Paradigm CI Pro P80-R V2

About The Paradigm CI Pro P80-R V2 In-Ceiling Speaker

The CI Pro series is manufactured in Canada and takes performance to the next level with patented technology, step-up components, and hallmark Paradigm sound quality. These 8″ speakers are supplied individually to offer maximum flexibility so you can use the exact speaker you need in as many, or as few locations as you desire. They come standard with round white grilles which can be painted any colour you like and there is the option to purchase square grilles separately if required.

High Performance High Frequencies: V2 offers an Aluminium Magnesium Ceramic (AL-MACT) Tweeter with Exclusive Perforated Phase-Aligning (PPA) Tweeter Lens shared with the CI Elite series; this new tweeter platform elevates performance and allows for even greater flexibility when paired with Paradigm’s in-room counterparts such as the Founder Series.

CARBON-X Cones: Paradigm’s exclusive CARBON-X Cone combines lightweight stiffness with high consistency for a greater degree of accuracy and smooth, uncoloured frequency response. Drivers feature long excursion voice coil motors for greater power handling and reduced power compression.

Advanced Shock-Mount System: Like the CI Elite Series, Paradigm have added the same great Advanced Shock-Mount System to mechanically decouple the basket from the chassis. This significantly reduces performance-robbing vibrations and resonances between the acoustic platform and the rest of the speaker. Without these resonances, all drivers are left free to deliver pure, unaltered sound with no audible distortion.

Aluminium Baskets: FEA-Optimized Ultra Rigid Cast-Aluminium Baskets feature integrated heat sinks for higher power handling, better bass, better dynamics, and less power compression.

Component Shielding: Rear Component Shielding protects internal parts from debris. The polycarbonate material creates an installation that will not warp. Flat covers also make it easy to lie speakers down during the installation process without tipping.

Cable Capture: Nickel-plated, spring loaded binding posts feature a larger wire hole to accept higher-gauge wire or banana plugs.

Driver Surrounds: Patented Active Ridge Technology (ART) surrounds, made in-house and over-moulded directly onto each cone, achieve greater excursion for a 3dB gain in distortion-free output (50% greater) compared to drivers with standard surrounds.

Mix & Match: Bezel-Free, Micro-Perf Grilles allow you to mix and match CI Home, CI Pro and CI Elite Series for a seamless aesthetic from room-to-room!
