ABOUT PARADIGM

WALL MOUNTING

In the early 1980s Paradigm was just an idea in the minds of a couple of twenty-somethings who loved music and wanted to share the love.

Unlike today, there was no 225,000 square-foot factory, no 36,000-cu.-ft. on-site anechoic measurement chamber, just a desire to make really

good sounding speakers and sell them at a down to earth price.Today Paradigm speakers are sold on six continents.We’ve been voted the

#1 speaker brand 22 times* and fans scour the web to buy used versions of our original speakers.That should tell you something about the

quality of our products. For more information visit www.paradigm.com.

Refer to the Set-Up Guide included with your system for detailed instructions on wall mounting your speakers.

Your MilleniaOne CT system is a Paradigm Reference product.That means it boasts a state-of-the-art design and premium parts including

die-cast aluminum enclosures on the speakers and die-cast aluminum extruded subwoofer housing. In other words … it’s got loads of very

cool high-end stuff that you won’t ﬁnd in any other compact audio system. For those who salivate over technical details, we’ve included

Tech Specs section in the back of this manual to give you the skinny on why your system sounds so good!

The difference the MilleniaOne CT will make to your music, movies and gaming can’t be put into words, but you’ll hear it and you’ll feel it. It’s

an experience that takes you beyond two little speakers and a subwoofer to a place where you’re absolutely lost in the experience.It’s the

Paradigm Difference.We guarantee you won’t be able to keep that difference a secret. And we hope you don’t. Spread the word! Talk about

your Paradigms.BRAG about them! Play them and let others listen! We’re all different and our sound should reﬂect that. Some of us like

movies,others love music, others are gaming enthusiasts. some of us love it all!

No matter who you are, or where you live, what you like,or

what you do,we want to be

The Ofﬁcial Sound of You
