SPECIAL THANKS

Dear Valued Customer,

Thank you for choosing Diamond Audio D6 speakers. These speakers represent the latest advances in acoustic technology, and like all Diamond Audio products, are hand built and tested using the highest grade components and state of the art techniques. When installed properly, they will provide many years of accurate sound reproduction.

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 fidelity in the future.

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

At Diamond Audio, 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!

Crossover Programming

Each D6 component set comes with a pair of model specific programmable crossovers. Under the cover there is a jumper marked “TWEETER” “REFERENCE” or “- 2dB” (See below). Tweeter attenuation can be achieved by removing the crossover cover and moving the jumper to the appropriate position. The REFERENCE position has no attenuation effect on the tweeter.

Tweeter Phase

When using as a component set with the tweeter mounted in a separate location, perfromance

– IN + – WFR + may be improved by switching the phase of the

– TWT + – RAF + tweeter. This can be easily achieved by removing the crossover cover and moving the jumper inside

).

– IN + – WFR + – TWT + – RAF +

RAF Outputs

Each D6 component crossover has a third set of outputs marked “RAF”(See ). This stands for Rear Acoustic Fill. This output can be used to power an additional speaker off the same channel without affecting the impedance load on the source unit.

This output provides 15-20% of the total power to the extra speaker and is unfiltered or full range.
