ABOUT PARADIGM

In the early 1980s Paradigm was just an idea in the minds of a couple of twenty-somethings who loved music. Unlike today, there was no 225,000 square-foot factory, no 36,000-cu.-ft. on-site anechoic measurement chamber, just a desire to make really really good sounding speakers and sell them at a down to earth price.Today Paradigm speakers are sold on six continents.We’ve been voted the #1 speaker brand 22 times* and fans scour the web to buy used versions of our original speakers.That should tell you something about the quality of our products. For more information visit www.paradigm.com.

ABOUT YOUR MILLENIA CT

Your Millenia CT is a high-end design loaded with superior technology. In other words … it’s got loads of very cool stuff you won’t find in any other compact audio system. For those who salivate over technical details, we’ve included Tech Specs section in the back of this manual to give you the skinny on why your system sounds so good!

The difference the Millenia CT will make to your music, movies and gaming can’t be put into words, but you’ll hear it and you’ll feel it. It’s an experience that takes you beyond two little speakers and a subwoofer to a place where you’re absolutely lost in the experience. It’s the Paradigm Difference.We guarantee you won’t be able to keep that difference a secret. And we hope you don’t. Spread the word.Talk about

your Paradigms. BRAG about them. Play them and let others listen.We’re all different and our sound should reflect that. Some of us like music, others love movies, others are gaming enthusiasts and others enjoy all of that. No matter who you are, or where you live, what you like, or what you do, we want to be The Official Sound of You™.
