ABOUT PARADIGM
In the early 1980s Paradigm was just an idea in the minds of a couple of
twenty somethings who loved music. Unlike today,there was no 225,000
square-foot factory, no 36,000-cu.-ft. on-site anechoic measurement
chamber,justadesire to make really good sounding speakers and sell them
at a down to earth price.Today our speakers are sold on six continents.
We've been voted
#1 speaker brand 22 times* and fans scour the web to
buy used versions of ouroriginal speakers.That should tell you something
about Paradigm quality. In our SHIFT™ Series, we've taken everything we've
learned
about sound and adapted it for today's more casual listening
formats. For more info visit us: www.paradigm.com.
*Rated #1 Best Price/Value. InsideTrack Dealer Survey. An annual independent nationwide
survey of consumer electronics specialist retailers and custom installers.

Your Soundtrack System is a high-performance design loaded with
Paradigm technology. In other words, it's got loads of very cool stuff
you won't find in any other sound bar subwoofer system. For those
who salivate over technical details, we've also included aTech Specs
section in
the back of the manual to give you the skinny on why your
Soundtrack system sounds so good!
The difference the Soundtrack system will make to yourtelevision, music
and movies can't be
put into words, but you'll hear it and you'll feel it.
It's an experience
that takes you beyond a high performance system to a
place
where you're absolutely lost in the experience. It's the Paradigm
Difference. We guarantee you won't be able to keep that difference
asecret and we hopeyou don't.Spread the word. Talk aboutyour Paradigm
system.
BRAG about it. Play itand let others listen.
We're all differentand oursound should reflect that.Some
of us like music,
others love movies, others are
gaming enthusiasts and others enjoy all
of it. No matter who you are or where you live, what you like or what
you do, we wantto be The Official Sound of YOU™.
