Highlights & Benefits

• True LCR versatility — designed to perform beautifully as a center channel or as a vertically oriented main or surround speaker.
• Sealed enclosure precision — the acoustic suspension design supports tight, controlled bass and excellent placement flexibility, especially in more demanding room layouts.
• Advanced tweeter platform — the 1" AL-MAC™ ceramic dome tweeter uses Paradigm’s waveguide and lens technologies for refined detail, controlled dispersion, and strong imaging.
• Dedicated midrange clarity — the 6" AL-MAG™ cone midrange with SHOCK-MOUNT™ isolation helps preserve vocal intelligibility and tonal realism.
• Dual bass driver authority — two 5.5" Carbon-X unibody woofers provide excellent punch, composure, and dynamic confidence from a cabinet this size.
• Premium flexibility without compromise — the Paradigm Founder 70LCR Center/Surround Speaker (each) is ideal for high-performance systems that demand both architectural versatility and true audiophile-grade engineering.

Technology & Design

Founder Series driver technology — Paradigm equips this model with an AL-MAC™ tweeter, AL-MAG™ midrange, and Carbon-X bass drivers to achieve a presentation that is clean, detailed, and dynamically capable without sounding forced.

Advanced dispersion control — the tweeter uses an Oblate Spheroid Waveguide and Perforated Phase-Aligning lens to improve output control, reduce distortion, and maintain more stable imaging across a wider listening area.

Rigid cabinet and isolation engineering — sealed cabinet architecture, internal bracing, and SHOCK-MOUNT™ driver isolation all contribute to lower mechanical interference and better preservation of low-level detail.

In a carefully matched system, the Paradigm Founder 70LCR Center/Surround Speaker (each) delivers exceptional clarity, tonal balance, and output consistency regardless of whether it is used across the front stage or in surround positions.
