Paradigm Décor 1SC v2 Custom-Length Stereo + Center Soundbar for a Complete Front Soundstage

The Paradigm Décor 1SC v2 Custom-Length Stereo + Center Soundbar combines dedicated left, center, and right loudspeaker channels within one elegant enclosure built to complement the dimensions of a television or display. Designed for installations where three separate front speakers would interrupt the room's appearance, the Décor 1SC v2 delivers a complete front soundstage while preserving a clean, architectural presentation.

Unlike a powered soundbar, the Décor 1SC v2 is a passive loudspeaker system intended for connection to a compatible AV receiver or multichannel amplifier. Each channel receives its own discrete amplifier signal, allowing movie soundtracks, television programs, and music to be reproduced with true left-to-right separation and a dedicated center channel for clear, anchored dialogue.

The left, center, and right sections each incorporate Paradigm's 1-inch X-PAL™ satin-anodized pure-aluminum dome tweeter with a Perforated Phase-Aligning PPA™ lens. Length-dependent arrays of 4.5-inch anodized aluminum unibody bass/midrange drivers provide the output, clarity, and radiating area needed for a convincing front soundstage from an exceptionally shallow cabinet.

The Paradigm Décor 1SC v2 Custom-Length Stereo + Center Soundbar is custom manufactured to suit the specified display and installation. By coordinating the enclosure length with the television, the soundbar appears visually integrated rather than added as an afterthought, making it an excellent solution for living rooms, media spaces, bedrooms, and professionally designed home theaters.

Its dedicated center section keeps dialogue focused on the screen, while the independent left and right channels reproduce music, ambient effects, and directional soundtrack information across the width of the display. The result is a more cohesive and immersive presentation than a conventional two-channel soundbar can provide.

A rigid extruded-aluminum enclosure helps control resonance while maintaining an ultra-slim profile. Recessed connections and integrated cable-management provisions support a neat on-wall installation with speaker wiring concealed behind or around the cabinet.

Whether used as the complete front stage of a streamlined surround system or paired with additional Paradigm surround speakers and a powered subwoofer, the Paradigm Décor 1SC v2 Custom-Length Stereo + Center Soundbar delivers genuine three-channel performance without the visual impact of separate speaker cabinets.

Technology & Performance

Revamped Décor v2 Acoustic Platform — Paradigm redesigned the Décor Collection around updated X-PAL™ tweeters, PPA™ lenses, aluminum unibody bass/midrange drivers, and a revised extrusion profile. These improvements provide greater clarity, stronger bass performance, and improved power handling while preserving the collection's slim architectural design.

Independent Left, Center, and Right Channels — The Décor 1SC v2 contains three electrically separate loudspeaker systems within one enclosure. Each channel connects independently to an AV receiver or power amplifier, preserving the discrete information encoded in movie, television, and multichannel music soundtracks.

Dedicated Center-Channel Reproduction — The center section is responsible for dialogue, vocals, and other information mixed to the middle of the screen. Its dedicated tweeter, bass/midrange drivers, and crossover allow voices to remain focused and intelligible without being created as a phantom image between the left and right channels.

X-PAL™ Satin-Anodized Pure-Aluminum Tweeters — Each channel uses its own 1-inch X-PAL™ dome tweeter. The lightweight aluminum construction provides the rigidity and responsiveness needed to reproduce fine musical detail, dialogue articulation, and high-frequency soundtrack effects.

Perforated Phase-Aligning PPA™ Lenses — The precisely formed lenses positioned in front of the tweeters protect the delicate domes while acting as phase-aligning devices. Their perforated patterns help smooth acoustic output and improve high-frequency consistency throughout the listening area.

Anodized Aluminum Unibody Bass/Midrange Cones — The 4.5-inch drivers use rigid aluminum diaphragms engineered to behave as controlled pistons through their operating range. Their combination of low mass and structural stiffness supports clean transients, intelligible vocals, and detailed midrange reproduction.

Nitrile-Butadiene Rubber Surrounds — Durable NBR surrounds allow the bass/midrange cones to move freely while maintaining precise control. Their compliant construction supports useful low-frequency output within the shallow sealed enclosure.

High-Temperature Voice Coils — Robust voice-coil assemblies help manage heat during demanding movie and television playback. This contributes to improved reliability, dynamic capability, and power handling from the compact driver arrays.

Length-Dependent Acoustic Configuration — Because the Décor 1SC v2 is custom manufactured, the number and arrangement of bass/midrange drivers can vary according to the selected cabinet length. Paradigm configures the arrays to retain independent left, center, and right sections while matching the visual dimensions of the display.

Channel-Specific Crossover Networks — Each of the three channels includes its own passive crossover network to integrate the X-PAL™ tweeter with its corresponding bass/midrange drivers. This maintains the electrical separation and tonal consistency required for accurate multichannel reproduction.

Acoustic-Suspension Alignment — The sealed enclosure provides controlled low-frequency behavior without requiring rear or front bass ports. This makes the soundbar well suited to close-wall installations and helps maintain clean transient response.

Rigid Extruded-Aluminum Enclosure — Aluminum construction provides a stable foundation for the driver assemblies while resisting the panel flex and resonance that can color sound. It also allows Paradigm to achieve a slimmer enclosure than many conventional speaker designs.

Aluminum Front Baffle — The solid front baffle securely supports each driver and helps reduce unwanted mechanical movement. A stable mounting surface allows more of the amplifier's energy to be converted into controlled acoustic output.

Wide, Screen-Integrated Soundstage — Positioning the left and right channels near the outer portions of the display allows effects and music to spread across the screen, while the center channel maintains a strong connection between dialogue and the picture.

Near-Flush Wall Installation — Recessed and angled speaker terminals help maintain cable clearance behind the enclosure. Integrated wire routing keeps speaker cables organized and reduces the likelihood of pinching during installation.

Component-System Flexibility — Because the Décor 1SC v2 is passive, system performance can be tailored through the choice of AV receiver, power amplifier, processor, source components, subwoofer, and room correction. It can serve as the complete front stage of a compact surround system or a larger custom theater.

Optional Subwoofer Integration — Pairing the soundbar with a powered Paradigm subwoofer extends low-frequency performance for movies and music while reducing bass demands on the compact on-wall drivers.

Expandable Surround Sound — Additional Paradigm on-wall, in-wall, or in-ceiling speakers can be added for surround and overhead channels, allowing the Décor 1SC v2 to anchor systems ranging from a streamlined 3.1 configuration to an immersive Dolby Atmos theater.
