X-PAL™ Pure-Aluminum Dome Tweeter with Perforated Phase-Aligning (PPA™) Lens

The CI Elite E7-LCR V2 is equipped with Paradigm’s proprietary X-PAL™ Pure-Aluminum Dome Tweeter. This 1-inch tweeter is paired with a Perforated Phase-Aligning (PPA™) Lens, which helps to direct high frequencies for improved sound dispersion and more accurate audio reproduction. The PPA™ Lens also protects the tweeter while enhancing phase alignment, resulting in smoother, more detailed highs with minimal distortion. This is critical for delivering crisp dialogue and clear high-frequency effects in movies and music.

Co-PAL™ Cobalt-Infused Anodized Aluminum Midrange Drivers

In the midrange, the CI Elite E7-LCR V2 features dual Co-PAL™ (Cobalt-Infused Anodised Aluminum) midrange drivers. Each 7.5-inch driver is designed to provide precise and dynamic midrange frequencies, essential for reproducing vocals, instruments, and sound effects with clarity. The cobalt infusion enhances the aluminum’s strength, reducing distortion and allowing the drivers to maintain accurate sound reproduction even at higher volumes. This technology ensures that the speaker can handle the demands of modern audio formats, which often require precise and detailed midrange performance.

Carbon-X Unibody Bass Cones

For deep, controlled bass, the CI Elite E7-LCR V2 utilises dual Carbon-X unibody bass cones. These 7.5-inch cones are crafted from a single piece of carbon-infused material, providing the rigidity and lightness needed to produce impactful bass with minimal distortion. The unibody design ensures that the bass cones can deliver powerful low-frequency output without flexing or deformation, which is crucial for maintaining tight, accurate bass in both music and movie soundtracks. This feature makes the CI Elite E7-LCR V2 particularly well-suited for home theater environments where deep bass impact is essential.

Advanced Crossover Network

A well-designed crossover network is essential for ensuring seamless integration between a speaker’s drivers. The CI Elite E7-LCR V2 includes an advanced crossover network that optimises the frequency response of the tweeter, midrange drivers, and bass cones, resulting in a balanced and cohesive sound. The crossover is meticulously engineered to minimise phase distortion, ensuring that all frequencies are accurately reproduced. This precision is key to creating a realistic soundstage, allowing listeners to experience sound that is both immersive and lifelike.

Patented Active Ridge Technology (ART™) Surround

The CI Elite E7-LCR V2 features Paradigm’s patented Active Ridge Technology (ART™) Surround, which enhances the excursion capabilities of the speaker’s drivers. This technology allows the drivers to move more freely, resulting in greater output with reduced distortion. The ART™ Surround is constructed from a durable, specially formulated material that resists wear and tear, ensuring long-lasting performance. This innovation is particularly beneficial for reproducing deep bass and dynamic sound effects, making the CI Elite E7-LCR V2 an ideal choice for high-impact home theater applications.

Integrated Back Box

To ensure consistent performance regardless of the installation environment, the CI Elite E7-LCR V2 comes with an integrated back box. This back box creates a controlled acoustic environment for the drivers, preventing variations in wall construction or room acoustics from affecting the speaker’s performance. The back box also helps to isolate the speaker’s sound, reducing the transmission of audio into adjacent rooms. This feature is especially important in custom installations where maintaining consistent sound quality across different rooms is critical.

FEA-Optimised Motor Structure

The motor structure of the CI Elite E7-LCR V2 has been optimised using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to reduce distortion and improve efficiency. FEA is an advanced design process that allows Paradigm to fine-tune the speaker’s motor system for maximum linearity, resulting in cleaner, more accurate sound reproduction. The FEA-optimised motor structure also enables the speaker to handle high power levels without distortion, ensuring that it can deliver dynamic, lifelike sound even at high volumes.

The Paradigm CI Elite series represents the pinnacle of in-wall and in-ceiling speakers, engineered for audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts seeking top-tier performance. These speakers feature advanced technologies like X-PAL™ pure-aluminum tweeters with Perforated Phase-Aligning (PPA™) lens, Co-PAL™ midrange drivers, and Carbon-X unibody bass cones, delivering detailed, dynamic sound.

With features like an integrated back box and patented Active Ridge Technology (ART™) Surround, the CI Elite series ensures precise, immersive audio while seamlessly blending into any space. Ideal for high-performance home theater systems.
