The Paradigm Monitor SE 2000C is a 2-way center channel speaker designed to provide clear and detailed dialogue reproduction in home theater systems. Its three-driver configuration combines a 1-inch X-PAL™ aluminum dome tweeter with two 5.5-inch mineral-filled polypropylene mid/bass drivers.

The X-PAL™ tweeter incorporates Paradigm's Perforated Phase-Aligning (PPA™) Lens, which is designed to improve phase alignment, smooth output, and maintain detailed high-frequency reproduction. The mid/bass drivers use lightweight, rigid mineral-filled polypropylene cones with inverted dust caps and downroll surrounds.

The bass-reflex enclosure and 2.0 kHz crossover allow the drivers to work together as a cohesive system, while the 93 dB room sensitivity provides strong output with relatively modest amplifier power. Its frequency response extends from 65 Hz to 21 kHz on-axis.

With its compact horizontal design, 8-ohm compatibility, and 15–100 watt recommended amplifier range, the Monitor SE 2000C is designed to integrate easily into home theater systems. It is particularly well suited for pairing with other Monitor SE speakers to create a consistent front soundstage.
