, playing full out; using their whole being to generate emotion and excitement.
Audiences up on their feet, dancing; or riveted in place by virtuosity. Music is a living thing, born in
the studio and on stage—growing, expanding, taking over the world. And like the most effective live
performances, Prestige achieves its goal with simplicity, technology and the application of a talented
human touch.
Whether you seek a more lifelike realization of your music sources, or you want a truly earthshaking
home theater experience, the Prestige Series offers you the best seat in the house (the one in your
own living room).

PRESTIGE IS PARADIGM—REFINED

With an unobstructed look: clean, sharp lines, with close attention paid to the smallest details, these loudspeakers don’t rely on gimmicks.

PRESTIGE IS SMART ENGINEERING

Harnessing cutting-edge technologies, such as our patented Perforated Phase-Aligning (PPA™) Tweeter Lens that protects the delicate X-PAL™ tweeter dome and acts as the Phase Plug, blocking out-of-phase frequencies for smoother, extended high frequencies with incredible detail and higher output. Also, our patented Active Ridge Technology (ART™) surrounds, made in-house and overmolded directly onto each cone, achieve greater excursion compared to drivers with standard surrounds.

PRESTIGE IS AN AUTHENTIC, HANDCRAFTED PIECE OF ART

Designed, engineered, and fully Crafted in Canada, by people who love great audio
(just like you). From the precise workmanship of the non-resonant cabinets to their
beautiful premium-grade finishes, Prestige is truly hand-built for performance.

CRAFTSMANSHIP

Prestige cabinets are designed, engineered, and Crafted in Canada specifically to
enhance audio performance and complement your listening space. Constructed of
heavy duty, non-resonant ¾-inch MDF with optimally placed interior bracing and an
enhanced 1-inch MDF baffle design, each Prestige cabinet features sharp lines, clean
aesthetics and industry-leading premium-grade finishes.
The innovative rear-mounted tweeter and driver housing completely hides front
baffle hardware. Drivers are shock mounted to a reinforced 1-inch MDF baffle, which
reinforces rigidity and cabinet strength while eliminating unwanted cabinet resonances
that interfere with the sound. The low profile, acoustically transparent grille attaches
magnetically for a stylishly stealthy front presentation.
Floorstanding models benefit from a rigid polished stainless steel and aluminum base
that isolates and defeats performance-altering vibrations. The bases feature reversible
foot options for hard and soft flooring.
Prestige cabinets are offered in a variety of beautiful premium-grade finishes: Walnut
and Black Walnut have a smooth satin finish with distinctive wood figuring. Midnight
Cherry, Piano Black and Gloss White feature a luxurious hand-rubbed, high-gloss finish.
