SPECIAL THANKS

Dear Valued Customer,

All of us at Diamond Audio would like to thank you for your purchase of a HEX Pro speaker system. HEX Pro component systems and subwoofers are the very best speakers available for use in the automobile environment. By choosing these products you recognize the value in using only the best. With our proprietary HEX™ cones and neo motors that utilize our patented TDX™ technology, we know you will be satised with these systems for years to come.

Please keep in mind that prolonged exposure to sound pressure levels in excess of 100 dB can cause permanent hearing loss. This high performance speaker system can exceed that level, so please exercise restraint in its operation in order to preserve your ability to enjoy its delity in the future.

Because of their exible installation possibilities, please consider having your new speakers professionally installed by an authorized Diamond Audio dealer. This will assure a clean and efcient installation, and extend your one year warranty to three years.

At Diamond Audio Technologies, we strive to bring honest value and excellent quality to all of the products we build. By your purchase of this product, you have joined the growing family of discerning listeners who demand only the best. Welcome!

The Diamond Audio Team

TDX™ TECHNOLOGY

Thermal-Dyne eXtreme™ is a fundamentally different solution. The concept is simple, eliminate the detrimental effects of heat in a loudspeaker system. The solution however, is quite complex. Our engineers decided to start with a fresh sheet of paper and build a new line of products that addressed the thermal problems and shortcomings of conventional designs while signicantly raising the existing level of performance.

™

To understand TDX design. At the heart of every speaker is a permanent magnet motor structure that provides the magnetic energy, or force to move the voice coil back and forth within the magnetic air gap. Conventional speakers use a large ceramic magnet surrounding the voice coil that actually retains heat rather than dissipating it. TDX mounted inside the voice coil. The geometry, venting and material selection for the motors have all been optimized for ideal thermal dissipation. The TDX™ thermal efciency is nearly (5) times greater than conventional designs. In conjunction with the motor design, TDX™ Technology utilizes die-cast aluminum frame structures to act as a heat sink for the encapsulated motor structure. To insure maximum heat transfer from the encapsulated motor case to the aluminum frame, a special thermal paste lls any surface voids that may be present in this mating surface.

speaker technology, it must rst be compared to that of a conventional speaker

™

motors use a small but very efcient high temperature Neodymium magnet

™

The evolution of TDX Pro component systems take this TDX

Technology can be seen in the new HEX™ Pro series of products. The new HEX™

™

Technology and expand on it to maximize the benet for superior full spectrum audio performance. To faithfully reproduce an extended frequency range, the materials and design must be optimal. This coupled with a demand for very high power handling, is

™

extremely challenging. These systems utilize an improved version of our legendary HEX

cone, our patented dual-tuned chamber tweeter along with our extruded aluminum, high power, programmable crossover to make the very best speaker system available in mobile audio. Period.
