Break-In
Although Paradigm
®
Reference speakers sound great “out of the carton,”
they will sound even better once they are “broken in.” Allow them to play
for several hours before you begin any critical listening.
High-frequency and midrange drivers use ferro-fluid that can thicken at
temperatures below 10° C (50° F). Surround material used in the bass/
midrange driver units is made of a compound that may stiffen in colder
temperatures. If your speakers have been transported or stored in the cold,
let them warm to room temperature before use.
Cleaning
Paradigm
®
Reference speakers have a durable premium finish. To clean,
use a damp soft cloth. Do not use a strong or abrasive cleaner. Avoid
getting any part of the speaker system wet. Do not place wet objects
(drinking glasses, potted plants, etc.) on top of the speakers—if allowed to
soak in, even a small amount of water may permanently damage the
speaker enclosure.
Speaker Grilles
Paradigm
®
Reference speakers are meant to be played with their grilles on.
These grilles are designed to eliminate edge diffraction—the sound reflections
that occur at the outer edges of the front of the enclosure which interfere
with the drivers’ primary sound output. The grille frames fit flush to each
driver and have rounded outer edges to ensure that driver output does not
encounter hard reflective edges.
Floorstanding Spikes
Isolation spikes are an option included with Paradigm
®
Reference
floorstanding models. We highly recommend installing these spikes as
they will improve the sound of your speakers by isolating them from the
floor. The most convenient time to install spikes is during the unpacking
process. Refer to the Unpacking Instructions Pictorial on page 2.
