About The Paradigm CI Elite E5 LCR V2 In-Wall Speaker
The E5 LCR V2 is part of the CI Elite Series from Paradigm and features advanced innovative technology. The CI Elite E5 LCR V2 is the smarter choice for customers wanting the architectural look with high-end sound. Installation? No problems. The Audio Trends custom installation team can do everything for you or your builder.
The Paradigm E5 V2 is the middle LCR in the Elite Series and is packed with quality innovations and smart technology such as the coaxial midrange & tweeter, designed to match the sound of the Paradigm Founder Series centre channel speakers. The CI Elite series is hand crafted in Canada and takes performance to the highest level with patented technology, step-up components, and hallmark Paradigm sound quality, plus a bezel-free micro-perf grille with an incredibly discreet aesthetic.
Three LCR Elite's are designed to be used together for a consistent spread of sound at the front of your home cinema system. One should be mounted horizontally in the centre under the screen and the other two mounted vertically either side of the screen. This gives a wonderfully harmonious domestic appearance whilst providing the highest quality sound available from an inwall setup.
AL-MAC™ Tweeter: All Elite Series V2 feature Paradigm's ground breaking Aluminium Magnesium Ceramic (AL-MAC™) Tweeter with Exclusive Perforated Phase-Aligning (PPA™) Tweeter Lens protects the delicate tweeter dome.
AL-MAC™ is Paradigm's unique blend of Aluminium, Magnesium, and Ceramic materials; each of which contribute to the end goal of greater accuracy and realism. Their special properties contribute to the final product which is not only strong and lightweight, but embodies a natural anti-resonance to ensure the tweeter doesn't just sound good "on paper" but truly sounds incredible in the real world.
AL-MAG™ Cones: Similar to the goals Paradigm had in mind when developing the AL-MAC™ tweeter, Paradigm's Aluminium Magnesium (AL-MAG™) Cone was conceived to bring the same elevated level of performance to the area where our ears are the most sensitive. In addition, AL-MAG™ combines a high stiffness-to-mass ratio with superior internal damping for greater accuracy.
Advanced Shock-Mount™ System: Paradigm's Advanced Shock-Mount™ System mechanically decouples the die-cast aluminium baskets from the specially formulate CARBON-X™ ingrained baffles reducing performance-robbing vibrations and resonance between the chassis and the acoustic platform. Without these resonances, all drivers are left free to deliver pure, unaltered sound with no audible distortion.
RED™: Reduced Edge Diffraction (RED™) Technology significantly reduces the adverse effects of diffraction while improving frequency response.
Larger Voice Coil: Oversized 1.5" High-Power Handling Voice Coil motor structure dramatically increases maximum output level and reduces power compression. Elite Series enjoys up to 40% greater excursion vs Pro Series for the most demanding audio applications.
Aluminium Baskets: FEA-Optimized Ultra Rigid Cast-Aluminium Baskets feature integrated heat sinks for higher power handling, better bass, better dynamics, and less power compression.
Integrated Back-Box: The Integrated Acoustic Back-box Enclosure safeguards internal parts from debris while preventing added sound 'spillage' to adjacent rooms. It also ensures consistent and reliable performance from application to application.
Speakers Behind The Screen? No Problem: Screen Compensation Mode ensures true acoustic transparency when placed behind micro-perforated projection screens
Premium Components: Premium-grade components include high-power rated resistors, capacitors and heavy gauge wire inductors.
Cable Capture: Nickel-plated, spring loaded binding posts feature a larger wire hole to accept higher-gauge wire or banana plugs.
Driver Surrounds: Patented Active Ridge Technology (ART™) surrounds, made in-house and over-moulded directly onto each cone, achieve greater excursion for a 3dB gain in distortion-free output (50% greater) compared to drivers with standard surrounds.
Mix & Match: Bezel-Free, Micro-Perf Grilles allow you to mix and match CI Home, CI Pro and CI Elite Series for a seamless aesthetic from room-to-room!
Magnetically Attached Grilles: The magnetically attached grilles use neodymium magnets to hold them firmly in place.
