      If you are not getting sound from one or more of your Paradigm speakers, verify the following: 1. Check the balance control on your receiver or amplifier. 2. Ensure that all power cords are properly plugged in and functioning. 3. Try swapping a non-working speaker with one that works to see if the problem lies with the speaker itself, or with something else like the wiring or amplifier.

    Why do my Paradigm SE Speakers have no bass or dislocated image?
    • C
      Calvin LongAug 15, 2025
      If your Paradigm speakers lack bass or the image seems dislocated, it might be due to one or more speakers being connected out of phase. Double-check that each speaker cable is connected with the correct polarity, ensuring that the red (+) terminal on the amplifier or receiver is connected to the red (+) terminal on the speaker, and the black (-) terminal is connected to the black (-) terminal.
