Signature SUB 2 by Paradigm
Overview:
The Signature SUB 2 by Paradigm redefines what’s possible in subwoofer design, offering unparalleled bass output, precision, and clarity in a compact, beautifully engineered form. Featuring six high-excursion 10” bass drivers arranged in Paradigm’s patented Vibration-Canceling (VC) Design Architecture, the SUB 2 delivers extraordinary low-frequency performance with near-zero cabinet vibrations. Whether you’re experiencing the deepest cinematic rumbles or the tightest musical bass, the Signature SUB 2 is built to bring the most demanding soundtracks and audio to life with effortless power.
Purpose:
Designed for audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts who demand the absolute best, the Signature SUB 2 is a statement in both form and function. Its revolutionary design ensures that it can fit seamlessly into any room while delivering extreme output and bass definition that would rival much larger systems. Whether paired with high-end speakers or part of a larger sound system, the SUB 2 is a true performer that sets new standards for subwoofer performance.
Design:
The Signature SUB 2 features Paradigm’s exclusive Vibration-Canceling Design Architecture, a groundbreaking approach that uses six 10” drivers to deliver more air movement than a traditional pair of 15” woofers. This clever design significantly reduces cabinet vibration, ensuring your bass remains precise and distortion-free. The cabinet itself is acoustically inert, allowing for clean, tight bass with minimal resonance. The subwoofer is housed in a striking, hexagonal cabinet that enhances structural rigidity while also adding an elegant aesthetic to your setup. Paradigm’s signature RCR™ mineral-filled co-polymer polypropylene cones ensure outstanding driver stiffness, leading to superior repeatability and precise bass response.
