Break-In
Although Paradigm Monitor SE Series speakers sound great “out of
the carton,they will sound even better when broken in. Allow them to
operate for several hours before you listen critically.
High-frequency drivers use ferro-fluid that can thicken at temperatures
below 1C (50° F). If your speakers have been transported or stored
in the cold let them warm to room temperature before use.
Cleaning
Do not use a strong or abrasive cleaner on your speakers. Clean
them with a damp soft cloth, but do not get them wet. Do not place
wet objects, such as drinking glasses or potted plants, on top of the
speakers. If allowed to soak in, even a small amount of water may
permanently damage the speaker enclosure.

To prevent damage to your speakers, please read the following guidelines
before making any connections.
Amplifier Distortion—The #1 Culprit!
Amplifier distortion is the principle cause of speaker damage. When
listening at higher volume levels, your amplifier may run out of clean
power and begin to produce a distorted signal if levels are increased any
further. This will damage any brand of speaker very quickly. (See your
Authorized Paradigm Dealer for amplifier recommendations).
More Powerful Amplifiers are Safer
When choosing an amplifier, always select an amplifier with a power
rating greater than that of the speaker. Using a 100 Watts per channel
amplifier on a 50 Watts speaker allows the amplifier adequate headroom
in order to provide a distortion free signal. Conversely, using a 40
Watts per channel amplifier on a 50 Watts speaker limits the amplifier’s
headroom. This causes the amplifier to enter its distortion level much
sooner, potentially damaging the speaker.
Volume Control
Do not be fooled by the Volume Control of your receiver/preamplifier. It
only adjusts listening level—it is not a “power-outputdial. The amount of
amplifier power actually used at a given Volume Control setting depends
solely on the nature of the music you are listening to. At a given Volume
Control setting a quiet section of music will use less amplifier power than a
loud section. With typical pop-rock, jazz or large scale classical music the
rated output power of many receivers/amplifiers is often reached when
the Volume Control is between the “11and “1” o’clock settings (with
bass/ treble and loudness controls not used—otherwise rated power may
be reached at even lower Volume Control settings).
Remember, all amplifiers produce distortion when operated beyond
their rated output power. The resulting distortion will damage all
speakers! Exercise caution! If you listen at loud levels, be careful to
listen for the point of audible distortion—if the speakers begin to sound
distressed, turn the Volume Control down or your speakers and/or
amplifier(s) will be damaged! This type of damage constitutes abuse
and is not covered by the warranty. If louder volumes are desired,
obtain a more powerful amplifier.

There is a Limit!
Although more powerful amplifiers are safer, there is a point at which
you could have more power than the speaker can handle. At that point
you will overpower the speaker and damage it. Exercise caution! At loud
levels do not increase bass/treble controls from zero and ensure that
all loudness/ contour/bass EQ buttons are off (otherwise rated output
power will be reached at lower volume control settings). If you listen at
loud levels, watch for excessive visible cone excursion (grille movement)
from the woofer—then turn the Volume Control down.
The Right Amount of Power
A power-range rating is given as a guide to indicate the approximate
minimum and maximum power input of your Paradigm speakers. Amplifiers
that exceed your speaker’s power-range rating are recommended. Their
greater power reserves provide better sound. However, exercise caution!
Use the speakers within their power-range rating to prevent damage (keep
listening levels below the point of excessive woofer cone excursion).

Monitor SE Series speakers are designed to provide exceptional sound
in a wide variety of domestic settings. However, it is important to note
that listening room construction, dimensions and furnishings all play a
part in the quality of sound you will ultimately achieve. Your listening room
will impose its own character on the performance capabilities of any speaker
system. The extra care you take in correctly positioning the speakers
will result in greater listening enjoyment. Keep the following guidelines in
mind when deciding on the best speaker placement:
Mid and high frequencies are affected by the amount of soft furnishings
in your room—curtains, carpets, sofas, wall coverings, etc. An excess
of such items can result in a somewhat dull sound. The same room
without any soft furnishings can produce an overall bright sound. The
typical quantity of soft furnishings found in most living environments
provides the right acoustic characteristics to allow the speakers to
sound balanced;
Concrete floors and walls tend to aggravate low-frequency standing
wave problems and are less preferred;
Rooms where height, width and length are similar should be
avoided as they can exhibit significant low-frequency standing wave
problems. This may result in reduced clarity. If no other room is possible,
experiment with speaker placement to minimize acoustic problems.

Ideal placement of front and center speakers
Monitor SE Series front speakers are designed to allow flexible placement
while providing a very large window of sound throughout your listening
room. To ensure the best performance possible we strongly recommend
that you observe the placement guidelines on the following pages
PLACEMENT:
Front Left & Right

Accurate Timbre
For the most accurate and natural timbre, place front speakers so that
their high-frequency drivers are approximately at ear level, as shown.
Placing bookshelf models on Paradigm speaker stands (sold separately)
or bookshelves raises their high-frequency drivers to approximately ear
level, thereby ensuring the best performance possible.

8” (20 cm)
Balanced Bass
Placing front speakers in corners will over-emphasize bass and reduce
overall clarity. Avoid corner placement. Position front speakers 8 in (20 cm)
or more from the wall behind the speaker and as much as possible from
either side wall, as shown in. This will ensure better bass performance and
optimal midrange clarity.

The Monitor SE Series center speaker is designed to cover a large,
wide listening area, allowing listeners throughout the room to hear
center-channel information with unprecedented clarity and intelligibility.
Placing your center-channel speaker below the TV will ensure the
best possible clarity and intelligibility. Position the speaker flush with
the front of the TV or speaker shelf to minimize unwanted sound
reflections. Make sure the center-channel speaker is approximately
the same distance away from the primary listening position as your
front speakers. (Some A/V receivers and processors can electronically
adjust for differences in distance.)
