Technology, by definition, is the practical application of knowledge. When it comes to sound reproduction, no one knows more than Paradigm. When it comes to the practical application of that knowledge we’re committed to doing it better! Better measurements, better materials, better components always result in better sound … and better speakers.

While many speaker companies do not have the resources to design and manufacture their own drive units, Paradigm purpose-designs robust drivers for specific speakers.

 


 

To ensure superb consistency, our crossovers boast hand-selected precision parts.

Our high-power, high-current amplifiers with oversized power supplies and massive heatsinks deliver tremendous (and instantaneous) power output at all times.

Use your knuckles! Rap on our enclosures! As one reviewer asserted, they’re as dead as we claim in our literature! Acoustically inert high-density hardboard reinforced by strategically located radial braces limit unwanted resonances and increase enclosure stiffness. At other times, no bracing is even required on our speakers, even on our most powerful subwoofers as they pound out the deepest, loudest bass imaginable … it’s all in the design!

Custom speakers, often referred to as architectural speakers — designs hidden out of sight in a wall or ceiling (for those who don’t have the space or want a minimalist approach to music and home theater) — are growing in popularity. Again, Paradigm is leading the way in this area. When it comes to in-wall/in-ceiling speakers, there is no substitute for good design build on years of experience producing the very best sounding freestanding designs. More than 25 years of intensive research and design backed by cutting-edge technology, much of it proprietary, lie behind every custom speaker we produce. The result? Sound reproduction that rivals that of the very best freestanding designs.

Precision. Consistency. Long-term reliability. These are inherent characteristics of even the smallest Paradigm component part. Technology and design that represent true innovation in the pursuit of perfection in audio reproduction. Out of this come sonic accuracy and purity, a clean, detailed and transparent reproduction of the original performance, nothing more, nothing less.

It starts with knowledge, it ends with knowing, knowing that you’ve created a better product … an audibly better product. You hear it in every Paradigm speaker produced!

AMS-150SQ-SM v.4

Single speaker system with stereo L/R inputs, 3-driver, 2 x 2-way in-wall / in-ceiling, GRIP™ chassis / mounting bracket


Overview

A DISAPPEARING ACT THAT'S TOUGH FOR THE COMPETITION TO FOLLOW!
It’s not often that Paradigm makes a fuss about removing something from a speaker but this is one of those times. The whole point of ceiling speakers is in the aesthetic. When customers choose Paradigm in-ceilings, it’s a given they want to hear great sound, they just don’t want to see it. We complied, making our virtually invisible in-ceiling bezels even less visible across the AMS Series in-ceiling lineup. The odd time your customer looks up at the ceiling, there won’t be much to see … which is exactly
what they’re looking for!


MODEL ENHANCEMENTS

NEW! Thinner, Sleeker Bezels with more transparent scrim for a cleaner, disappearing aesthetic with increased sonic transparency.

Full-Perimeter Bracket Design. Unlike typical mounting ears, brackets cover the full diameter or height and width of the speaker chassis to effectively sandwich and strengthen the area around the mounting hole.

Advanced High-Power S-PAL™ Satin-Anodized Pure-Aluminum Domes. Ferro-fluid damped and cooled. The low-mass tweeter domes with treated textile suspensions are exceptionally rigid. Extremely uniform and instantaneous power response.

Advanced High-Power Mineral-Filled Co-Polymer Polypropylene Cones. Large, computer-optimized magnets and high-power motor structures promote natural and detailed sonic reproduction with outstanding extended bass response.

High-Pressure Die-Cast Aluminum Chassis and Mounting Brackets (selected models). The supremely rigid die-cast structure reduces resonances and standing waves, while the aluminum does double-duty as a heatsink.

High-Strength GRIP™ Glass-Reinforced Injection-Molded Polymer Chassis and Mounting Brackets (selected models). Design strength/rigidity reduces the problems of vibrations and resonances.

Paradigm has made every effort to ensure accuracy of information, but cannot be responsible for typographical or photographic errors. Refer to actual cut-out templates packed with each speaker before attempting to cut any holes.
