{"product_id":"paradigm-defiance-s10-subwoofer-gloss-black","title":"Paradigm Defiance S10 Subwoofer, Gloss Black (Each)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Paradigm Defiance S10 is an active, sealed subwoofer with a 25 cm aluminum driver, a 500-watt Class D amplifier, and built-in Anthem Room Correction (ARC). It delivers deep, controlled bass without taking up half the room – and comes with its own wireless transmitter, so the cable to your system becomes optional rather than mandatory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Defiance S10?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeep bass is the discipline where most systems secretly fall short. The S10 closes that gap: its satin-anodized pure aluminum cone (S-PAL) sits in a sealed enclosure built for precision rather than showmanship. Sealed means – short and honest – a bit less level-chasing than a bass reflex design, but drier, faster bass in return. Exactly what music wants, and good home cinema too. A 64-bit DSP doles out the 500 watts cleanly instead of just blasting them out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBass that pushes without booming. The S10 reaches down to 18 Hz – deep enough that you feel the lowest organ registers and the rumble of a movie explosion more than you hear them. In stereo use, it supports large floorstanders just as well as compact bookshelf speakers that otherwise give up early down low. And because ARC measures the room and smooths out the typical bass humps, the result at the listening position sounds tidy rather than \"something's booming somewhere.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Defiance S10 for? (and who it's not for – straight talk)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeal for small to medium rooms where deep, precise bass is wanted without a piece of subwoofer furniture in the way. If you want to round out stereo musically at the bottom end or give a 5.1 home cinema a clean foundation, this is the one. Straight talk: if you want to fill a large hall with level that flaps your trouser legs, go for the S12 or straight to the X15 – the S10 is the elegant precision instrument, not the jackhammer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Defiance S10 is the sensible entry into serious Paradigm low bass: compact, app-controllable, room-corrected, and flexibly placeable thanks to the included wireless transmitter. A subwoofer that does its job and otherwise stays out of the picture – and for bass, that's the biggest compliment there is. At HD Zürisee in Wädenswil, we tune it to your room and your speakers together with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: active subwoofer, sealed enclosure, Ultra Class D\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDriver: 254 mm (10\") high-excursion, S-PAL pure aluminum cone, steel basket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmplifier power: 500 W continuous \/ 1000 W peak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBass extension: 18 Hz (DIN)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignal processing: 64-bit high-resolution DSP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoom correction: Anthem Room Correction (ARC), measurement microphone sold separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWireless transmission: receiver built in, transmitter included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnections: RCA (Cinch), XLR LFE, stereo RCA, speaker level, sub-out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControl: Paradigm Subwoofer Control App (iOS\/Android)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeet: anti-vibration feet, carpet spikes included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions (W×H×D): 34.2 × 35.1 × 37.8 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 15.7 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Gloss Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded: subwoofer, wireless transmitter, power cable, anti-vibration feet, carpet spikes, manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat room size suits the Paradigm Defiance S10?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nSmall to medium-sized living rooms, roughly up to around 25 m². There, the 25 cm driver with 500 watts delivers deep, controlled bass with reserves to spare. In very large rooms or for pure level-chasing, the larger S12 is the better choice. ARC room correction gets the acoustic optimum out of any room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the Defiance S10 need a separate wireless module?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNo. Unlike the older X series, the wireless receiver is already built in and the matching transmitter is included. So you connect the sub to your amplifier or AV receiver without running a long RCA cable across the room. A wired connection naturally remains possible too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does Anthem Room Correction (ARC) do for the subwoofer?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nARC measures how your room distorts the bass and smooths out the typical booming and cancellation zones. The result is even, clean bass at the listening position instead of a random frequency response. The measurement microphone is available separately, and setup runs conveniently through the Paradigm app.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the S10 suited for music or only for home cinema?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nBoth. The sealed enclosure delivers the fast, dry bass that music needs, and it supports the foundation under film effects in home cinema too. Via the app, you set volume, crossover, and phase as needed – one profile for relaxed music listening, another for movie night when things are allowed to rumble down low.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy buy the Paradigm Defiance S10 at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nBecause a subwoofer only earns its money in the right room and the right spot.
