Soundbar Reviews

This graph shows the quasi-anechoic (employing close-miking of all woofers) frequency response of the Paradigm Soundscape Sound Bar (purple trace). The left channel was measured with grille at a distance of 1 meter.

The Soundscape’s listening-window response (a five-point average of axial and +/–15-degree horizontal and vertical responses) measures + 7.75 /– 3.37 decibels from 200 hertz to 10 kilohertz. An average of axial and +/–15-degree horizontal responses measures +8.59/–3.22 dB from 200 Hz to 10 kHz. The –3dB point is at 43 Hz, and the –6dB point is at 40 Hz.—MJP
