Paradigm CC-190 v6 – 4-Driver, 3-Way Center Channel – Made in Canada

A highly capable, Made-in-Canada three-way centre channel speaker from Paradigm’s respected Monitor Series v6, praised by The Absolute Sound for its “exceptional resolving power and the ability to reproduce nuances that other center speakers miss.”

The CC-190 v6 stands apart from the vast majority of centre channel speakers by virtue of its dedicated three-way crossover design. Most centre channels are two-way designs that ask a single driver to handle both midrange and bass simultaneously — a compromise that can blur dialogue clarity and smear sonic detail. The CC-190 addresses this directly with a dedicated 90mm (3.5-inch) M-ICP ferro-fluid cooled midrange driver handling the critical vocal frequencies, flanked by twin 140mm (5.5-inch) carbon-infused polypropylene bass drivers in their own crossover region, and a 25mm (1-inch) H-PTD pure titanium dome tweeter managing the top octaves. The result is centre channel performance that The Absolute Sound described as exceptional — clear, nuanced, and faithful to the original recording.

The second-order electro-acoustic crossovers at 300 Hz and 2.8 kHz are carefully chosen to keep each driver operating well within its optimal range, and Paradigm’s GRIP chassis on the midrange and bass drivers provides a rigid, resonance-free mounting platform. At 93 dB room sensitivity with an 8-ohm compatible impedance, the CC-190 is an easy, efficient load for any AV receiver. MagneShield magnetic shielding allows safe placement directly beneath or above a television.

As with every component we sell at Radique Audio, this unit has been thoroughly tested before listing.
