Garden Oasis speakers are scalable. Unlike many other systems, you can start with just a pair of satellites and a subwoofer, and expand the system as your needs change, or as your budget allows. Garden Oasis can fit any size space, large or small, for ultimate flexibility.

Quick Connect System

Mount the speakers on the ground, on a deck rail, in a tree, or under an eave. The half-inch threaded “Quick Twist Cap” mount works universally with all three speaker mounts:Ground Stake, wire-protecting Inground Conduit Box, orSurface Mount for decks and walls. These mounting options give you the flexibility to “plant” these satellites anywhere to get the sound coverage you desire.

Reduced Edge Diffraction (RED™) Technology

Patent-pending RED Technology consists of a tweeter housing that significantly reduces the negative effects of diffraction, while improving critical midrange frequencies even in the expansive outdoor environment. Its irregular edges and off-center placement break up the performance-robbing standing waves typically generated by traditional woofer cone and tweeter housing designs.

Off-Season Cover

Winter can be harsh, but we’ve got you covered…literally! Protect your speakers during the off-season with water-tight rubber covers.

Rotary Selector Switch

The rotary selector switch on the rear of each GO4 or GO6 speaker is easily accessed, allowing for quick conversion from 8-Ohm to 70/100V configurations.

Crown Amplifier with Custom Paradigm Audio Settings for Garden Oasis

How easy is it to power your Garden Oasis speaker system? The scalable Garden Oasis system can be powered using the Crown Amplifier, which is available direct from Paradigm. The Crown Amplifier comes pre-loaded with the correct settings to accommodate a multitude of speaker setups.

Crossover: 150 Hz Low-pass (Recommended)
Frequency Response (On-Axis): +/- 3 dB from 28 Hz – 120 Hz
Sensitivity (Room / Anechoic): 91 dB / 85 dB
Impedance: Compatible with 8 Ohms
Low Frequency Extension: 24 Hz (DIN)
Suitable Amplifier Power Range: 15 – 1000 Watts
Maximum Input Power: 500 Watts
Performance: The Paradigm Garden Oasis Sub 12 is the ultimate heavyweight of the Garden Oasis landscape series. Engineered for large-scale estates and wide-open outdoor venues, it utilizes a massive 12-inch driver to deliver a subterranean 24 Hz extension. By burying the bulk of the 3-foot enclosure underground, the GO12SW provides the visceral "thump" of a high-end indoor theater sub while remaining virtually invisible to the eye. It is the definitive choice for those who want to "rock the ground" beneath their feet, providing enough displacement to fill the most expansive backyards with rich, high-fidelity bass that standard outdoor speakers simply cannot replicate.

Audio Features & Drivers

12-inch High-Compliance Mica-Filled Polypropylene Woofer: Features a 310mm professional-grade driver. The mica-infused cone is designed for extreme weather resistance and structural rigidity, allowing it to move massive columns of air without flexing under the pressure of the band-pass enclosure.
Stitched Nitrile-Butadiene Rubber (NBR) Surround: The driver utilizes a specialized NBR surround that is physically stitched to the cone. This provides industrial-strength mechanical durability, ensuring the driver remains perfectly aligned even during the most extreme temperature fluctuations and high-output playback.
Flared High-Velocity Chimney Port: The visible "mushroom cap" features a mathematically tuned flared port system. This allows the 12-inch driver to vent air at high speeds without audible "chuffing" or port noise, resulting in clean, musical bass.
Low-Heat "Chimney" Venting Design: The unique canopy design facilitates a constant flow of fresh air into the motor structure. This prevents heat buildup in the buried cabinet, ensuring the voice coil stays cool and efficient during all-day poolside events in the summer sun.
2.5-inch Oversized High-Power Voice Coil: Features a 60mm 4-layer voice coil wound on a fiberglass bobbin. This massive motor structure provides the high-current handling and magnetic force required to achieve a 24 Hz extension with incredible control.

Streaming & Connectivity

4-Conductor Direct-Burial Lead: Ships with a heavy-duty, weather-rated wire lead designed for permanent underground installation. The package includes 20 waterproof, gel-filled wire connectors to ensure a reliable, corrosion-proof connection.
Passive Architectural Design: As a passive subwoofer, the GO12SW is designed to be paired with high-current external amplifiers. It is perfectly optimized for the Paradigm X-500 or Crown CDi series amplifiers, which feature custom DSP presets tailored specifically for the 12-inch driver's parameters.
Scalable Outdoor System: Designed to anchor a large array of GO4 or GO6 satellites. Because the system is scalable, you can daisy-chain multiple GO12SW units to create an even, immersive soundstage across large properties without creating "bass hot-spots" for the neighbors.
70V / 100V Integration: While native at 8-ohms, the sub can be integrated into 70V commercial-grade landscape systems when used with appropriate high-power external transformers or 70V-capable amplifiers.

Comfort & Dimensions

Ultra-Durable HDPE Enclosure: The 5/8-inch thick high-density polyethylene cabinet is the same material used for underground septic and water systems. It is rated IP58 and has been successfully tested to operate in temperatures ranging from -20°F to 185°F (-29°C to 85°C).
Textured Copper Canopy: Only the "chimney" hood is visible above ground. It features a textured copper finish designed to blend seamlessly into garden mulch, soil, or low-lying shrubs for a completely stealthy installation.
Overall Dimensions: 33" (83.8cm) Height x 35" (88.9cm) Depth/Diameter.
Installation Requirements: Designed for deep direct-burial; it is recommended to be installed with a gravel base for drainage as per Paradigm’s installation guidelines.
Unit Weight: 62 lbs (28.1 kg) — A massive weight that reflects the heavy-duty enclosure and the intensive 12-inch magnet assembly.

Design & Build

Single Driver Band-Pass Cabinet: The driver is housed in a dual-chamber internal cabinet that acts as a natural acoustic filter. This protects the woofer from the soil while the tuned chimney port delivers the sound into the air with maximum efficiency.
UV-Resistant Protective Canopy: The visible portion of the sub is treated with UV inhibitors to prevent fading or becoming brittle, ensuring the unit looks as good in ten years as it does on day one.
Vibration-Minimizing Construction: The mass of the buried HDPE enclosure uses the surrounding earth as a baffle, effectively eliminating cabinet resonance and ensuring the bass is punchy and focused.
NRC Research Heritage: Engineered using the same scientific research at the National Research Council (NRC) that informs Paradigm’s indoor speakers, ensuring the GO12SW delivers a balanced, audiophile-grade frequency response outdoors.
Off-Season Protection: The system is designed for year-round burial, featuring water-tight seals and a design that protects the internal electronics from flooding rains and melting snow.
