Luxury and value with an unprecedented level of realism and transparency
Dallas, Texas – CEDIA 2016 – SR-1 and Arts District #7 – September 15, 2016 – Paradigm Electronics Inc., international leader in speaker design and manufacturing, announced today the introduction of the Persona™ Series. Developed over five years, this flagship lineup, entirely designed, engineered, and Crafted in Canada, provides an unprecedented level of realism and transparency.
Billed as the company’s most ambitious design to date, Persona was brought to life by a team of Paradigm and Anthem engineers, leveraging over 34 years of acoustical development, vertical integrated manufacturing, and state-of-the-art design and engineering to create a leading sonic platform and usher in a new level of performance for the Paradigm brand.
“We were able to transform what began as a bold concept speaker into a renaissance for the brand,” said Paul Grove, SVP Global Sales and Marketing for Paradigm. “After receiving rave reviews about our Concept 4F, which debuted at Munich High End 2015, we knew we had something special, and the foundation to create the best sounding speakers we’ve ever produced.”
One of the keys to Persona’s luxury and value is the use of Beryllium, the absolute best diaphragm material, typically found only in speakers costing considerably more than Persona. Specifically formulated to be exponentially stiffer and significantly lighter than other premium diaphragm materials, beryllium enables superior transient response and virtual transparency, with low audible coloration.
Paradigm’s Persona is the only loudspeaker in its class to achieve this level of performance using Beryllium material for both midrange and tweeter drivers. Every model in the Persona Series features Truextent® Pure Beryllium driver systems, and each model achieves a truly unexpected level of high-resolution detail, depth and dynamics thanks in part to rare, extraordinary Beryllium.
“The creation of this series has been a true journey and allowed us to push the engineering limits of our technological capabilities at Paradigm,” said Oleg Bogdanov, Paradigm’s Director of Product Development. “Our team can’t wait for everyone to hear these speakers; it’s a series of which we’re incredibly proud.”
