Power & Performance

• Design: 5-driver (3 active, 2 passive), 2-way in-wall LCR, Advanced SHOCK-MOUNT™ System
• Crossover: 2nd-order electro-acoustic at 2.2 kHz
• Frequency Response (On-Axis): +/- 3 dB from 86 Hz – 22 kHz
• Frequency Response (30° Off-Axis): +/- 3 dB from 86 Hz – 19 kHz
• Sensitivity (Room / Anechoic): 93 dB / 90 dB
• Impedance: Compatible with 8 Ohms
• Low Frequency Extension: 66 Hz (DIN)
• Suitable Amplifier Power Range: 15 – 120 Watts
• Maximum Input Power: 90 Watts
• Performance: The Paradigm P3-LCR is the high-output sibling of the P1-LCR, designed for users who demand tower-speaker dynamics from a stealthy in-wall format. By utilizing a 5-driver array—comprising three active drivers and two massive passive radiators—it delivers a significant boost in sensitivity (93 dB) and low-end extension (66 Hz). This architecture allows it to move considerably more air, making it the definitive choice for larger home cinema rooms where the speaker must act as a powerful Left, Center, or Right channel. Hand-built in Canada, the P3-LCR offers the scale and authority required to reproduce the most demanding 4K Ultra HD soundtracks with effortless precision.

Audio Features & Drivers

• 1-inch AL-MAC™ Aluminum-Magnesium-Ceramic Tweeter: A specialized blend of materials that provides the stiffness of ceramic with the lightweight agility of aluminum. This "v2" driver platform offers staggering high-frequency realism and is naturally anti-resonant for a smoother, more detailed top end.
• Two 5.5-inch CARBON-X™ Active Mid/Bass Drivers: These drivers combine lightweight stiffness with high consistency. The carbon-infused cones ensure a greater degree of accuracy and a smooth, uncolored frequency response across the critical vocal range.
• Two 5.5-inch CARBON-X™ Passive Radiators: Unlike the P1-LCR, the P3-LCR adds two passive radiators to extend bass response. These allow the speaker to achieve deeper 66 Hz bass "slam" without the need for a larger cabinet or a port, maintaining an ultra-slim 4-inch mounting depth.
• PPA™ (Perforated Phase-Aligning) Tweeter Lens: Paradigm's signature technology that smooths out-of-phase frequencies while protecting the delicate AL-MAC™ dome. This ensures that the high-frequency "sweet spot" is wide enough to cover an entire row of theater seating.
• RED™ (Reduced Edge Diffraction) Technology: The tweeter is housed in a die-cast aluminum assembly that significantly reduces the adverse effects of diffraction while acting as a heat sink to improve power handling and lower the crossover point for better blending.
• ART™ (Active Ridge Technology) Surrounds: Patented overmolded surrounds are bonded directly to the active and passive cones. This allows for 50% greater excursion, resulting in a 3 dB gain in distortion-free output compared to speakers with standard surrounds.

Streaming & Connectivity

• Nickel-Plated Spring-Loaded Binding Posts: Features heavy-duty terminals with oversized wire holes to accept higher-gauge speaker wire or banana plugs, ensuring a secure, audiophile-grade connection within the wall cavity.
• Advanced SHOCK-MOUNT™ System: Mechanically decouples the die-cast aluminum baskets from the chassis. This prevents performance-robbing vibrations from being transferred into the drywall, resulting in a cleaner soundstage and better midrange definition.
• Professional Integration: Optimized for high-current amplification. When paired with Anthem® electronics, the P3-LCR benefits from ARC® (Anthem Room Correction) to perfectly calibrate the five-driver array to your room's specific acoustics.
• Precision Crossover Components: Utilizes high-power rated resistors, capacitors, and heavy-gauge wire inductors to maintain signal purity and ensure long-term reliability during high-output cinematic playback.

Comfort & Dimensions

• Bezel-Free Micro-Perf Grille: Features a sleek, magnetically attached white grille that sits flush against the wall, providing a clean, "hidden" look that can be painted to match any room color.
• Ultra-Rigid Cast-Aluminum Baskets: FEA-optimized baskets feature integrated heat sinks for higher power handling, resulting in better dynamics and less power compression during intense action scenes.
• Overall Dimensions: 32" (81.3cm) Height x 7.625" (19.4cm) Width x 4.125" (10.5cm) Depth.
• Cut-Out Dimensions: 31" (78.7cm) Height x 6.625" (16.8cm) Width.
• Minimum Mounting Depth: Requires 3.875" (9.8cm) of clearance—specifically designed to fit within a standard 2x4 stud wall.
• Unit Weight: 19 lbs (8.6 kg) — The substantial weight is a result of the extensive driver array and heavy-duty die-cast aluminum chassis.

Design & Build

• CARBON-X™ Ingrained Baffle: The baffle is constructed from a specialized carbon-ingrained material to provide an incredibly stable, resonance-free platform for the high-output 5-driver array.
• Die-Cast Aluminum Clamps: Unlike standard plastic mounting tabs, the P3-LCR uses die-cast aluminum clamps to add strength and rigidity for a more secure, vibration-free installation.
• Pocketed Screw Holes: Specifically designed to hold the drill steady during installation, making the process faster and ensuring a professional, level fit every time.
• Horizontal or Vertical Mounting: The symmetrical driver layout allows the P3-LCR to be mounted vertically for Left/Right channels or horizontally as a high-performance center channel.
• Hand-Built in Canada: Designed, engineered, and manufactured at Paradigm’s state-of-the-art facility in Ontario, ensuring a level of build quality that mass-produced in-wall speakers cannot match.
