PARADIGM® ELECTRONICS ANNOUNCES NEW, ENHANCED CINEMAT LOUDSPEAKERS

Tiny speakers pack incredible sound; make home theater possible for even the smallest rooms and budgets.

ONTARIO, CANADA - FALL 2001 - Paradigm® Electronics announces exciting changes to their popular and award-winning CinemaT series of palm-sizedT home theater speakers. Cinema has impressed critics and consumers alike and the revamped line promises even better performance, style and sound.

Although each piece may be purchased separately, Paradigm Cinema is now available in two basic configurations, the Cinema 90 and Cinema 70 systems, each comprised of four identical satellite speakers, a center channel and a subwoofer. Either system blends naturally into any home décor because of their unassuming appearance and subtle styling. Cinema puts many home-theater-in-a-box systems to shame by supplying sound quality to satisfy even the keenest home theater enthusiast's tastes. Each speaker in the system employs MagneShieldT, so Cinema can be used safely with any computer or home theater, while enhancing any television, gaming, DVD or music listening experience.

Paradigm has improved the technology behind Cinema by using new materials for the bass/midrange and high-frequency drivers, resulting in cleaner sound and higher power output.

Cinema 90 boasts a 4-1/2-inch polypropylene cone bass/midrange driver and a 5/8-inch coated-polymer-composite (CPCT) dome tweeter. The Cinema CC has two 4-1/2-inch polypropylene cone bass/midrange drivers and a 5/8-inch CPC dome tweeter. The powerful performance of the PDR-10 is more than prepared for the challenging dynamics of a home theater environment, pumping out 100 watts RMS of smooth, deep bass through its 10-inch carbon-fiber-reinforced cone. Cinema 70 is an even smaller high-performance package, manufactured with the same high quality parts. The speakers consist of 3-1/2-inch bass/midrange drivers, 5/8-inch high frequency drivers and a PDR-8 subwoofer rounds out the system.

The Cinema 90 and Cinema 70 are available in black, white or silver and retail for $936 and $716, respectively. Individual speaker prices are $229/pair for Cinema 90, $149/pair for Cinema 70, $129 for Cinema CC. The PDR-8 is $299 and the PDR-10 is $349.

With advanced technology built on Paradigm's long tradition of award-winning high-end designs, the Paradigm Cinema systems deliver exceptional audiophile sound with palm-sized speakers that easily fit any living space. As a recognized leader in high-performance speaker design, Paradigm has what it takes to build great sounding speakers. Innovative design, advanced materials and state-of-the-art engineering have made Paradigm an international leader in speaker design.
