Paradigm Garden Oasis 4

The Paradigm GO4 is an outdoor speaker designed to deliver exceptional sound quality in outdoor environments. Combining durability, acoustic performance, and elegant design, this speaker pushes the boundaries of what is possible in outdoor sound.

A design tailored for the outdoors

The GO4 features a compact and discreet design that blends harmoniously into various outdoor settings. Its cylindrical PolyGlass casing, with a diameter of 13.4 cm and a depth of 20.3 cm, ensures a subtle presence while providing optimal protection against the elements. The satin bronze finish adds a touch of elegance that complements most outdoor décors.

The GO4’s design goes beyond aesthetics. Every element has been carefully crafted to withstand the rigors of outdoor environments. The PolyGlass casing offers exceptional resistance to weather, water, and UV rays, ensuring the speaker’s longevity even in challenging conditions.

High-performance acoustics

Despite its compact size, the GO4 delivers impressive sound performance. Its two-way system includes a 19 mm X-PAL dome tweeter for high frequencies and a 10 cm mid/bass driver with a mineral-filled polypropylene cone for mids and bass.

The frequency response ranges from 135 Hz to 20 kHz (±3 dB), providing faithful reproduction of most musical sources. While the bass frequencies are limited by the speaker’s size, the overall sound quality remains exceptional for outdoor use. For those seeking deeper bass response, Paradigm offers compatible outdoor subwoofers.

With a sensitivity of 87 dB (measured in-room), the GO4 can produce high sound levels with moderate amplification power. Recommended amplification power ranges from 15 to 120 watts, making this speaker compatible with a wide range of amplifiers and receivers.

Innovative technologies for superior sound

The GO4 incorporates several proprietary Paradigm technologies to optimize its acoustic performance. The RED (Reduced Edge Diffraction) technology is particularly noteworthy. It features a specially designed tweeter housing to reduce the negative effects of diffraction, thereby improving the reproduction of critical midrange frequencies, even in the challenging acoustic environment of the outdoors.

The X-PAL tweeter, with its pure anodized aluminum dome, offers an extended frequency response and wide dispersion, essential for uniform sound coverage outdoors. Ferrofluid damping and cooling contribute to the tweeter’s durability and longevity.

The mid/bass driver benefits from a nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) surround, a material chosen for its resistance to temperature and humidity variations. This feature ensures consistent performance in various weather conditions.

Remarkable installation flexibility

One of the GO4’s strengths lies in its installation versatility. Thanks to its “Quick Twist Cap” mounting system, the speaker can be easily attached to different supports: ground stakes, buried conduit boxes, or surface mounts for decks and walls.

This flexibility allows for optimal speaker placement to achieve the best possible sound coverage in your outdoor space. Whether you want to create a subtle musical ambiance in your garden or a more powerful audio system for your patio parties, the GO4 adapts to your needs.

A particularly interesting feature is the GO4’s compatibility with 70V/100V audio systems, commonly used in commercial installations. A rotary selector on the back of the speaker allows for easy switching between 8-ohm impedance and 70V/100V configurations, offering additional flexibility for more complex or scalable installations.

Unmatched durability

Durability is a crucial aspect for an outdoor speaker, and the GO4 excels in this area. Its PolyGlass casing is not only resistant to water and UV rays but also to extreme temperature variations. This robustness allows the GO4 to remain in place year-round, even in harsh climates.

The internal components have also been selected for their resilience. The NBR surround of the mid/bass driver, for example, retains its elasticity and acoustic performance despite changes in temperature and humidity. The tweeter, damped and cooled by ferrofluid, is designed to withstand intensive outdoor use.

This focus on durability translates into long-term reliability, reducing maintenance needs and ensuring consistent performance over the years.
