Product Description
Paradigm Defiance S12 Key Features:
Power & Precision
The S10 and S12 feature high-excursion S-PAL™ drivers powered by efficient, high-output amplifiers—500W RMS for the S10 and 800W RMS for the S12. The result is deep, impactful bass with the speed and control to reveal the subtle nuances in any recording or soundtrack. Like many Paradigm subs before them, these punch well above their weight class.
Compact, Stylish Design
The S10 measures approximately 14″ x 13.5″ x 15″, while the S12 comes in at 16.5″ x 16″ x 17″. Both models feature a sealed, front-firing design that blends easily into a variety of room styles or custom cabinetry. Each cabinet showcases our elegant chamfered design—also seen in our Founder Series and XR subwoofers. Think of them as XR-lite.
Anthem Room Correction (ARC)
Both models are ARC-ready. Download the latest version of ARC for PC or Mac and use an ARC microphone to optimize performance. (Microphone not included — contact your representative for details or use a compatible microphone from another product.) In addition, setup and control can be managed using the Paradigm Subwoofer Control App for iOS and Android.
Built-in Wireless
Included in the accessory kit is a wireless transmitter that pairs with the built-in receiver in both models—making wireless setup easy. Connectivity options also include XLR and RCA LFE inputs, stereo RCA inputs, speaker-level inputs, and a subwoofer output for daisy-chaining multiple units.
