When removing the speaker from the carton, ensure belt buckles, rings or other jewellery do not come into contact with the speaker and scratch the finish.3 GENERAL TIPS Break-In Although Paradigm Prestige 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. NOTE: If your speakers have been transported or stored in the cold, let them warm to room temperature before use. Cleaning Prestige 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.

PREVENTING SPEAKER DAMAGE

Paradigm Prestige speakers are efficient and can be driven to loud listening levels with moderate amplifier power. They are also able to handle the output of very powerful amplifiers. To prevent damage to your speakers, please read the following guidelines before hooking them up. Amplifier Distortion — The #1 Culprit! Amplifier distortion is the principal cause of speaker damage. When listening at loud levels your amplifier may run out of clean power. It will then begin to produce distorted power several times greater than its rated output power. This will damage any brand of speaker very quickly! (Ask your Dealer for amplifier recommendations.) More Powerful Amplifiers are Safer A 40 watt/channel amplifier will have substantial distortion above 40 watts. If driven to 50 watts, this amplifier will deliver distorted power—which will damage the speaker! A 100 watt/channel amplifier will have substantial distortion above 100 watts, but very low distortion below 100 watts. Therefore, when the speaker requires 50 watts, this more powerful amplifier will deliver clean power and speaker damage is less likely to occur. Volume Control Do not be fooled by the Volume Control of your receiver/preamplifier. It only adjusts listening level—it is not a “power-output” dial. The amount of amplifier power actually used at a given Volume Control setting depends solely on the nature of the music you are listening to. At a given Volume Control setting a quiet section of music will use less amplifier power than a loud section. With typical pop-rock, jazz or large scale classical music, the rated output power of many receivers/amplifiers is often reached when the Volume Control is between the “11 and 1 o’clock” settings (with bass/treble and loudness controls not used—otherwise rated power may be reached at even lower Volume Control settings).4 PREVENTING SPEAKER DAMAGE (continued) Remember, all amplifiers produce distortion when operated beyond their rated output power. The resulting distortion will damage all speakers! Exercise caution! If you listen at loud levels, be careful to listen for the point of audible distortion—if the speakers begin to sound distressed turn the Volume Control down or your speakers and/or amplifier(s) will be damaged! This type of damage constitutes abuse and is not covered by the warranty. If louder volumes are desired, obtain a more powerful amplifier. There is a Limit! Although more powerful amplifiers are safer, there is a point at which you could have more power than the speaker can handle. At that point you will overpower the speaker and damage it. Exercise caution! At loud levels do not increase bass/treble controls from zero and ensure that all loudness/contour/bass EQ buttons are off (otherwise rat- ed output power will be reached at lower volume control settings). If you listen at loud levels, watch for excessive visible cone excursion (grille movement) from the woofer— then turn the Volume Control down. The Right Amount of Power A power-range rating is given as a guide to indicate the approximate minimum and maximum power input of your Paradigm Prestige speakers. Amplifiers that exceed your speaker’s power-range rating are recommended. Their greater power reserves provide better sound. However, exercise caution! Use the speakers within their power-range rating to prevent damage (keep listening levels below the point of excessive woofer cone excursion).

Paradigm Prestige speakers are designed to provide superior high-end sound in a wide variety of domestic settings. However, it is important to note that listening room construction, dimensions and furnishings all play a part in the quality of sound you will ultimately achieve. Your listening room will impose its own character on the performance capabilities of any speaker system. The extra care you take in correctly positioning the speakers will result in greater listening enjoyment. Keep the following guidelines in mind when deciding on the best.

• Mid and high frequencies are affected by the amount of soft furnishings in your room—curtains, carpets, sofas, wall coverings, etc. An excess of such items can result in a somewhat dull sound. The same room without any soft furnishings can produce a bright overall sound. The typical quantity of soft furnishings found in most living situations provide the right acoustic characteristics to allow the speakers to sound balanced;

• Concrete floors and walls tend to aggravate low-frequency standing wave problems and are less preferred;

• Rooms where height, width and length are similar should be avoided as they can exhibit significant low-frequency standing wave problems. This may result in reduced clarity. If no other room is possible, experiment with speaker placement to minimize acoustic problems.5 STAND MOUNTING (optional) The Paradigm Prestige 55C and Prestige 45C center channel speakers can be mounted to Paradigm’s J-18C stand if desired. Ask your Paradigm dealer for details. Stand Mounting a Center Channel Speaker (Prestige 55C Shown)6

