Product Overview

The 520LCR v2 is a dedicated Left/Center/Right solution designed for high-performance theater. Its acoustic suspension (sealed) design allows for flexible placement in cabinets or freestanding without compromising clarity. A Coaxial AL-MAG™ midrange ensures clear dialogue and precise imaging, creating a seamless front stage with balanced, natural sound.

The Premier v2 features an elite suite of “trickle-down” technologies—innovations developed for higher-tier ranges and now refined for this series. By integrating these proven, high-end components, the series delivers exceptional performance and a clear expression of Paradigm’s advanced engineering pedigree.

  • AL-MAC™ High-Frequency Drivers: A sophisticated blend of aluminum, magnesium, and ceramic that is lightweight, rigid, and resistant to resonance for detailed, lifelike high frequencies
  • AL-MAG™ Midrange Drivers: Crafted from aluminum and magnesium to provide the agility and precision required for natural vocals and instruments.
  • Carbon-X™ Unibody Bass Drivers: Single-piece unibody cones designed for maximum strength and minimal mass, delivering deep and controlled bass even at high volumes.

OSW™ Waveguide

The Oblate Spherical Waveguide precisely shapes output to focus sound on the listening area while reducing unwanted room reflections. By focusing the sound directly on the “sweet spot” and minimizing ceiling and wall reflections, you get a clear, focused image regardless of your room’s acoustics.

Patented PPA™ Lens

The Perforated Phase-Aligning (PPA™) lens ensures all frequencies reach the listener simultaneously, significantly enhancing realism and detail. It functions as both a physical shield and an acoustic filter, blocking out-of-phase frequencies. The result is a noticeable improvement in the three-dimensionality of the soundstage.
