MILLENIA LP TRIO ™ OWNERS MANUAL Paradigm Electronics Inc.
IMPORTANT: READ BEFORE WALL-MOUNTING YOUR SPEAKERS. Wall mount your speaker securely enough so that it cannot fall and cause personal injury or damage to property. Paradigm DOES NOT supply hardware for mounting speakers to the wall. Hardware shown in this manual is for example only and will vary depending on the wall type. Always use screws appropriate for wall type and weight of speakers. If installing into drywall, install into 1/2˝ (13 mm) or 5/8˝ (16 mm) drywall only.

YOUR NEW SPEAKER Break-In Although your speaker will sound great ‘out of the box’, it will sound even better once it’s ‘broken in.’ Allow your speaker to play for several hours before you begin to listen critically. Drivers use ferro-fluid that can thicken at temperatures below 10° C (50° F). Surround material used in the bass/midrange units is made of a compound that may stiffen in colder temperatures. If your speaker has been transported or stored in the cold, let it warm to room temperature before use.
HOW TO AVOID SPEAKER DAMAGE (continued) 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.
PLACEMENT Accurate Timbre For the most accurate and natural timbre, position speaker so that sound from the high-frequency drivers reaches the listener at approximately ear level. Keep in mind, your speaker will allow for higher than usual placement of the high-frequency drivers, a particularly important feature when wall mounting.
