The Paradigm CI Elite E7-LCR v2 is a flagship in-wall speaker engineered for audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts seeking uncompromising performance in a space-saving design. It features a 6-driver (4 active, 2 passive) 3-way configuration with a shallow enclosure, making it ideal for both new installations and retrofits. Key technologies include an Aluminum Magnesium Ceramic (AL-MAC™) tweeter with Perforated Phase-Aligning (PPA™) lens for precise high-frequency reproduction, a coaxial 6" (152mm) Aluminum Magnesium (AL-MAG™) midrange driver, and dual 8" (203mm) AL-MAG™ bass drivers with dual 8" bass radiators for deep, articulate bass. The Advanced Shock-Mount™ system decouples drivers from the baffle to minimize distortion, while FEA-optimized ultra-rigid cast-aluminum baskets with integrated heat sinks ensure high power handling and dynamic performance. The speaker also includes an integrated acoustic back-box for consistent performance and reduced sound leakage, and a bezel-free, micro-perforated grille for a clean, modern look. Made in Canada, the E7-LCR v2 is designed for use as left, center, or right channels in high-end home theaters, delivering a consistent, immersive soundstage.
