Paradigm MilleniaOne Manual de usuario

Thanks for choosing Paradigms! And congrats! It’s obvious you have great taste since you’ve chosen the world’s

#1 Speaker Brand! We’re not blowing smoke, we’ve been voted #1 twenty times* (the only speaker manufacturer in

the world that can claim that achievement!).

Your MilleniaOne system is part of Paradigm’s ‘Reference’ collection … cool style and superb quality that includes ‘cost

no object’ technology at below what you’d pay for any other genuine high-end speakers with this much cool stuff.For

those who salivate over techy details, we included a Technology Tidbit section and Specs for the skinny on why your

system sounds soooo good!

The difference MilleniaOne will make to your music and home theater experience can’t be put into words, but you’ll

hear it and you’ll

feel

it. It’s an experience that takes you beyond five hot little speakers to a place where you’re

absolutely lost in the music or movie you’re watching.Paradigm speakers put you in the moment and keep you there!

We guarantee you won’t be able to keep that difference a secret. In fact,we hope you don’t. Spread the word! Talk

about your Paradigms. BRAG about them! Play your Paradigms and let others listen! Our mission is to rid the world of

bad sound … and by ‘bad’ we mean the kind you find in a ‘five-speakers-in-box’ promo at your local big box store.

The Paradigm experience is a glorious one, but to make sure you get every note, nuance and scrumptious detail of

that ‘glorious,’ read this manual and follow all instructions. If you still have questions, contact your dealer or visit

the Q&A page on our website at www.paradigm.com.

How to avoid causing my Paradigms pain!

Use an appropriate amplifier. At high volumes, a very powerful amplifier can overdrive your Paradigms and damage

them.On the other hand,if your amplifier isn’t powerful enough,it can produce clipping distortion that can easily damage

high-frequency drivers.

(See your dealer for info on choosing the right amplifier … we recommend an Anthem amplifier.)

Don’t be fooled by the volume control. Your amp’s volume control adjusts listening level—it doesn’t indicate power

output. If your Paradigms begin to sound harsh or grating,or if you hear the bass breaking up,turn the volume down right

away or you’ll damage them.

Tone controls and equalizers can demand even more power from an amp,lowering the point at which it produces

clipping distortion. Use them sparingly, if at all, and don’t use them when listening at loud levels.

Break-In

Although your Paradigms will sound great right out of the

carton, they will sound even better when broken in. Let

them operate for several hours before you listen critically.

High-frequency drivers use ferro-fluid that can thicken at

temperatures below 10°C (50°F), so if the speakers have

been transported or stored in the cold, allow them to

warm to room temperature before you listen.

Cleaning

Use a damp (not wet!) soft cloth to clean. Never use a

strong or abrasive cleaner on your Paradigms—you’ll ruin

that fabulous finish.

The Room’s Effect

Your Paradigms will deliver sensational sound almost any-

where. However,it’s important to note that listening room

construction, room dimensions and even your furniture

play a part in the quality of sound. Keep the following

guidelines in mind:

• Mid and high frequencies are affected by the amount

of curtains,carpets,sofas, wall coverings,etc.An excess

of the soft stuff can result in a dull sound, but don’t start

tossing things because typically,the furnishings found in

most living rooms provide the right acoustic character-

istics to allow the speakers to sound balanced;

• Concrete floors and walls aggravate low-frequency

standing wave problems so 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.

Table Stands or Wall Brackets?

It’s up to you … we’ve included both.You can put your Paradigms on a

pedestal (where they deserve to be!) or like the gorgeous works of art

they are, you can mount them on the wall (also a deserving choice!).

See the illustrations later in this manual for everything you need to know

about attaching the stands and wall brackets.

Placement

FRONTS (LEFT/RIGHT)

On Stands (see illustration at right)

For the most accurate timbral balance,place your front speakers so that

their high-frequency drivers (tweeters) point toward the listening area

and sound arrives at approximately ear level. Follow the guidelines for

distance on the illustration at right.

On-Wall (see illustration at right)

Follow the placement directions above and refer to the guidelines for

distance on the illustration at right.

TIP! Stands and brackets are designed to let you tilt your L/R Paradigms

either slightly up or down for optimal clarity.

CENTER SPEAKER

On Stand (see illustration at right)

Place the center speaker on its stand below the display so that sound arrives

as close to ear level as possible. Speaker should sit about the same distance

away from the listening area as the other front speakers. Some receivers and

processors electronically adjust for differences in distance between speakers

… check to see if yours does.

On-Wall (see illustration at right)

Place the center speaker above or below the display, whichever position

brings sound closest to ear level. It should sit about the same distance away

from the main listening areas as the front speakers. See note above about

electronic adjustment for distance.

TIP! The stand and bracket allow you to tilt the center speaker slightly up or down

for optimal clarity and dialog intelligibility.

SURROUND SPEAKERS

On Table Stands or on the Wall (see illustration below)

For realistic surround sound,keep these speakers well away from the listening area.

Take ‘surround’ to the max without maxing out your plastic!

If you want to maximize the surround experience,for a very reasonable cost you can

add two MilleniaOne rear speakers

(purchase these from your dealer).
