INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW
Thank you—the Paradigm owner, for loving what we
do, and making it possible for us to do what we love.
Paradigm’s dedicated in-house engineering and
design team developed the PW SOUNDBAR to
deliver exceptional multi-channel performance
from a single system that easily integrates
and installs in a diverse variety of environ-
ments—whether table or wall mounted. The
PW SOUNDBAR produces an enveloping field of
richly detailed audio for both music and movies
via nine high-performance drivers and seven
channels of dedicated amplification representing
100 watts of total system power.
Advanced digital signal processing technol-
ogy allows Paradigm to replace five dedicated
home theater speakers with a one piece solution
capable of reproducing multi-channel recordings
with unflinching accuracy, resolution, and detail—
the inspiration behind every Paradigm design.
The PW SOUNDBAR reproduces front left, right,
and center channels via the system’s dedicated
tweeters and woofers. Surround channels are
simulated using sophisticated digital signal
processing that directs sound from the system’s
tweeters and woofers throughout the room.
Additionally, for a fully authentic surround
sound experience, the PW SOUNDBAR’s built in
subwoofer wireless transmitter and subwoofer
wireless receiver makes connecting a dedicated
subwoofer as simple as the push of a button.
A suite of wireless streaming technologies,
including DTS Play-Fi
®
, AirPlay, and Bluetooth
®
,
guarantees compatibility with
wireless streaming
applications.
Anthem
®
Room Correction (ARC) allows you to
analyze the acoustic response of your listening
environment and adjust output of the soundbar
for optimal performance.
The simple remote control quickly adjusts volume
and selects inputs. The remote also allows you
to easily switch between three discrete acoustic
modes—’Night’ mode (to dial down the bass),
‘Bass+’ mode (for those moments requiring a
little extra thunder), and a ‘Normal’ mode that
restores normal levels.
PLACEMENT AND MOUNTING
LOCATION
We recommend locating the soundbar centered
directly above or below your video display.
The soundbar menu allows you to optimize
acoustic performance for either ‘on-wall’ or
‘on-shelf’ installations. You will learn more
about accessing these options in the “Controls”
section of this manual.
INSTALLING ON A FLAT SURFACE
If you have a surface that provides a wide, level,
and stable platform (such as a table or audio/video
rack), the soundbar can be placed directly on top.
When installing the system in this configuration,
use the soundbar’s menu system to choose
‘Installation > Shelf Mount’.
Please note:
This speaker is not magnetically
shielded and should not be placed directly beneath
or on top of a CRT television. The magnetic field
will not affect plasma and LCD style televisions.
