Subwoofer Paradigm PDR-10 v.4
Is the fourth version of the popular active subwoofer PDR-10 of Paradigm is designed to support the authority of Canadian manufacturers in the segment of affordable but quality products.
Body with slightly rounded side faces seem very massive and so solid. Immediately evident that we are not dealing with another faceless "Dice" and quite elegant design that will not look alien in the modern interior. But apart from purely design sides of the issue should be noted and the technical features of this model. As before, it uses a proprietary ten-head with a diffuser of a special composite-reinforced polymer fibers, 38mm voice coil and a powerful magnet system. Built-in amplifier traditionally powerful product Paradigm - the peak value of 360 W speaks for itself. The amplifier circuit has a special soft limit output until audible distortion (soft clipping).
Acoustic design of PDR-10 - dual rear bass reflex port that has a specially designed socket that minimizes overtones exiting air flow at high volume. Connection - only to line input, which somewhat limits the ability to integrate the classical stereo. Although in most cases this companion subwoofer becomes modern AV-receiver with a separate output woofer channel. Built-in crossover rebuilt within 50 - 200 Hz, but it is provided and bypass mode (bypass), which is recommended for use in advanced systems with self-calibration.
Perhaps the most spectacular woofers of current participants. And this glamor is not achieved due to excessive "beautiful" sound, and thanks to a remarkable dynamic characteristics. It should be recognized that this indicator at Paradigm has few rivals among vehicles of similar price. Crushing, impact style playback will more than ever on the records of contemporary genres with the accented rhythm. Each hit is fulfilled elastically and juicy, though not always very reliable. This peculiarity is apparently due not entirely clear control at the edges of the range, and the attack can sometimes be perceived not too energetic. In doing so, the main working range of the claims do not arise slightest, it harmony and tranquility reign.
With theatrical applications this is much better. A feeling that this subwoofer is created for the modern blockbuster scoring saturated infrasound effects. His ability to shake the unprepared listener in the literal sense of the word - seem so real scale sound effects. Noticeable monotony of playing in the test also could not be found, that can certainly be attributed to the pluses, because such a property in budget models meet infrequently.
