Paradigm Defiance X12 – Powered Subwoofer

Ultimate, Uncompromising Bass.
Everything is maximized with the new Defiance X10 / X12 / X15 subwoofers. Output is massive, thanks to heavy-duty, internally-braced cabinets, and Active Ridge Technology (ART™) for maximum driver-excursion. Massive SPL levels are coupled with precision control, intense detail and vanishingly low distortion. Completely Crafted in Canada, Defiance X outperforms every sub in their class.

Patented Active Ridge Technology (ART™)
The farther the driver can freely move, the deeper the bass it can generate. Patented* ART driver design “overmolds” durable driver surrounds to allow the farthest possible throw without distortion or destruction. Greater excursion results in a measured 3dB gain in output, with a 50% reduction in audible distortion compared to drivers held back by standard surrounds.

Subwoofer Control App
Simplify setup & tuning with the free Paradigm Subwoofer Control App*, available for iOS and Android devices. The app controls volume, low-pass filter, phase, deep bass and much more from the comfort of your listening chair. It features three preset listening modes and a built-in shortcut to the Anthem Room Correction (ARC®) app.

Anthem Room Correction (ARC®)
Using your mobile device or optional calibrated microphone, ARC® measures your space, compares it to lab standard using proprietary advanced DSP algorithms, and instantly removes performance-robbing anomalies. The result is easy to hear: realistically blended, accurately rendered deep bass. Professional room correction at the touch of a button.

Optional Wireless Module
Place your subwoofer anywhere in your room, with no inconvenient cabling, and without sacrificing speed or performance. The Defiance WT Wireless Module* (sold separately) features fast and clear 2.4 GHz dynamic frequency selection with instant error correction and a 50ft range.

Down Firing Ports
Tuned ports turn the floor into a tool for enhancing bass response, allowing more flexible placement options with no risk of turbulence or distortion.

Built to Perform
Reinforced cabinet construction and vibration-killing driver design delivers deep, detailed bass.

Crafted in Canada
All X Series subwoofers are designed, engineered and manufactured in our state-of-the-art 225,000 ft2 Canadian facility.

ART™ Surrounds
Made in-house and overmolded directly onto each woofer cone. This design achieves greater excursion, for a 3dB gain in output and 50% reduction in distortion. Crafted from injection-molded thermoplastic elastomer, ART surrounds are more durable and more
reliable than conventional surrounds, ensuring a lifetime of superior sound.
