Features

Outdoor-Rated: The Paradigm Stylus 170 loudspeaker is designed for use outdoors where it will provide high-performance sound. A reinforced PolyGlass mineral-filled enclosure, aluminum grille, stainless steel and brass hardware, plus gold-plated binding posts, and stainless-steel/polymer brackets are weather, water, and UV-resistant - even under adverse weather conditions

2-Way Driver Design: The Paradigm Stylus 170 outdoor loudspeaker employs a 2-way driver design featuring a 1" PTD tweeter and 4.5" ICP woofer for high-performance outdoor sound.

• 1" PTD Tweeter: The PTD (Pure-Titanium Dome) tweeter utilizes ferro-fluid cooled magnet system, is well damped, and features a unique integrated waveguide to deliver smooth, clear, extended high frequency response with controlled sound dispersion.
• 4.5" ICP Woofer: The 4.5" ICP (Injection-Moldded Co-Polymer Polypropylene) cone woofer employs an oversized magnet assembly and rigid motor structure to ensure a very detailed, and authentic mid/bass sound.

Sealed PolyGlass Enclosure: The Paradigm Stylus 170 outdoor loudspeaker features a PolyGlass mineral-filled reinforced enclosure that is fully sealed (no ports) for protection against the outdoor environment, even under adverse weather conditions. The sealed PolyGlass mineral-filled enclosure comes with a UV-resistant aluminum grille to protect the tweeter and woofer drivers from the weather.

Gold-Plated Binding Posts: The Paradigm Stylus 170 is outfitted with a set of binding post terminals that will accept bare wire (up to 12AWG), pin-connectors, spade-lugs, and banana plugs (single only). The binding post terminals are gold-plated to resist corrosion and offer excellent audio signal transfer.

Placement & Mounting Options: To achieve the best quality of sound, place a pair of Stylus 170 speakers far enough apart to achieve good stereo separation, but not so far apart that you won't be able to hear both speakers throughout most of the listening area. For optimum results, measure the approximate distance from your listening area to your speakers and then position the speakers about 1/2 to 3/4 of that distance from each other.

• Surface-Mount Installation: The included stainless-steel/polymer bracket, plus steel and brass hardware allow you to surface mount the speaker to the outside of your home, such as an exterior wall or under an eve. The Stylus 170 can be surface mounted vertically or horizontally. The surface-mount bracket is a fixed design and does not tilt or swivel.
  • Vertical Dimensions: 5.6875" (w) x 7.625" (h) x 6.0625" (d)
  • Horizontal Dimensions: 7.625" (w) x 5.6875" (h) x 6.0625" (d)
• Table-Top Installation: The Paradigm Stylus 170 can also be simply positioned on a flat tabletop surface, either vertically or horizontally. However, because of the rounded shape of the cabinet, the speaker does "rock" back-and-forth when seated on a flat surface.
  • Vertical Dimensions: 5.6875" (w) x 7.625" (h) x 5.5625" (d)
  • Horizontal Dimensions: 7.625" (w) x 5.6875" (h) x 5.5625" (d)

Partnered With The NRC: Paradigm is partnered with Canada’s world-renowned NRC in ongoing research to reveal the true nature of sound and human hearing. Findings influence design and performance specs, resulting in a uniquely realistic listening experience, backed by sound science.
