Features
Patented Active Ridge Technology (ART™)
The farther the driver can freely move, the deeper the bass it can generate. Patented* ART driver design "overmolds" durable driver surrounds to allow the farthest possible throw without distortion or destruction. Greater excursion results in a measured 3dB gain in output, with a 50% reduction in audible distortion compared to drivers held back by standard surrounds.

Additional Features
XR embodies our “Art Embracing Science” philosophy
It’s the perfect complement to any system and blends perfectly with our award-winning Founder series of loudspeakers.
Faceted Cabinet Design
XR’s cabinet is not only purposefully beautiful but intentionally functional. The geometric profile elegantly distributes the massive load of housing the powerful woofer inside, providing greater strength and rigidity than traditional rectangular designs.
Cascade-Fusion Bracing.
Further increases cabinet rigidity for maximum acoustic precision while also breaking up standing waves internally, which provides more accuracy and greater bass clarity.
Advanced Shock-Mount Technology
XR is not only about maximizing output but minimizing distortion too. The feet are designed with multi-layered durometer rubber-metal matrices to provide industry-leading isolation whose benefits can be measured and heard in the real world. Not only does this give a more accurate sound while elevating low-frequency performance, but it is also a neighbor-friendly technology
Vertical Mounting System
To further improve the XR’s performance-to-size ratio, Paradigm engineers used a Vertical Mounting System to fit more woofer into the same space, maximizing the performance possible while keeping the footprint of the subwoofer in check.
Dual-Motor Ultra Long Throw Trilinear Suspension
XR’s Ultra Long Throw Trilinear Suspension is grounded by a dual-spider centring system that supports the voice coil on both sides to ensure clean linear motion while pushing the envelope of its excursion.
Split Coil Construction
Oppositely wound turns on each coil, effectively eliminate motor non-linearity. High-temperature wire (adhesives rated to 450° F/232° C) ensure long-term reliability and very high power handling. Apical™ formers contribute to high stiffness.
CARBON-X Unibody Bass Driver
XR’s Carbon fiber reinforced drivers use a single-piece cone construction for added strength, especially at higher volumes, with the lowest possible mass to ensure every detail and note can be felt.
Up to 2.2kW of Powerful Class-D Amplification
With colossal power reserves and the massive output capability of its Ultra Long Throw Trilinear Suspensionenabled woofer, the XR subwoofers achieve effortless sound during even the most demanding musical passages or movie soundtracks.
Mobile Control App
Power without control is meaningless, so to control and tune XR’s performance, we added our simple and powerful mobile Control App. Get quick and easy access to all of XR’s settings and sound adjustments, including volume, phase, low pass filter, DSP mode and more, all from the comfort of your seat.
Anthem Room Correction (ARC®).
With ARC Genesis Software and premium Microphone.
