Paradigm CI Elite E3-LCR v1 In-Wall Speaker - Each

Looking for high-performance sound that blends right into your space? The Paradigm CI Elite E3-LCR is a serious contender if you’re chasing crisp detail, deep bass, and clean design—all in one stealthy in-wall package. From its Canadian craftsmanship to its clever acoustic engineering, this speaker doesn’t just show up—it shows off.

Pure Performance in a Slim Package

The Paradigm CI Elite E3-LCR is designed to disappear into your wall while delivering big, room-filling audio. This isn’t your average flush-mounted speaker—it’s armed with Paradigm’s high-end features like oversized voice coils, exclusive X-PAL™ aluminum cone drivers, and a rugged die-cast chassis that keeps everything rock-solid.

Think of it like having a luxury sports car hidden in your drywall. It looks subtle, but once it gets going, there’s no mistaking the power.

Tweeter Tech That’s Actually Smart

At the top of its game is the X-PAL™ tweeter with Paradigm’s PPA™ (Perforated Phase-Aligning) lens. It’s not just a cool-looking metal dome—this lens plays defense and offense. It shields the tweeter while smoothing out those tricky high frequencies. That means more shimmer, more air, and zero harshness.

And thanks to ultra-stable Ferrofluid cooling, that tweeter stays steady under pressure, keeping performance clean at any volume.

Aluminum Woofers That Mean Business

This speaker features dual 5.5” X-PAL™ brushed pure-aluminum cone woofers, engineered for serious accuracy and control. They’re lightweight but stiff—just what you want for quick, responsive bass without the boominess. Add in Active Ridge Technology (ART™) surrounds and you're looking at a 50% bump in distortion-free output.

That’s not just engineering. That’s brute strength dressed in a tuxedo.

Built to Handle the Heat

With a 1.5" high-power voice coil and die-cast aluminum baskets that double as heat sinks, the CI Elite E3-LCR keeps its cool even when the amp’s cranked. You get better dynamics, clearer mids, and deeper lows—all without the speaker breaking a sweat.

Pair that with RED™ (Reduced Edge Diffraction) technology, and midrange performance tightens up even more. The unique tweeter housing design diffuses unwanted frequencies that normally cause phase issues. What you hear is just clean, articulate sound.

Engineered for Real Life

Let’s not forget—it’s also built like a tank. Die-cast clamps, secure mounting systems, and rear shielding make sure this speaker holds up over time. Plus, with its bezel-free grille design and magnetic mounting, the CI Elite E3-LCR stays flush and fabulous in any room.

Whether you’re building a high-end theater or just want audiophile sound without visible hardware, this speaker checks every box—and probably a few you didn’t think to tick.
