The Mini MkIII is paradigm's take on the classic two-way mini-speaker , with a 6½ inch woofer and a 1 inch tweter. Both the translucent polypropylene woofer and the ferrofluid damped, textile-dome tweeter are built from scratch right in Paradigm's factory, along with nearly every other part that goes into the line. Few speaker companies can make this boast, because few speaker companies have the brains to actually get into the speaker driver busisness themselves - most of the speakers you see on the market, even high-end models, use off-the-shelf drivers from various OEM suppliers. Paradigm's ability to build thier own drivers gives them tremendous advantages when it comes to quality control and custom design.
The Mini MkIII is a ported design, with a bass-reinforcing port located on the speaker's rear panel. The port-loaded woofer, plus the Mini's deceptively deep 13 by 8 by 11-inch cabinet, allow for deeper and louder bass response than most of the two-way mini speakers in this price class. placed on the recommended 22-inch Premier stands, the Minis look way too small for the amount of room-filling sound they can deliver.
