What we know about the measurement:

Paradigm Founder 40B is a passive center that cost around 1660 USD

  • Quality of the measurement data is high.
  • Origin of the data is ErinsAudioCorner.
  • Format of the data is generated by a Klippel NFS .
  • Sensitivity: 88.2dB (avg. 100Hz-1kHz for 2.83V measured at 1m).
  • -3dB (resp. -6db) point v.s. reference is at 69.6Hz (resp. 52.7Hz).
  • Reference level is normalised to -0.1dB computed over the frequency range [300.0Hz, 5000.0Hz].
  • Frequency deviation is 1.7dB over the same frequency range.
  • Directivity
    • Horizontal directivity is (-30.0°, 90.0°) between 1kHz and 10kHz. Angle computed for +/-6dB.
    • Vertical directivity is (-20.0°, 30.0°) between 1kHz and 10kHz. Angle computed for +/-6dB.
  • Tonality (Preference) Score
    • Tonality (Preference) Score is 4.99 and would be 7.22 with a perfect subwoofer.
