The crossover is a third-order design centred on 2 kHz and the on-axis response runs from 60 Hz to 22 kHz within ±3 dB, with useful low-end extension down to 39 Hz. In-room sensitivity is 94 dB, so amplifiers from 15 W upwards are enough, up to 160 W.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tweeter dome is made of AL-MAC, Paradigm's mix of aluminium, magnesium and ceramic: light, stiff and reluctant to ring. In front of it sits the perforated PPA lens, which shields the dome and brings its output into phase. The woofer cone is AL-MAG (aluminium and magnesium) with an ART surround moulded straight onto the cone, a patented shape that the maker says adds 3 dB of distortion-free output over a conventional surround. A 38 mm voice coil copes with high power without compression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe die-cast aluminium basket, with a heat sink built in, is mechanically decoupled from the CARBON-X front baffle by the Shock-Mount system, which cuts the vibration passed between chassis and baffle. At the back a polycarbonate cover keeps ceiling-void debris away from the components. The frameless micro-perforated grille is held by neodymium magnets and can be painted; the nickel-plated sprung terminals take heavy-gauge cable or banana plugs. The series is built in Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eType: in-ceiling, 2-way, 2 drivers angled at 30°\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eTweeter: 25 mm AL-MAC dome behind a PPA lens\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eWoofer: 203 mm AL-MAG cone, ART surround, 38 mm voice coil\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eBaffle: CARBON-X with Shock-Mount decoupling\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eCrossover: third order, 2 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eResponse on axis: 60 Hz to 22 kHz within ±3 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eResponse 30° off axis: 60 Hz to 18 kHz within ±3 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eBass extension: 39 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eSensitivity: 94 dB in room, 90 dB anechoic\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eSuggested amplifiers: 15 to 160 W\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003ePeak input power: 100 W\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eImpedance: suits 8 ohm amplifiers\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eCut-out: 291 mm diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eDepth needed behind the ceiling: 146 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eSize with grille: 320 x 155 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eWeight: 4.1 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Paradigm","offers":[{"title":"Bianco","offer_id":53627476935000,"sku":"12106245342","price":999.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/5278\/7645\/files\/ParadigmCIEliteE80-Av21.jpg?v=1731930997","url":"https:\/\/videosell.it\/en\/products\/paradigm-ci-elite-e80-a-v2","provider":"Videosell store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
