Product Information
Delivering stunning vocal clarity, even in the largest rooms, the Paradigm Founder 90C is an XXL-sized centre speaker with power to spare.
Premium centre speaker
Featuring an impressive multi-array driver set, the Paradigm Founder 90C delivers stunning centre speaker clarity. The highly detailed sound makes it easy to hear every word of dialogue, while the wide frequency response means that explosive effects are seamlessly carried between the front left and right speakers. A wide choice of finishes makes it easy to find the perfect style for your décor.
The perfect partner for a Founder speaker package
As part of a multi-award-winning speaker range, the Paradigm Founder 90C makes the natural choice for home cinema. Match with the Founder 70LCR speakers and/or your choice of H, F or B-series speakers to create a devastatingly effective home cinema system. As well as matching the other Founder speakers’ aesthetics, it’s also tuned to sonically blend perfectly, giving you seamless surround sound.
AL-MAG coaxial driver delivers authentic-sounding vocals
Featuring advanced speaker technology, the central coaxial driver reproduces natural and lifelike vocals. The cone uses an alloy of aluminium and magnesium (AL-MAG) for ideal sonic characteristics. The driver is mounted to the cabinet using Paradigm’s patented Shock-Mount decouplers, which isolate the sensitive mid-range driver from potential cabinet vibrations, giving an even cleaner and purer vocal reproduction.
AL-MAG tweeter for intense top-end detail
Fitted within the midrange, the dedicated tweeter is also packed with innovative tech. It also uses an aluminium and magnesium blend but with a ceramic coating for further enhanced performance. It has PPA (Perforated Phase-Aligning) for precise and accurate sound. In addition to this, the tweeter features OSW (Oblate Spherical Waveguide) that guides the soundwaves towards the listening position and away from the room’s peripheries, giving you a highly focused top-end response.
Smooth, consistent bass response
To achieve a consistently strong sound across all three front channels, a powerful upper-bass response is vital. This means that when, for example, a spacecraft flies from the right of the screen to the left, it has the same deep resonant rumble across the screen. In order to achieve this consistency of sound with the front speakers, the Founder 90C uses two dedicated, 7 inch bass woofers. The CARBON-X woofers feature large magnets and ultra-high-excursion surrounds for deep, extended upper-bass. Gen3 ART (Active Ridge technology) deploys corrugated cone surrounds for greater cone excursion and higher sound pressure levels. In addition to this, two passive 7 inch CARBON-X bass woofers further enhance the bass, giving a deeper and richer response at all volume levels.
High efficiency design for wide-ranging system versatility
An exceptionally high room sensitivity (94 dB) makes this speaker easy to drive and undemanding for lower powered AV amplifiers. It also makes the speaker suitable for use with valve and pure Class A amplifiers, with power outputs from just 15 watts per channel.
Available in a wide range of premium finishes
Premium speakers deserve a special finish and that’s exactly what the Founder series speakers have. You can choose between one of the sumptuous wood finishes – Black Walnut, Midnight Cherry and Walnut, or Piano Black for the best match with your furniture. Alternatively, Paradigm also offer an exclusive Founder Forty-One Collection of finishes, which includes Ruby Frostbite, Frozen Charcoal and Azure Ice for stand-out style that becomes the centre of attention in any room.
