S/N:

Dear Valued Customer,

Congratulations on your purchase of a Diamond Audio Technology loudspeaker

system. Your new HE  Series® system is comprised of loudspeakers and

crossovers that have been precision engineered to produce the highest quality

audio system for your vehicle.

Since 1995, DAT has been dedicated to excellence in sound reproduction tech-

nology. Our products represent the latest advances in material science, adhe-

sives and manufacturing proccesses. As new materials are developed, we con-

stantly evaluate their application to the loudspeaker realm. Only those items

that have exceptional merit will find their way into a Diamond product.

We strive to bring honesty, value and excellent quality to all of the products we

offer. By your purchase of this component set, you have joined that fraternity

(or sorority) of discriminating listeners who demand only the best. Welcome to

the club.

Please keep in mind that prolonged exposure to sound pressure levels in excess

of 100dB can cause permanent hearing loss. This high performance speaker

system can exceed this level. Please exercise restraint in its operation in order to

preserve your ability to enjoy its fidelity for years to come.

Sincerely,

Diamond Audio Technology, Inc.

Rikki Farr

Chairman, CEO

Connections should first be made with the rear cover removed to allow for adjustment of the

crossover settings. The tweeter level has jumper positions for +2dB, 0dB and -2dB attenuation.

hen you have chosen the final settings, replace the rear cover section and tighten the two hold-

down screws.

The following diagram  shows the basic installation for the HEX 2-way systems. This basic

layout is the starter for many show winning audio systems. The computer-optimized crossovers

implement a Second-Order Linkwitz-Riley aligned filter, Zobel correction and Peak indication.

To begin, (1) connect the amplifiers speaker output to the crossovers INPUT terminals. Then, (2)

connect the terminals labeled OOFER to the HEX woofer/midbass driver and, (3) connect the

T EETER terminals to the HEX tweeter. Finished! The remaining RAF outputs may be used for an

optional (available from your DAT dealer) rear-fill driver, coaxial speaker or even the factory original

rear speakers. For applications requiring timbre-matched drivers, we suggest using the S4.0m or

S5.0m units. The RAF output features attenuation of -10dB for optimum level matching and com-

pensation for vehicle size and length.

Installation 

The HEX Series 2-way systems S400, S500 and S600 include an RAF rear-fill output as part of

the crossover design. The RAF output is unfiltered to maintain a correct phase relationship to the

front stage, however, the output is attenuated by -10dB to optimize for typical vehicle size and

length. Rear-fill drivers are available separately from your DAT dealer.

As shown in diagram  below, (1) connect the amplifiers speaker output (observing correct polar-

ity) to the crossovers INPUT terminals. Then, (2) connect the terminals labeled OOFER to the

woofer/midbass driver (i.e., S4.0m, S5.0m or S6.0m). (3), connect the T EETER terminals to the

S.0ta/S.0ts tweeter. The RAF outputs (4), connect to the rear-fill driver. e suggest using the

S4.0m or S5.0m as the sound is timbre-matched to the front system.
