Loudspeaker Design is a Natural Science to Paradigm

The suburban Toronto-based manufacturer emphasizes value, performance and reliability throughout its engineering and manufacturing processes. You'd never know it by looking at its Web site or by visiting its various trade show booths, but Paradigm Electronics is one of the largest speaker manufacturers.

The Canadian company, known for its value and performance in freestanding and architectural loudspeakers, is driven by a quiet state of motivation. It wants to prove it can build affordable products that perform to the highest standard without sacrificing industrial design.

The company factory is located in Mississauga, Ontario. The engineering, industrial design and manufacturing department, which includes the use of internal machines, wood shops and production lines, are all housed in that one building.

Mark Aling, marketing manager for Paradigm, says the facility recently grew from 235,000 square feet to support the company's growing product line.

Because nearly everything is done in-house, Paradigm has complete control of its entire manufacturing process to support its quality control (QC) procedures. The QC procedures mandates checks of manufacturing tolerances against its reference designs throughout every step of production for every product. Paradigm, as part of the QC process, checks everything from inductor windings and soldered leads, to more advanced elements such as crossover network specifications that have to meet the reference within a .25dB tolerance.
