These new models combine high-fidelity sound, sleek design, and exceptional value, making them an ideal addition to your product lineup.
Deep Bass and Exceptional Value
Feel every beat with custom-engineered, carbon-loaded polypropylene woofers that produce deep, clear bass. Crafted with renowned technology, the Essentials subwoofers offer outstanding performance and precision at an impressive price, bringing music, movies, or games to life.
Unmatched Clarity and Power
Paradigm Essentials Sub are Equipped with efficient Class-D amplifiers (400W or 700W), the Essentials series delivers remarkable precision and impact at a competitive price. These subwoofers provide the clarity and power that make every listening experience enjoyable.
Crystal-Clear Sound with Advanced DSP
The Paradigm Essentials Sub 10 & 12 feature a 56-bit high-resolution DSP engine for clear, accurate audio and reduced distortion. This advanced processing enhances every listening moment.
Effortless Integration
With a sealed, forward-firing design, the Essentials subwoofers blend smoothly into any space, offering versatile connection options (LFE and RCA inputs) for easy setup and integration.
Optional Wireless Upgrade
For added flexibility, pair the Paradigm Essentials subwoofers with the Paradigm Subwoofer Wireless Kit (sold separately). This upgrade eliminates cables and allows users to place the subwoofers for optimal sound, enhancing both performance and aesthetics.
Key Features:
Compact Design
The Paradigm Essentials Sub 10 measures roughly 13" cubed, making it smaller than the outgoing V8, while the Essentials Sub 12 measures roughly 15" cubed, smaller than the outgoing V10. This reduced form factor, along with its radius-edged cabinet, creates a much more modern design that we believe will be easier to integrate into any home environment. But that's not all. These new models aren't just smaller than their predecessors—they also deliver superior performance. The Essentials Sub 10 surpasses the Defiance V8, while the Essentials Sub 12 outperforms the Defiance V10. Both models feature fully sealed designs with a forward-firing driver, making them well-suited for installation inside a cabinet for a more discreet solution.
Power and Precision
The Essentials Sub 10 and 12 deliver deep, distortion-free bass thanks to their carbon-loaded polypropylene drivers and ultra-efficient Class-D amplification. With 200 watts RMS and 400 watts peak power, the Essentials Sub 10 packs a punch far beyond its size and price. Similarly, the Essentials Sub 12, with 350 watts RMS and 700 watts peak power, takes performance to the next level, when space and budget allow.
Exceptional Paradigm Value
"There is no value in the absence of performance," and these two models embody that statement perfectly. At just these price points these subwoofers will amaze you with their capabilities, you could even include two in every project.
Upgrade with Wireless Freedom
We’re excited to introduce a new option to go wireless with the WSK-1 Subwoofer Wireless Kit (sold separately). This kit features a transmitter and receiver box and is compatible not only with the Essentials 10 and 12 but also with other Paradigm subwoofers like the XRs, Millenia, and Seismic 110.
