These Paradigm Founder 120H Speakers are Priced and Sold as a Pair
The Paradigm Founder 120H is not your average speaker—it’s a masterpiece of engineering and design that sets new standards for sound quality and visual appeal. These 5-driver, 3-way hybrid floor-standing speakers deliver a sonic experience that balances precision, control, and dynamics. Featuring active bass, a ported enclosure, and a sleek gloss black finish, they seamlessly combine aesthetics and performance. Whether you’re an audiophile or just someone who loves immersive sound, these speakers redefine what’s possible in audio.
Craftsmanship That Speaks Volumes
From the cabinet structure to the mounting hardware, every detail of the Paradigm Founder 120H has been meticulously crafted. These speakers are the result of tireless research and innovation, ensuring each component works harmoniously to create a listening experience greater than the sum of its parts.
The cabinet itself is a standout feature, with its unique geometric design and Cascade-Fusion bracing. Unlike traditional square enclosures, this shape minimizes unwanted resonance and vibrations, letting you hear only the purest sound. Plus, the premium-grade finishes, like Piano Black, add a touch of luxury to any space.
Advanced Driver Technology
The Paradigm Founder 120H is equipped with cutting-edge drivers designed to reproduce every note with stunning accuracy. Let’s break down what makes these components so special.
AL-MAC™ High-Frequency Driver
The 1" Aluminum Magnesium Ceramic tweeter combines lightweight construction with incredible strength. This blend ensures high responsiveness without distortion, offering clarity in the highest frequencies. The Oblate Spherical Waveguide (OSW™) focuses sound where it matters most—your listening area.
AL-MAG™ Midrange Driver
Midrange frequencies are where human ears are most sensitive, and the AL-MAG technology takes this into account. With its Aluminum Magnesium construction, this driver delivers lifelike vocals and instruments. It’s the key to making your favorite artists sound like they’re performing live in your room.
CARBON-X™ Bass Driver
Bass forms the foundation of any great sound system, and the ultra-high-excursion CARBON-X bass driver in the Founder 120H doesn’t disappoint. Designed with a single-piece cone for maximum strength and efficiency, it provides deep, powerful bass without sacrificing clarity.
Engineered for Modern Living Spaces
Today’s open-concept homes with hard surfaces like glass and wood can be challenging for traditional speakers. Paradigm has addressed this with innovative technologies tailored to these environments.
Oblate Spherical Waveguide (OSW™)
This feature optimizes how sound interacts with your space, reducing reflections and ensuring consistent performance, even in challenging acoustic settings. You get better sound where it’s needed and less interference where it’s not.
Anthem Room Correction (ARC™)
The integrated ARC Genesis system takes room acoustics into account, automatically adjusting the speaker's performance to suit your specific environment. It’s like having a personal sound engineer fine-tuning your system for perfection.
The Power of a Hybrid Design
The hybrid design of the Paradigm Founder 120H integrates an internal 1,000-watt amplifier dedicated to the bass drivers. This leaves your external amplifier free to focus on mid and high frequencies, delivering a balanced, distortion-free sound. This innovative approach also allows the speaker to perform exceptionally well in a more compact design.
Precision and Control in Every Detail
Paradigm’s Advanced Shock-Mount™ System plays a crucial role in reducing distortion. By mechanically isolating the drivers from the cabinet, this system ensures that unwanted vibrations don’t interfere with the audio quality. Even the feet of the speakers are designed to decouple vibrations, maintaining sonic purity no matter the flooring type.
Why the Paradigm Founder 120H Stands Out
The Paradigm Founder 120H isn’t just about impressive specs—it’s about creating an emotional connection with your music and movies. Whether you’re enjoying a quiet acoustic track or a thunderous action movie, these speakers bring every detail to life. Their dynamic range allows them to handle everything from whisper-soft sounds to earth-shaking volumes with ease.
JL Audio Home Audio F212V2-GLOSS Dual 12" Powered Subwoofer – #96143
JL Audio F212V2-GLOSS Dual 12-inch Powered Subwoofer is the ultimate expression of the Fathom formula. It is ideal for larger spaces thanks to its higher efficiency and higher power output. The combination of dual ultra-long throw W7 12-inch drivers and a very powerful switching amplifier give it jaw-dropping performance capabilities at any listening level.
Because it is built with the same driver and amplifier technology as our flagship Gotham®, the F212V2-GLOSS delivers a tremendous level of sound quality. Low distortion, excellent dynamic capabilities and shockingly deep bass extension will allow you to experience all the excitement of the most demanding cinematic material, while also being able to reproduce all the nuance and texture of your most delicate musical material.
A complete set of signal processing features is easily accessible on the front surface of every Fathom. These include a highly flexible low-pass filter, variable phase, switchable polarity, e.l.f. trim and our powerful Digital Automatic Room Optimization (D.A.R.O.) system. A calibrated microphone is included for the D.A.R.O. system. Input connections are made via unbalanced RCA connections or balanced Neutrik® combo XLR/TRS jacks. Also included is an XLR output to connect a second Fathom® as a slave unit.
F212V2-GLOSS Physical Specifications:
| Width (W) | 14.92 in / 379 mm |
| Height (H) | 31.96 in / 812 mm |

This, combined JL Audio’s commitment to state-of-the-art assembly technology, allows skilled workforce to efficiently build JL Audio products to extremely high quality standards, right here in the U.S.A.
Since most of JL Audio’s premium loudspeakers incorporate proprietary, patented technologies requiring specific assembly techniques, JL Audio find it is vital that the people who designed them have close access to the people manufacturing them.
