Paradigm's product lineup caters to audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts alike, offering solutions that range from high-fidelity floor-standing speakers to discreet custom-install architectural audio.

• Can Paradigm CI Home in-ceiling speakers be installed outdoors?

  No, the CI Home Series speakers are designed for indoor use only and should not be exposed to outdoor elements. For outdoor audio, Paradigm recommends the Rock Monitor or Garden Oasis series.

• How do I clean my Paradigm speakers?

  Clean speaker housings with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use strong or abrasive cleaners, and do not get the drivers wet. For outdoor models, a gentle spray from a garden hose may be used on the exterior if specified in the manual.

• Can I paint the grilles of my Paradigm in-wall speakers?

  Yes, most Paradigm architectural speaker grilles are paintable. Remove the grille from the speaker before painting, apply several light coats (spray paint is easier than brushing), and ensure the grille holes do not get plugged with paint.

• What is Anthem Room Correction (ARC) on Paradigm electronics?

  Anthem Room Correction (ARC) is a proprietary technology found in Paradigm electronics (like the SVX-1202) that uses a calibrated microphone and DSP software to adjust the audio output to match the unique acoustic characteristics of your room.

• How should I position my Paradigm in-wall speakers for best bass?

  Placing speakers near corners will emphasize bass, but strong, rigid walls are preferred for the best bass balance. Avoiding corners often results in a more balanced sound for critical listening.
