Paradigm CI ELITE E5-LCR In-Wall LCR Speaker with Integrated Back Box - Each

Looking to upgrade your sound system without sacrificing space? The Paradigm CI ELITE E5-LCR gives you floorstanding-level performance in a sleek in-wall design that practically disappears into your setup—but the sound? That’s front and center.

Built Like a Beast, Crafted in Canada

Let’s get something straight: this isn’t just any in-wall speaker. The CI ELITE E5-LCR is made in Canada and loaded with next-level tech borrowed from the CI Pro™ line—then kicked up a notch. Oversized voice coils, high-performance X-PAL™ aluminum cones, and audiophile-level engineering give it the edge.

Back Box Brilliance

The integrated back box? Game-changer. It delivers consistent, high-end performance without relying on the mystery of your wall’s internal space. You get tight bass, clean mids, and soaring highs—without any guesswork.

Screen Compensation? Sorted.

Mounting behind a projection screen? No problem. A dedicated screen compensation switch ensures clarity and transparency even when hidden behind perforated screens. Your movies and music won’t just sound good—they’ll sound real.

Precision-Engineered Sound You Can Feel

From the exclusive X-PAL™ tweeter to the ART™ surround technology, every detail of the Paradigm CI ELITE E5-LCR is engineered for performance. The tweeter’s Perforated Phase-Aligning (PPA™) Lens smooths out high frequencies while keeping them razor-sharp. It’s like having a precision scalpel for sound.

And that Ferrofluid cooling system? Think of it as an ice bath for your tweeter, keeping things cool even when the volume’s cranked.

Woofers That Work Overtime

This speaker features three 6.5" X-PAL™ aluminum cone drivers, each surrounded with Paradigm’s patented ART™ surrounds. These don’t just add durability—they give you a solid 3dB of distortion-free gain. That means more punch without the fuzz.

Reduced Edge Diffraction = Cleaner Midrange

Thanks to RED™ Technology, those awkward standing waves that ruin midrange clarity? Gone. The off-center die-cast aluminum tweeter housing breaks them up and dissipates heat like a pro, giving your audio a smoother, more natural tone.

A Tank Inside and Out

The CI ELITE E5-LCR doesn’t just sound tough—it is tough. With a die-cast aluminum chassis, rugged baffles, and a magnetically attached micro-perf grille, this speaker is built to last. Even the screw holes are pocketed to make drilling easier (and keep your drill from slipping).

Ready for Real Power

With a recommended power range from 15 to 200 watts, this speaker pairs well with high-performance amplifiers. It handles serious volume with ease thanks to its oversized 1.5" voice coils and efficient thermal design.

Whether you’re watching movies, gaming, or just vibing to your favorite playlist, the Paradigm CI ELITE E5-LCR delivers theater-quality sound without the floor clutter. It’s premium audio, minus the footprint—but with all the boom, detail, and clarity you crave.
