Paradigm Surround 3

The bi-directional design uses two sets of drivers firing in opposite directions to create a wider, more diffuse sound field. This helps eliminate 'hot spots' in your room, making the surround effects feel more immersive and less localized to the speaker itself.

The Perforated Phase-Aligning (PPA) lens acts as a filter that blocks out-of-phase frequencies. This results in smoother, more detailed high-frequency output while simultaneously protecting the delicate tweeter dome from accidental damage.

Absolutely. These speakers are specifically engineered for placement flexibility, allowing you to achieve high-quality surround sound even in rooms where traditional speaker positioning is restricted by furniture or wall configurations.

While these speakers have a low-frequency extension down to 45 Hz, they are designed as surround speakers rather than full-range towers. You will still want a dedicated subwoofer to handle the deep, low-frequency effects (LFE) typically found in movie soundtracks.
