Paradigm DSP-3100 10" Front Firing Subwoofer

"With solid, extended bass response ... you can't ask for much more ... one of the best subs I've heard", Gary Altunian, About.com review of the DSP-3200

• Single driver, Bass-reflex
• Dual high-velocity low-turbulence resistive ports
• Built-in High-Power Class-D Amplifier
• USB Port / PBK Interface
• 600 watts Dynamic Peak / 200 watts RMS

The high-power DSP Series subwoofers are the result of Paradigm’s multi-year R&D effort to achieve exceptional high performance while accommodating the growing desire for installation flexibility. Not everyone wants a high-performance subwoofer on full display, so models are front-firing and front-ported with removable grilles, making them ideal for “hidden” installations.

For those who want it all … exceptional high performance (including the sonic benefits of digital signal processing!), a smaller footprint, and flexible placement options, the DSP-3100 subwoofer fits the bill.

Control Facilities:

• Auto On/Off
• Subwoofer Level
• Subwoofer Cut-Off Frequency (continuously variable 35 Hz – 150 Hz); Bypass Option
• Sub/Sat Phase Alignment (0° to 180°)
• USB Port/PBK Interface

Input Facilities:

• Line-level Inputs

Advanced High-Power Class-D™ Amplifiers deliver massive amounts of high-current power with minimal distortion. 900 watts Dynamic Peak / 300 watts RMS.

Forward-Firing Drivers with Advanced CAP™ Carbon / Aramid-Fiber Polypropylene Cones. Advanced cone material combines exceptional stiffness/low mass with excellent internal damping for tremendous freedom from unwanted resonances.

Advanced Suspension Design and Large Magnet Structures encourage extended cone excursion while maintaining superb control over cone movement.

High-Efficiency Dual-Ported Design. High-velocity low-noise ports with critically flared openings serve to reduce turbulence distortion. Front-ported design accommodates installation flexibility.

Removable Grilles with SVS™ Slot Ventilation System allow release of the enormous air pressure generated by these high-output designs.

Acoustically Inert MDF Enclosures serve to limit unwanted panel resonances and vibrations, ensuring clean, clear and very articulate bass performance.
