Advanced High-Power Class-D™ Amplifiers deliver massive
amounts of high-current power with minimal distortion.
DSP-3100: 600 watts Dynamic Peak/200 watts RMS.
DSP-3200: 900 watts Dynamic Peak/300 watts RMS.
DSP-3400: 900 watts Dynamic Peak/300 watts RMS.
Forward-Firing Drivers with Advanced CAP™ Carbon/
Aramid-Fiber Polypropylene Cones. Advanced cone material
combines exceptional stiffness/low mass with excellent internal
damping for tremendous freedom from unwanted resonances.
Advanced Suspension Design and Large Magnet Structures
encourage extended cone excursion while maintaining superb
control over cone movement.

“ IMPRESSIVE … can handle the most dynamic low-frequency sound passages … a great value for the higher-end user looking
for a subwoofer that can really pump out clear and tight deep bass in any size room without spending a fortune.”

High-Efficiency Dual-Ported Design. High-velocity lownoise ports with critically flared openings serve to reduce
turbulence distortion. Front-ported design accommodates
installation flexibility.
Removable Grilles with SVS™ Slot Ventilation System
allow release of the enormous air pressure generated by
these high-output designs.

Acoustically Inert MDF Enclosures serve to limit unwanted

panel resonances and vibrations, ensuring clean, clear and very
articulate bass performance.
Paradigm’s Proprietary Digital Signal Processing (DSP) Design boasts
sophisticated algorithms which “shape” frequency response, ensuring
accurate, consistent and musical bass performance without audible
distortion, even when the subwoofers are playing at the loudest levels
(see graph below).

Big Bass for a Small Space
High-power DSP Series subwoofers are the result of Paradigm’s multi-year
R&D effort to achieve exceptional high performance while accommodating
the growing desire for installation flexibility. Not everyone wants a highperformance subwoofer on full display, so models are front-firing and frontported with removable grilles, making them ideal for “hidden” installations.
For those who want it all … exceptional high performance (including the
sonic benefits of digital signal processing!), a smaller footprint, flexible
placement options and killer price points, DSP subwoofers fit the bill.
Optional Paradigm Perfect Bass Kit™digital room correction system.
