Paradigm Releases DCS-208IW3 In-Wall Subwoofer
Paradigm says “subwoofers should not be seen but heard”, and that's why it has announced the addition of the DCS-208IW3 in-wall subwoofer to its vast offering of custom installation solutions.
The proudly Canadian giant of loudspeakers says its new addition is a more conventional version of the DCS-208FR3. Rather than featuring a fire-rated backbox, the DCS-208IW3 is designed for use with its new construction backbox (sold separately), the BX-208, or it can be retro-fitted without a backbox.
With powerful bass and zero-footprint, you get the best of both worlds, allowing you to add bass to any room without taking up valuable floor space.
The DCS-208 in-wall subwoofers are also compatible with the Paradigm X-300 subwoofer amplifiers. Custom DSP profiles maximise subwoofer performance, while onboard Anthem Room Correction (ARC) optimises the response for any environment.
Purpose-built for high output from a compact enclosure, with high efficiency and low distortion, the dual, 8” High-Excursion Carbon-Fiber-Reinforced Polypropylene woofers have a larger surface area than a 10” sub for powerful, accurate bass. The optional enclosure ensures consistent performance in any application while reducing sound transmission to other areas of the home.
Available in late August 2022, the Paradigm DCS-208 will sell for $949 RRP.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
