Compact, sleek design fits right in with your lifestyle

Exceptional Sound, Unparalleled Value

Beyond Home Theater in a Box

In the Paradigm Cinema 90 CT 5.1 Home Theater Surround Sound System, five award-winning Cinema speakers and a powerful Cinema subwoofer deliver performance and value like no conventional Home Theater in a Box (HTiB) can. The Cinema 90 CT system is made up of 2 Cinema 90 satellites, 2 Cinema ADP surrounds boasting Paradigm’s Adapted Dipole (ADP) technology for extraordinary surround performance, a Cinema CC center channel and a Cinema 90 CT subwoofer with 10-inch driver.

Buyer beware: most HTiB systems are all about price, not sound. carefully. When it comes to sound quality, these systems simply do not deliver. On the other hand, the Paradigm Cinema 90 CT system is all about performance. It delivers 5.1 audiophile quality sound without sacrificing lifestyle size, good looks or great price. The Cinema 90 CT is just as affordable as those other HTiB systems—but when it comes to performance, it leaves the other HTiBs in the box.

When Size and Sound Matter

While it's true that there are tiny satellite speakers aided by small subwoofers that can be hidden in many living spaces, when it comes to great audiophile sound these systems have never delivered--until now. Incorporating award-winning technology, the Cinema 90 CT system integrates beautifully, delivering the seamless music and home theater soundstage that is the hallmark of every Paradigm system.

The Cinema 90 satellites’ high-performance drivers reproduce low frequencies down to 110 Hz and high frequencies up to 20 kHz in stunning detail. Each has a 1-inch PTD Pure-Titanium Dome high-frequency drive unit and a 4-1/2-inch Injection-Molded Co-Polymer Bass/Midrange Cones.

The Cinema ADP surrounds feature a frequency response of 120 Hz to 20 kHz. Each has two 1-inch PTD Pure-Titanium Dome high-frequency drive units and two 3-1/2-inch Injection-Molded Co-Polymer Bass/Midrange Cones.

The Cinema CC center has a range of 130 Hz to 20 kHz, a 1-inch PTD Pure-Titanium Dome high-frequency driver and two 3-1/2-inch Injection-Molded Co-Polymer Bass/Midrange Cones.

Paradigm’s Cinema 90 CT system will bring your movies and games to life and make your music sound live.

Cinema 90 CT system components come with removable grills for maximum flexibility


Power, Impact, Refinement

The Cinema 90 CT system includes the powerful Cinema 90 CT subwoofer for an exceptional sensory experience. Its built-in, advanced, high-power discrete amplifiers provide tremendous high-current, low-distortion power. Advanced fiber-reinforced cones ensure clean, clear extended bass performance with tremendous output and superb control, while high-velocity, low-noise ports with critically flared openings supply maximum output efficiency and minimal turbulence distortion. The Cinema 90 CT subwoofer’s high-density hardboard enclosure limits panel resonances for clean, tight bass performance.

Small, Stylish, Sleek

Looking as good as it sounds, the Cinema 90 CT system has a sleek design and is finished in matte black. The components are compact, so they’ll add to your home’s décor without overwhelming it. The speakers can be placed on a bookshelf, wall-mounted or stand-mounted on the optional LS-30 Floorstanding Speaker Stands (sold separately).

Better Technology: Hear the Difference

When it comes to the practical application of technical knowledge, Paradigm is committed to doing it better. Paradigm’s research and development facilities are among some of the most sophisticated and comprehensive in the world. Highly advanced component design tools allow engineers to develop detailed virtual prototypes, enabling almost endless experimentation in the quest for better sounding, more reliable speakers.

Bass/midrange drivers deliver remarkably coloration-free response. High-pressure die-cast aluminum chassis prevent ringing and flexing while also functioning as heat sinks to ensure high power handling. High-Power Injection-Molded Co-Polymer Bass/Midrange Cones with advanced motor structures and powerful ceramic/ferrite magnets deliver audible results: smooth, exceptionally detailed and authentic midrange performance providing clearer, natural sounding vocals and articulate movie dialog. High-hysteresis butyl suspensions eliminate edge-hole distortion. High-temperature multi-layer voice coils and Apical formers ensure sonic accuracy and improve long-term reliability. Focused-field magnetic assemblies ensure low distortion and consistent frequency response, even at high output levels.

High-frequency drive units provide outstanding extended frequency response, while Controlled Waveguide faceplates and grills ensure exceptionally uniform high-frequency response throughout a wide listening window. Superior Pure-Titanium Domes with powerful neodymium magnets and ferrofluid cooling allow high thermal capacity and greater power handling, permitting the use of lower crossover points for superior off-axis response, lower distortion and longer service life. Highs are transparent with a superb sense of air and exceptional spaciousness.

The amplifiers’ patented high-power, high-current designs with oversized power supplies and massive heat sinks deliver tremendous--and instantaneous--power output at all times. Precision components and dual-sided, military-spec (FR4-rated) glass-epoxy circuit boards with plated through-holes produce superior performance and reliability.

To ensure superb consistency, Paradigm crossovers boast hand-selected precision parts. Multi-element frequency- and phase-coherent crossover networks are specially designed for each model. High-power, close-tolerance components are hand-selected for greater accuracy.

Paradigm speaker enclosures use acoustically inert high-density hardboard and strategically located radial braces as needed to limit unwanted resonances, increase enclosure stiffness and prevent ballooning effects. Acoustical damping material eliminates internal standing waves. Low-diffraction grills minimize interference from enclosure edges. High-velocity, low-noise ports allow maximum bass efficiency with minimum turbulence distortion.

Paradigm’s MagneShield technology prevents speakers’ stray magnetic fields from affecting CRT-based displays (Cinema ADP excluded).

5.0 out of 5 stars Low Price--Great Sound, October 9, 2009
This review is from: Paradigm Cinema 90 CT 5.1 Home Theater Surround Sound System (Black) (Electronics)
This system is far better than any big-box brand name system I've listened to.

Before purchasing this system I auditioned a Sony Bravia system and one of Paradigm's upper end systems. The Sony system sounded small and tinny and the subwoofer shook the floor but didn't provide good sound. I couldn't tell if the Sony system really provided better sound than my television speakers. The Paradigm $3000 monitor system I listened to was excellent but I got cold feet at the last minute about the price tag and the additional space requirements of having big speakers in a small living room.

The Cinema speakers are small but they do not sound small and they don't take up much space in your living room or bedroom. If you have a huge room or a dedicated theater then you might want to invest more money in your speakers. However, if you want a terrific entry level system, this is a really good one that won't make you feel like you're missing out on something.

I'm very pleased with my purchase.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good sound - no brackets, January 14, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Paradigm Cinema 90 CT 5.1 Home Theater Surround Sound System (Black) (Electronics)
Be careful with this product. Don't take me wrong - these have excellent sound. I just couldn't locate manufecturer-recommended brackets. I'd prefer to buy them through amazon as well. Also, for some reason, sub woofer keeps turning off during movies
