About the Studio ADP-590 v5

The Paradigm Studio ADP-590 v5 is a high-performance surround speaker featuring a 5-driver, 3-way design optimized for surround/rear channel use in home theater systems. It includes two 25-mm G-PAL dome tweeters, two 89-mm S-PAL midrange cones, and a 178-mm mineral-filled polypropylene bass driver, all with advanced ferro-fluid cooling and die-cast heatsink chassis. The drivers are mounted using Paradigm's IMS/SHOCK-MOUNT isolation system to reduce enclosure resonance and distortion. The speaker has a frequency response of ±2dB from 85 Hz to 20 kHz on-axis, with a low-frequency extension down to 60 Hz (DIN). Sensitivity is rated at 88 dB in room and 85 dB anechoic, with an impedance compatible with 8 ohms. It supports amplifier power from 15 to 180 watts and a maximum input power of 130 watts. The enclosure is beautifully finished in real wood veneer or matte black/white, with seven coats of hand-sanded lacquer, and includes a wall-mount bracket. Dimensions are 8.75" H × 14.75" W × 6.625" D, weighing 17 lbs (7.9 kg). The speaker is discontinued but remains highly regarded for its warm midrange, clear imaging, and ability to disappear in the soundstage, making it suitable for both stereo and multi-channel setups.
