Dual State-of-the-Art SideMounted 4˝ (102 mm) x 14˝
(356 mm) Mineral-Filled CoPolymer Polypropylene Cones.
Highly damped and tremendously rigid
cone provides tight, well-defined lowfrequency response with a weight and
authority that does justice to the most
challenging music and movie material.
Pleated LCS™Linear Corrugated
Surround features Ultra-LongTravel Suspension. The over-molded
design produces truly exceptional peakto-peak cone movement producing
higher output and lower distortion—
every bass note sounds distinct. Cone
ribbing increases stiffness, reducing
resonances to inaudible levels.

BIG BASS WITH NO FLOOR SPACE!
How do you get Reference quality performance (i.e. phenomenal output, breathtaking clarity,
superb extension and speed!) out of an in-wall subwoofer without it tearing your wall to shreds
with the first big explosion or tympani crescendo?
Serious high-output subwoofers produce real energy. However, the majority of in-wall subwoofers
out there don’t (read: CAN'T!) produce serious bass, so vibrational energy isn’t an issue. Not so
with the RVC-12SQ in-wall subwoofer. It’s like a dog off the leash. Free from the constraints of
conventional in-wall design, boasting dual state-of-the-art 14˝ drivers in a cutting-edge Vibration-
Canceling design architecture (see below), it’s free to dig deeper for new levels of articulate, soulstirring bass while chasing new heights in performance.
WE’RE STIRRING UP GOOD VIBRATIONS
Bass frequencies are notorious for stirring up wall vibrations – not a good thing! Conventional in-wall
subs excite these vibrations through a reactive force opposite to that created by the movement of the
voice coil. We turned things around. In the RVC-12SQ the two woofers fire in phase, in opposite
directions
(see transparency above left)
. This results in a physical cancelation of wall vibrations.
Paired with a matching Paradigm X amp and enhanced by the critically acclaimed Paradigm
Perfect Bass Kit
™
digital room correction system (sold separately), RVC-12SQ delivers bass that will
rock your world, not your walls.
For new construction an optional BX-12SQ backbox is designed to maximize output by adding
precision low-noise ports. In truth, with the use of this backbox, performance is even a notch better!
Backbox optional for new construction applications.
