Paradigm Founder 70LCR dark cherry

The smallest center channel option in the Founder series is also one of the most versatile. The 70LCR is not only designed to be used as a center channel where space is an issue, but it is equally competent when used as a main or surround channel. With equally stunning performance whether oriented vertically or horizontally, the 70LCR is the perfect solution for getting consistent, high-quality sound wherever you need it.

Every component, large and small, has been scrutinized down to the smallest detail. Each component has been carefully studied, designed and manufactured exclusively for Founder. New patented technologies have been developed for the acoustic platform. The new cabinet platform is not only a stunning design, its unique shape and integrated structural cross-bracing deliver acoustic performance that cannot be matched by traditional square boxes.

During an exhaustive process of research, design and engineering, Paradigm closely and carefully examined how speakers interact with their environment. The interior of a contemporary home presents design challenges that have become even more important over the past decade. Stone, glass and wood have become the materials of choice and open concepts dominate. The design of the Founder range has evolved with this trend and is perfectly suited to deliver its maximum performance in rooms that would challenge traditionally designed speakers.

Advanced Shock-Mount System

The midrange and woofer drivers in the Founder series are mechanically decoupled from the front baffle by an advanced SHOCK-MOUNT isolation mounting system. This special mounting hardware uses an elastomeric suspension to prevent any vibration transfer from the driver to the cabinet and from the cabinet to the driver. By eliminating resonance, the driver is free to deliver sound purely and efficiently without audible distortion and with maximum clarity.

Dual-Sync Continuous Flux Motor

The new Founder coaxial midrange driver found on the center channel uses the flattened spheroid shape of OSW with a coaxially mounted tweeter. It maintains detail and focus in the wide and deep soundstage by acting as the tweeter’s waveguide, making its dispersion characteristics ideal for any listening space.
