Works with Alexa
Paradigm DTS Play-Fi products now have “Works with Alexa” certification, meaning they can be controlled using voice commands given to an Amazon Echo, Echo Dot, Echo Show, Fire TV Cube, or other Alexa voice command-enabled device. Alexa functionality is activated by using the Alexa app to enable the DTS Play-Fi skill. This links your Alexa account to "Works with Alexa" DTS Play-Fi compatible products like this one. After installing the skill, Alexa will know your speaker by name and allow you to control volume and playback functions such as track skip, mute, pause, and stop or request a song to play in a specific room or group of rooms linked together. Once an Alexa voice command is used to start audio playback, the DTS Play-Fi app can be used to dynamically add more products to the streaming session. Additionally, Alexa's Routines feature can be used to create events that initiate audio playback on your DTS Play-Fi speaker, such as setting up your speaker to work as an alarm clock by starting your favorite song.
HDMI 2.0a and HDCP 2.2 support
PW Soundbar has three HDMI 2.0a inputs with HDCP 2.2 and full support for 4K/60 playback and HDR (High Dynamic Range), as well as one HDMI output with Audio Return Channel capabilities.

Beautiful OLED Display
The Paradigm PW Soundbar's onboard OLED display is made from an organic material that emits its own light, unlike a traditional LCD display that requires a backlight and filters. The striking advantages of an OLED display include superior contrast, wide viewing angles, and a fast response rate.
Wireless Surround Sound
Finally you can ditch the long surround sound speaker wires in your room! Add a pair of PW 600 or PW 300 speakers for your rear channels and stream wireless surround information from the PW Soundbar to experience rich, immersive surround sound without the wires.
Placement Options For Every Application
The unique positioning of the 9 drivers provides 3 distinct placement options without sacrificing audio performance. Whichever mounting position you choose, the OLED display remains “right-reading”.
Three-Dimensional Soundfield™
PW Soundbar drivers are divided into three sets within the narrow soundbar structure. Each set is aimed at a scientifically-determined angle, to send sound information out to specific locations within your listening area. This driver-aiming arrangement delivers a more uniform sound field, with more dynamic range and more realistically blended response, than any other soundbar in this class. PW Soundbar succeeds where other soundbars fall flat: All around you.
Audio Optimized For Any Space
Paradigm’s Premium Wireless Series products all feature exclusive Anthem Room Correction (ARC™) Technology. ARC uses an exclusive Calibration Microphone and advanced DSP algorithms to quickly and easily optimize speaker performance in any space. In just a few easy steps the microphone measures sound output, compares it to scientifically optimal response curves, and instantly tunes your wireless speaker’s output for perfect sound. You’ll actually hear the difference Anthem Room Correction makes. Premium Wireless products also now support ARC Mobile, making it even easier to tune your speakers using an iOS device.
Add An Optional Subwoofer, Wirelessly
The included subwoofer wireless receiver makes it easy to equip your Paradigm PW Soundbar with any subwoofer (not included). Up to a 45-ft wireless range allows flexible speaker/subwoofer placement.
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.
