Paradigm Defiance X10 10" powered subwoofer

Tight, high-performance bass Whether you're a home theater enthusiast or an audiophile (or both), you know how a good subwoofer can affect your experience. Having that low-end definition is paramount to achieving high-quality, lifelike sound. Paradigm's Defiance X10 is a no-compromise subwoofer that'll give your music and movies some oomph. Using a hefty woofer and a powerful magnet, it delivers clean, perfectly balanced bass. It's app-controllable and it includes an advanced self-calibration system for tuning the bass to your room. A scientifically optimized driver and surround Paradigm is all about sound quality, and they back up their designs with careful research. In studying how woofer cones and surrounds interact, they found that the spot where the two meet can cause some unwanted distortion, particularly at high excursion points.

Thus, their Active Ridge Technology (ART(tm)) surround was born. The bass remains tight and well-timed, accentuating all the low-end nuances your music and movies might have with ease. This sub boasts surprisingly low bass extension down to 29 Hz, so even if there's a deep, rumbling explosion or a room-shaking kick drum sample playing, the X10 can hit it deeply and with authority. App control and room correction Through the Paradigm Subwoofer Control App (free for iOS? and Android(tm)) you'll be able to adjust the sub's volume, low-pass filter, phase, more without having to mess with the controls on the back. The app includes three listening preset modes, Music, Movie, and Night, for dialing in the right bass for the occasion. It also has a nifty shortcut to the Anthem Room Correction (ARC(tm)) app. Running Anthem Room Correction is an easy way to get bass that's perfectly tailored to your room and furnishings. The app lets you use your smartphone's mic or the
