Paradigm Persona Sub Active Amplified Subwoofer Home Theater Blue

Six 8" Driver Subwoofers with 1700W Continuous / 3400W Peak Power

Persona Sub is specially designed to match the Persona series aesthetic and deliver a wallop of deep bass effects.

Six 8-inch woofers, featuring durable overmolded diffusers, are radially aligned in Paradigm's signature hexagonal vibration-resonance design enclosure. Powered by a 1700W Ultra-Class D amplifier (with 3400W dynamic peaks) and a host of Paradigm bass enhancements like advanced DSP, efficient venting, and superior power switching, this sub adds bass depth, clarity, and precision to your Persona audio system. Get well-balanced musical bass down to an astonishing 12Hz. Use two or more for a truly emotional audio experience!

99.9% Beryllium pure

Can luxury be a value? We believe so. One of the keys to Persona's luxury and value is our use of beryllium.

Beryllium is the absolute best diaphragm material, and Persona features Truextent® pure beryllium foil, specially formulated to be exponentially stiffer and significantly lighter than other premium diaphragm materials. It offers superior transient response, virtually transparent performance, and audibly low coloration. Plus, it's a material typically found only in much more expensive speakers. Luxurious? Yes. But also a surprising performance value in Persona.

Beryllium: Welcome to the cult of high performance.

Beryllium is a rare chemical element (Be) with low mass, high tensile strength, and high thermal stability. It is incredibly stiff and lightweight; everything an audio engineer wants in a speaker cone.

In fact, beryllium has been used in the audio industry since the 1970s. But because it is used only in the finest (and most expensive) audio equipment, it has retained a certain “cult” status.

Precise control of the Truextent manufacturing process produces pure beryllium foil with a highly uniform grain structure; this is many times stiffer, but much less dense, than most common cone materials. In industry tests, our beryllium cone material shows substantial improvements in durability, speed, and interference reduction. It can add more than an octave of distortion-free output.

In the Paradigm Persona, tandem-matched beryllium drivers reveal the full range of high performance. Persona is the only speaker in its class to use beryllium material for both the midrange and tweeter drivers.

All Persona models feature dual Truextent Beryllium driver systems, and each model achieves a truly unexpected level of high-resolution detail, depth and dynamics, thanks in part to rare and extraordinary beryllium.

Partnered with the NRC

Paradigm partners with Canada's renowned NRC in an ongoing quest to reveal the true nature of human sound and hearing. The findings inform design and performance specifications, resulting in a uniquely lifelike listening experience backed by solid science.
