Get Ready To Rock With Paradigm's Rock Monitor 60-SM

With Pure Titanium Domes and Polypropylene Cones This Is No Garden-Variety Rock Speaker.

March 9, 2006

Paradigm introduces the Rock Monitor™ 60-SM, a high-performance stereo/mono outdoor “rock” speaker that offers two-channels of sound (left and right) from a single speaker. As more and more people discover the joys of entertaining outdoors, the demand for “rock” speakers is growing. Until now, however, sound has played second fiddle to cosmetics. With the durable and life-like Paradigm Rock-Monitor 60-SM, audiophiles can take the high performance sound normally associated with indoor speakers to the great outdoors. The Rock Monitor 60-SM features award-winning technology found in the company’s affordable high-end indoor Monitor series, including two 1-inch PTD™ pure-titanium domes and a 6-1/2-inch mineral-filled polypropylene bass/midrange cone. With its stereo/mono option and Dual-Directional™ soundfield (two tweeters are offset at 60° angles) the Rock Monitor 60-SM offers exceptional placement flexibility. One rock speaker wired for “stereo” is ideal in small areas less suited to a stereo pair of speakers, or where a single speaker is the preferred choice. In larger, or unusually shaped areas, multiple rock speakers each wired for “stereo,” will distribute sound evenly across an area. This eliminates the imbalances that can occur with stereo sound as people move around or are seated closer to one speaker than the other. Then there’s the “mono” option: two rock speakers, each wired for “mono” sound (one speaker for the left channel, the other for the right) can be used as a traditional stereo pair. This is particularly appropriate when the outdoor listening area is well defined and the speakers are positioned where people most often congregate, such as by the deck or poolside. The rock’s sealed cabinet is a sturdy weather, water, and UV resistant polymer with self-draining fissures. Available in three supremely realistic textured faux-stone finishes, the speaker will blend unobtrusively into the natural landscape, leaving your guests wondering where the great sound is coming from! Place the Rock Monitor SM-60R on the ground, in a flowerbed, on a deck or patio, or around the pool, and enjoy the luxury of true high-performance sound in the comfort of your own backyard. To prevent theft or unauthorized movement of your rock speaker Paradigm also includes a security spike with cable. The speaker is available in Fieldstone, Northeastern Dark Granite, or Western Sandstone. It weighs 12 lb. US FMV is $249.00. Full product specifications are available on Paradigm’s website. Availability is slated for Spring 2006. For more information on Paradigm please visit www.paradigm.com.
