whichever is first. However, upon purchase, completion of the online registration and installation by an authorized DAT dealer

your warranty period will be extended to two (2) years. This warranty extension offer will only be recognized upon completion

of the online registration of your product within 30 days of the date of purchase.

THIS WARRANTY IS NOT TRANSFERABLE AND APPLIES ONLY TO THE ORIGINAL PURCHASER OF THIS PRODUCT

IN ITS ORIGINAL INSTALLATION. Original purchaser must reside in the United States and be able to provide proof of

purchase and installation with the sales receipt and completion of online regoistration from the authorized DAT retailer that

TDX™ TECHNOLOGY ADVANTAGE:SYSTEM NOTES:

Diamond Audio Technologies.

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 significantly raising the existing level of performance.

To understand TDX™ speaker technology, it must first be compared to that of a convention-

al speaker 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™ motors use a small but

very efficient high temperature Neodymium magnet mounted inside the voice coil. The

geometry and material selection for the motors have all been optimized for ideal thermal

dissipation. The TDX™ thermal efficiency 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 fills any surface voids that may be present in this mating surface.

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

The new HEX™ Pro products take this TDX™ Technology and expand on it to maximize

the benefit 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 internally damped liquid crystal fiber cone, our patented dual-tuned chamber

tweeter along with our extruded aluminum, high power crossover to make the very best

speaker system available in mobile audio. Period.

When mounting the tweeters, make sure desired location can accommodate the hole

size, overall diameter, and depth required. Cut the hole in the surface chosen and feed

the speaker wire through. Remove the tweeter mount ring by unscrewing it counter

clockwise. Connect speaker wire to tweeter terminals and mount tweeter in hole using

provided screws. When the tweeter is secure, replace mounting ring by screwing it on

clockwise.

Each HEX PRO component system comes with a pair of model specific adjustable cross-

overs giving you attentuation and phase adjustments. The tweeter adjustment has settings

for -2dB of attenuation, OdB or +2dB of gain. There is also a “Phase switch” that you may

use in different application/locations to correct for acoustical phase issues casued by

placement of the drivers in the vehicles particular enviroment.

Each HEX PRO component crossover has a third set of outputs marked “RAF”. This stands for Rear Acoustic Fill. This output

can be used to power and additional speaker off the same channel without effecting the impedance load on the source unit.

The level of this output is pre-determined at -10dB of attenuation, for a REAL “rear fill” This creates a much more real

stereo image and a bigger sound stage