ATTACHING BUMPER PADS TO BOOKSHELF/CENTER/

SURROUND SPEAKERS Bookshelf and Center Speakers Self-adhesive bumper pads (included) should be applied to the bottom corners of Paradigm Prestige bookshelf and center-channel speakers (see illustrations below) when placed on a shelf or other flat surface. This will isolate your speakers from the solid surface, improving overall sound quality. NOTE: As an alternative, you may choose to stand mount your Paradigm Prestige 15B bookshelf speakers using Paradigm stands. Ask your Paradigm dealer for details. Surround Speakers As an option, you may choose to apply the self-adhesive bumper pads to the back of the Paradigm Prestige 25S surround speaker. This application prevents acoustic resonance from the wall your speaker is mounted to. Bookshelf Speaker (Prestige 15B Shown) Center Channel Speaker (Prestige 55C Shown) IMPORTANT! To prevent damage to your speaker’s finish, place the top side of your speaker on a soft surface (rug, blanket, etc.) before applying the bumper pads to the bottom side corners.7

PLACEMENT: FRONT LEFT & RIGHT SPEAKERS

Pardigm Prestige front speakers are designed to allow flexible placement while providing a very large window of sound throughout your listening room. To ensure the best performance possible we strongly recommend that you observe the placement guidelines on the following pages … Ideal placement of left and right speakers OR8 PLACEMENT: FRONT LEFT & RIGHT SPEAKERS (continued) Accurate Timbre For the most accurate and natural timbre, place front speakers so that their high- frequency drivers are approximately at ear level, as shown below. Placing bookshelf models on Paradigm speaker stands (sold separately) or bookshelves raises their high-frequency drivers to approximately ear level, thereby ensuring the best performance possible. 8” (20 cm) 8po (20 cm) 3/4 “x” “x”9 Balanced Bass Placing front speakers in corners will over-emphasize bass and reduce overall clarity. Avoid corner placement. Position front speakers 8 in (20 cm) or more from the wall behind the speaker and as much as possible from either side wall, as shown below. This will ensure better bass performance and optimal midrange clarity. 8 in (20 cm) or more As far away from the wall as possible10 PLACEMENT: FRONT LEFT & RIGHT SPEAKERS (continued) Optimal Imaging Measure the distance from your main listening area to the front speakers (“X”). For best imaging, place speakers from three-quarters of that distance up to that same distance from each other (3/4 of “X” to “X”), as shown. To further optimize imaging, toe speakers slightly inward so they point toward the listening position with their axes crossing just behind it, as shown. Optional On-Wall Mounting of Front Speakers Follow the directions for placement given under “Optimal Imaging” above and use the mounting instructions provided with your mounting brackets (sold separately) to safely and securely mount your speakers on the wall. 8” (20 cm) 8po (20 cm) 3/4 “x” “x”11

PLACEMENT: CENTER SPEAKER

Paradigm Prestige Series center channel speakers are designed to cover a large, wide listening area, allowing listeners throughout the room to hear center-channel information with unprecedented clarity and intelligibility. Placing your center-channel speaker below (or above) the TV will ensure the best possible clarity and intelligibility. Position the speaker flush with the front of the TV or speaker shelf to minimize unwanted sound reflections. Make sure the center- channel is approximately the same distance away from the primary listening position as your front speakers. (Some A/V receivers/processors can electronically adjust for differences in distance.)12

Position one speaker on each side of the listening area, as shown below.

7.1 Surround Configuration (adds two rear speakers to a typical 5.1 surround configuration)

Position speakers behind the listening area—one speaker slightly right and the other slightly left, as shown. Wall Mounting For wall mounting instructions for the Paradigm Prestige 25S, refer to the Wall Mounting Instructions included with the speaker. Stand Mounting For stand mounting instructions for the Paradigm Prestige 25S, refer to the Stand Mounting Instructions included with an optional Paradigm J-Series stand. Ask your Paradigm dealer for details. 90˚ 110˚ 90˚ 110˚13 SPEAKER CONNECTION For optimum sound, the use of high quality speaker cable is essential. The chart below identifies the minimum gauge requirements for various lengths (See your Dealer for recommendations). IMPORTANT! Turn your amplifier(s) OFF before connecting your speakers. This will avoid damage which could result from accidental shorting of speaker cables.

