5-driver, 3-way hybrid floorstanding speaker • active bass with built-in 1000W RMS amplifier • 1" AL-MAC™ tweeter • 6" AL-MAG™ midrange • triple 8" Carbon-X unibody woofers • ARC Genesis room correction capability
The Paradigm Founder 120H Hybrid Floorstanding Speaker (each) is the flagship floorstanding model in Paradigm’s Founder Series, engineered for listeners who want full-range authority, advanced room integration, and true reference-level scale. Its hybrid design combines passive midrange and treble reproduction with actively powered bass, allowing the speaker to deliver exceptional low-frequency extension and impact while preserving the refinement, openness, and control expected from a premium high-end tower.
For serious two-channel and high-performance theater systems, this design offers the scale of a large full-range speaker with the added control benefits of powered, room-correctable bass.
AL-MAC™ and AL-MAG™ driver technologies — Paradigm’s ceramic-coated aluminum-magnesium tweeter and aluminum-magnesium midrange are engineered for low distortion, high speed, and excellent tonal precision through the most critical parts of the frequency range.
Powered low-frequency system — three 8" Carbon-X unibody bass drivers are managed by an internal DSP-controlled amplifier, allowing deeper extension, greater control, and more consistent bass performance than a purely passive design of comparable size.
ARC Genesis integration — built-in bass correction capability allows the speaker to adapt more effectively to real-world room conditions, which can be especially valuable in larger, open, or acoustically difficult spaces.
In a carefully matched system, the Paradigm Founder 120H Hybrid Floorstanding Speaker (each) delivers the kind of authority, ease, and low-frequency confidence that define a true flagship loudspeaker.
It uses active, internally amplified bass while the midrange and tweeter are driven by your external amplifier. This hybrid approach allows greater low-frequency output and control.
Not necessarily. With extension down to 18Hz (DIN) and three actively powered 8" woofers, it is capable of true full-range performance in many high-end systems.
ARC Genesis is used to calibrate and optimize the speaker’s bass response for the room, helping improve low-frequency balance and integration.
The speaker is compatible with 8-ohm amplifiers and has a recommended amplifier range of 15 to 400 watts for the passive mid/high section.
It is best for listeners who want statement-level floorstanding performance with deeper bass, greater room adaptability, and less need for separate low-frequency reinforcement.
