CUSTOM 4X12 OWNER’S MANUAL
A MESSAGE FROM DIAMOND AMPLIFICATION
Thank you and congratulations on your purchase of a Diamond Amplification
speaker cabinet. We are pleased you have chosen us and hope you will have many
years of enjoyment from your new speaker cabinet!
Remember - the cabinet you just received is brand new, including the speakers.
With any speaker, there is a “break-in” period. This means that your cabinet will go
through tonal changes as you play it for the first days/weeks of its life. Speakers often
require anywhere from 5 to 15 hours of play time before you start to hear their real
character. (See enclosed sheet on “How Do I Break In My Speakers?”)
We at Diamond personally test and put 5 hours of break in time on each cabinet
before they ship. Unfortunately, given our level of production and commitments to our
artists, customers and dealers, we can not break every cabinet in completely. So we
are forced to assign a burdensome task to our customers - PLAY LOUD and break
those speakers in!
Very truly yours,
DIAMOND AMPLIFICATION

HOW DO I BREAK IN MY SPEAKERS?
Important Note! Before breaking it in it's advisable to "warm up" the speaker
gently for a few minutes with low-level playing or background hum.
Break in a speaker with a fat, clean tone: turn up the power amp volume to full,
and control the level with the preamp gain. Use a level that will be quite loud, but not
painful in a normal size room.
Have the bass and mid up full, and the treble at least half. On your guitar, use the
middle pick up position (if your guitar has more than one pick up) and play for 10-15
minutes using lots of open chords, and chunky percussive playing. This will get the cone
moving, and should excite all the cone modes and get everything to settle in nicely.
The speaker will continue to mature over the years, but this will get it 95% of the
way to tonal perfection in the shortest time.