16 awg 14 awg 12 awg14 SPEAKER CONNECTION (continued) Standard Connection for Prestige 15B Your speakers’ binding posts can be used with banana, pin or spade connectors, as well as with bare wire. Tighten the posts firmly by hand but do not over tighten! Correct polarity (or phase) is critical for proper soundstage imaging and bass performance. Connect one speaker at a time to ensure proper connection of every channel. The red (+) amplifier terminal must be connected to the red (+) speaker terminal. The same applies to the black (–) terminals. Make sure all wires are firmly fastened. Repeat this connection procedure for each speaker in your system. NOTE: If you hear a distinct lack of bass and a dislocated stereo image then one or more of your speakers may be connected out of phase (polarity is reversed). Re-check to ensure that each speaker’s cable is connected with correct polarity: red (+) to red (+) and black (–) to black (–). -+15 Standard Connection for All Speakers (Except Prestige 15B) All Paradigm Prestige speakers (except Prestige 15B) have two sets of input terminals connected externally with jumper bars. These speakers can be bi-wired or bi-amplified to achieve even better performance. For standard connection of speakers with two input terminals, leave the jumper bars attached and connect using either set of input terminals. DO NOT attempt to bi-wire or bi-amplify speakers unless you have removed the jumper bars. -+16 SPEAKER CONNECTION (continued) Bi-Wire Connection Bi-wiring can improve clarity and openness with less grain and more solidity to the bass. Two speaker cables are required for each speaker that is bi-wired.

BEFORE BI-WIRING17 Bi-Amp Connection IMPORTANT! When bi-amping, always use amplifiers with identical gain. If uniform amplifier gain is not maintained the speaker-to-speaker balance will be incorrect when vertically bi-amped, or the speaker system’s frequency balance will be incorrect when horizontally bi-amped. To prevent problems, use identical amplifiers (brand and model). Make sure they are operating in the same non-bridged or bridged mode.

BEFORE BI-AMPING18 SPEAKER CONNECTION (continued) Passive bi-amping offers a dramatic improvement in clarity, openness and detail, with much better bass solidity and definition. The presentation of music and movie soundtracks is simply more intelligible and transparent. With passive bi-amping, the speaker’s internal passive crossovers remain connected. An external electronic crossover is not required and cannot be used (there is no direct electrical access to individual drive units). This saves expense and setup difficulties. Passive bi-amping optimizes your speaker to achieve the best possible high-end performance. To bi-amplify, two power amplifiers are required. Connection can be either vertical or horizontal. Horizontal Bi-Amplification Horizontal Bi-Amplification (shown on previous page) dedicates one amplifier to your speakers’ mid/low-frequency inputs and another to their high-frequency inputs. This configuration can maintain better clarity when listening at loud levels—if low-frequency demands cause amplifier clipping, distortion will still be kept away from high-frequency drivers. Connect your speakers to one amplifier at a time. Vertical Bi-Amplification Vertical Bi-Amplification (not shown) dedicates one amplifier to each speaker. This configuration provides complete channel separation, which optimizes your system’s imaging ability. Connect your speakers to one amplifier at a time. FINE TUNING Once you have your speakers positioned in the room and have set speaker distances and calibrated speaker levels through your A/V Processor or A/V Receiver, it’s time for a little fine tuning. Following the instructions in this Owner’s Manual, once you have your speakers positioned in the room and have set speaker distances and speaker level calibration with your A/V Processor or A/V Receiver, it’s time for a little fine tuning. Since Paradigm Prestige

speakers are designed to provide exceptional high-end performance in a variety of room settings, fine tuning is simply a matter of making slight adjustments to their placement in the room, if necessary. Start with just the front speakers and listen to familiar music in stereo. The soundstage will be both wide and deep, but this can be tuned to your personal preference by adjusting the toe-in (the amount the speakers are turned toward the listening area). More toe-in will increase image depth and localization; less toe-in will increase image width. Adjust the toe-in in small increments, listening each time, until you achieve the soundstage balance you prefer. Toe-in is not applicable to the other speakers in your system since their position and sound distribution pattern is fixed. Fine tuning for the center channel is simply a matter of making level adjustments that may be required for any particular multichannel music or movie program. If required, adjust A/V Processor or A/V Receiver levels to ensure that there is always a cohesive overall soundstage.19 To Fine tune surround/rear speakers, please follow the illustrations in the earlier section. To Fine tune the subwoofer, please refer to the Owner’s Manual that was included with your subwoofer.
