Power & Performance

• Design: 6-driver (4 active, 2 passive), 3-way shallow enclosure in-wall LCR, Advanced SHOCK-MOUNT™ System
• Crossover: 3rd-order electro-acoustic at 2.8 kHz, 2nd-order electro-acoustic at 500 Hz
• Frequency Response (On-Axis): +/- 3 dB from 84 Hz – 22 kHz
• Frequency Response (30° Off-Axis): +/- 3 dB from 84 Hz – 19 kHz
• Sensitivity (Room / Anechoic): 94 dB / 91 dB
• Impedance: Compatible with 8 Ohms
• Low Frequency Extension: 65 Hz (DIN)
• Suitable Amplifier Power Range: 15 – 200 Watts
• Maximum Input Power: 130 Watts
• Performance: The Paradigm P5-LCR is the flagship "beast" of the CI Pro series, engineered to deliver the massive scale and impact of a high-end floorstanding speaker from a hidden in-wall format. With its 3-way coaxial architecture and a total of six drivers, it offers a level of pinpoint imaging and dynamic authority that is usually reserved for the elite Persona series. It is the definitive choice for the world’s most demanding dedicated home theaters where the speakers must be invisible, but the performance must be absolute. Hand-built in Canada, the P5-LCR is designed to anchor the front soundstage of flagship cinema rooms, providing effortless dialogue clarity and a pressurized bass foundation.

Audio Features & Drivers

• 1-inch AL-MAC™ Aluminum-Magnesium-Ceramic Tweeter: A proprietary high-frequency driver that combines the stiffness of ceramic with the speed of aluminum. It features RED™ (Reduced Edge Diffraction) technology and sits inside the PPA™ (Perforated Phase-Aligning) lens to ensure a smooth, transparent top end with ultra-wide dispersion.
• 6.5-inch AL-MAG™ Coaxial Midrange Driver: The tweeter is housed coaxially within the midrange cone, creating a "Point Source" acoustic center. This ensures that all critical frequencies arrive at the listener's ear at the exact same time, providing incredible imaging and a deep, three-dimensional soundstage.
• Two 6.5-inch CARBON-X™ Active Bass Drivers: These high-excursion woofers use mineral-infused carbon fiber for maximum rigidity. They feature long-throw voice coil motors and ART™ (Active Ridge Technology) surrounds for high power handling and visceral low-end impact.
• Two 6.5-inch CARBON-X™ Passive Radiators: By utilizing two passive radiators, the P5-LCR extends its bass response to a subterranean 65 Hz without requiring a ported cabinet. This allows for deep, authoritative bass while maintaining a slim 3.875-inch mounting depth.
• Advanced SHOCK-MOUNT™ System: Like the CI Elite series, every driver is mechanically decoupled from the chassis using an elastomer suspension system. This eliminates performance-robbing resonances and vibrations between the speaker and the wall, resulting in zero audible distortion.
• FEA-Optimized Ultra Rigid Cast-Aluminum Baskets: These heavy-duty baskets feature integrated heat sinks for higher power handling and reduced power compression during sustained high-output playback.

Streaming & Connectivity

• Nickel-Plated Spring-Loaded Binding Posts: Features high-integrity terminals with oversized wire holes, designed to accept high-gauge audiophile speaker cable or banana plugs for a secure, permanent in-wall connection.
• Screen Compensation Mode: Includes a dedicated switch (found in Elite-level models) that allows the installer to adjust the frequency response when the speaker is placed behind micro-perforated projection screens, ensuring high-frequency detail is never muffled.
• Professional Integration: Optimized to pair with flagship electronics like the Anthem® AVM series. When used with ARC® (Anthem Room Correction), the P5-LCR’s 6-driver array is digitally calibrated to remove room anomalies, providing a studio-neutral response.
• Integrated Acoustic Back-Box: A built-in enclosure that safeguards internal parts from debris while preventing sound "spillage" into adjacent rooms—essential for luxury residential theater installations.

Comfort & Dimensions

• Bezel-Free Micro-Perf Grille: Features a sleek, magnetically attached white grille that sits perfectly flush against the wall. The paintable surface allows the speaker to blend seamlessly into any designer interior.
• Extreme Scale: Measuring over 42 inches in height, the P5-LCR is designed to be the visual and acoustic equal of today's largest 85" and 100" displays.
• Overall Dimensions: 43" (109.2cm) Height x 9.5" (24.1cm) Width x 4.125" (10.5cm) Depth.
• Cut-Out Dimensions: 42" (106.6cm) Height x 8.5" (21.6cm) Width.
• Minimum Mounting Depth: 3.875" (9.8cm) — Engineered to fit precisely within a standard 2x4 stud wall despite its massive 6-driver array.
• Unit Weight: 29 lbs (13.2 kg) — A massive weight that reflects the high-density build quality and dual 6.5-inch magnet structures.

Design & Build

• CARBON-X™ Ingrained Baffle: The front baffle is constructed from a specialized carbon-ingrained material to provide an incredibly stable, resonance-free platform for the high-output 6-driver array.
• Pocketed Screw Holes: Specifically designed to hold the drill steady during installation, ensuring the high-strength aluminum clamps are secured properly for a vibration-free fit.
• Horizontal or Vertical Mounting: Symmetrical driver layout allows the P5-LCR to be used vertically for Left/Right channels or horizontally as a high-performance center channel, with a rotatable logo for aesthetic consistency.
• Hand-Built in Canada: Designed, engineered, and manufactured at Paradigm’s state-of-the-art facility in Ontario, ensuring the highest level of craftsmanship in the architectural market.
• NRC Research Heritage: Every performance metric was validated at the National Research Council (NRC), ensuring a realistically balanced listening experience backed by over 40 years of sound science.
