Paradigm Signature SIG-ADP Rectangular In-Wall 3-Way Dipole Surround Speaker v.2

For years Paradigm were asked to design their ADP (Adapted Dipole) technology around an in-wall application. The result was the the whole package: a large reverberant non-localised soundfield with full-range response supported by Paradigm’s Ultra-Rigid die-cast mounting system. The years of research and development paid off, with the SIG-ADP clearly outputting Paradigm Reference Signature sound ... the ultimate in reference quality sound.

ADP Technology: Surround Sound the Way it was Meant to be Heard!
Conventional forward-radiating speakers cannot reproduce movie theatre surround sound in your home. If they are loud enough for their sound to blend with the front speakers they draw attention to themselves. Turn them down so they don’t distract you and they won’t blend with the fronts. ADP reverberant surround/rear technology is a whole different story:

• Just like movie theatre speakers, Signature ADP technology envelops you in sound without drawing your attention away from the movie you’re watching;
• It adds size and dimension to the soundstage;
• It ensures a seamless transition when sounds and effects move from front and centre speakers to surround and rear speakers;
• It’s ideal for multichannel music too! The large non-localised soundfield adds multidimensional realism to the acoustic space.
