Paradigm Premium Wireless Series Owner’s Manual

You must have the following to connect your Paradigm product to

your network:

• A high-speed DSL/Cable modem or a fiber-to-the-home

broadband connection for reliable playback of music services

based on the internet. Note: Satellite internet services are

prone to playback issues due to fluctuating download rates.

• If your modem is not a modem/router combination you must

purchase and install a router into your home network before

proceeding.

• If you plan to use the DTS Play-Fi

®

App on an Android

™

or

iOS device or you are setting up a Paradigm product for Wi-Fi

streaming, you will need a wireless router.

• Have your network password ready before connecting the

Paradigm product to your network.

NOTE: To make the quickest connection, use a dual-band router

and connect your Paradigm Product to the 5G network instead of

the 2.4 Network.

NOTE: If your wireless connectivity is weak or not available,

connect your Paradigm product to your router with the supplied

ethernet cable.

TIP! Paradigm Premium Wireless Series products communicate

with wireless networks that support 802.11 g/n wireless

technology. For the fastest streaming performance, a network

that supports 802.11 n wireless technology is recommended. A

network supporting 802.11b may be used, but it will effectively

stream to only one device equipped with DTS Play-Fi

®

.

TIP! For superior performance connect your PC or NAS (Network-

Attached Storage) drive that holds your personal music library to

your network router using the provided Ethernet cable.

soundstage imaging and bass performance. Connect one

speaker at a time to ensure proper connection of every channel.

The red (+) amplifier terminal must be connected to the red (+)

speaker terminal. The same applies to the black (–) terminals.

Make sure all wires are firmly fastened. Repeat this connection

procedure for each speaker in your system.

IMPORTANT! If you hear a distinct lack of bass and a dislocated

stereo image then one or more of your speakers may be connected

out of phase (polarity is reversed). Re-check to ensure that each

speaker’s cable is connected with correct polarity: red (+) to red (+)

and black (–) to black (–).

Bare Wire Connectors:

If you are using speaker wire without banana plugs, simply press in the

spring loaded binding post to expose the connection hole. Insert the stripped

end of the speaker wire into the hole, then release the binding post. The

exposed speaker wire should be securely gripped by the binding post.

Banana Plug Connectors:

If you are using banana plugs, remove the end caps from the

PW AMP’s binding posts to expose the banana plug socket;

insert the banana plug into the socket.

Paradigm Premium Wireless Series Owner’s Manual

ADDING AN OPTIONAL EXTERNAL SUBWOOFER

If desired, an external subwoofer can be used to reinforce

low-frequency channel information in multichannel and stereo

recordings. For seamless system matching, we recommend

a Paradigm subwoofer, however any brand of subwoofer can

be connected.

Using a high-quality RCA style cable, connect the “Sub Out” on

the Paradigm Premium Wireless Series product back panel to the

“LFE In/Sub In” on the subwoofer’s back panel.

TIP! Reference your subwoofer’s Owner’s Manual to learn how

to properly adjust the subwoofer’s level and phase controls to

achieve proper blending with the PW AMP.

Upon connecting an external subwoofer, your Paradigm product

will automatically detect its presence and redirect low frequency

content from the speakers to the subwoofer. If your subwoofer has

an adjustment for bandwidth (BW), set it to 100 Hz (recommended

setting) if you will not be running ARC. If you will be running ARC

set it to maximum bandwidth (or bypass). If you ran ARC before

connecting a subwoofer, you will need to run it again.

PLAY MUSIC & CONNECT MULTIPLE PW SERIES PRODUCTS

Once your Paradigm product is connected to your home network,

you can start playing music anytime.

1. Activate the DTS Play-Fi

®

App on your mobile device or PC. If

you have setup more than one Paradigm product, select which

one you want to stream music to.

2. Select your music source – personal music library or any

subscription-based music service contained on your mobile

device or PC, Internet Radio, or from select online music

services such as Deezer, Songza, etc. (visit our website at

paradigm.com to view a full list of available music services).

How to Connect Multiple Paradigm Premium Wireless

Series products:

1. To connect additional Paradigm Premium Wireless Series

products to your network, open the DTS Play-Fi

®

App and

select “Setting”.

2. Select, “Add Play-Fi Device”

3. Follow the instructions to add each Paradigm Premium

Wireless Series product.

Primary/Secondary Zones:

When using the DTS Play-Fi

®

App on your device, you will notice

when streaming music to your Paradigm Premium Wireless Series

product that there are two groups: Primary and secondary zones.

The DTS Play-Fi

®

module within your Paradigm Premium Wireless

Series product requires that a primary speaker be selected to create

a new listening session or zone. The purpose of this is to eliminate any

echo, found on other ecosystems, and to maximize synchronization

down to 1 millisecond.

We suggest that you select the Paradigm Premium Wireless Series

product with the strongest signal strength as your primary device.

It should be noted that secondary speakers are connected to your

primary speaker, so if you disable your primary speaker for any

reason, your secondary speaker will be temporarily unavailable

until a primary speaker is selected again.

Even when the finest speakers are perfectly positioned, the room

itself still has a dramatic impact on any system’s sound, an impact

more profound than that of any individual component. Various

solutions have fallen in and out of favor over the years, but none

has solved the problem of “the room.” Until ARC.

Using proprietary processes and the power of your PC, the ARC

system analyzes each speaker’s in-room sound, then computes the

required correction to yield optimal performance from every speaker.

It’s a process that takes approximately 15 minutes. Anthem’s

approach is a true audiophile solution to the problems of the room.

IMPORTANT! The listening space must be silent while performing

ARC. A noisy computer fan, a dishwasher or microwave running,

etc. can negatively affect ARC’s measurements.

How to Correct Room Deficiencies using ARC Technology :

1. Ensure that your Paradigm product is already connected on

your home network and is powered “on”.

2. Download the ARC software from paradigm.com/support and install

it. Once the drivers are installed, follow the on-screen instructions.

3. Using the 6.5’ (2 m) USB cable, connect the ARC microphone to a

Windows

®

PC running Windows

®

7 or 8 (32 and 64 bit).

4. Look for the icon on your desktop and launch the ARC

™

program. Follow

the prompts on your computer screen to successfully run the ARC

™

software; the entire process should take approximately 15 minutes.

5. Hold the ARC microphone with your arm fully extended, the ARC

microphone tip must point towards the ceiling and it must be

positioned at ear level. Refer to the diagram below.

6. For best results, hold the microphone in 5 different positions

around the room.

TIP! Once the ARC process is complete, the corrected listening

curves will be stored and music will be played back reflecting these

corrections each time you stream music to your Paradigm product.

To toggle back and forth between pre and post ARC correction, or

to disable ARC refer to the “Mute Button ( )” section on page 8.
