Product Summary
The Paradigm Founder 70LCR Centre Loudspeaker is a premium compact speaker designed for demanding home cinema and media room installations where space is tighter but performance still matters. Part of Paradigm’s high-end Founder range, it is engineered to deliver the clarity, focus and tonal balance needed for convincing dialogue and seamless front-stage integration.
Its four-driver, three-way sealed design combines a 1-inch AL-MAC tweeter, a 6-inch AL-MAG midrange driver and twin 5.5-inch CARBON-X bass drivers. This carefully developed driver array helps the Founder 70LCR produce articulate vocals, excellent detail retrieval and impressively controlled bass from a relatively compact cabinet.
Paradigm’s advanced driver and cabinet technologies, including Perforated Phase-Aligning lens design, SHOCK-MOUNT isolation and Cascade-Fusion bracing, are all used to reduce unwanted resonance and preserve clarity. The result is a speaker that sounds clean, composed and highly intelligible, even during busy movie soundtracks or demanding multichannel music.
Whether used as a centre channel or in a left, centre and right configuration, the Founder 70LCR is designed to deliver refined, room-friendly performance without compromising the premium build quality and acoustic sophistication that define the Founder series.
