HEX Series Components by Diamond Audio Technology-
The Ultimate In Mobile Sound

In the ideal world an audio transducer would reproduce all frequencies equally, requiring no assistance from other drivers and no signal-degrading crossover. Perfection requires a driver whose cone is inherently stiff, with no resonant signature, and having zero mass. Toward this ideal, the loudspeaker engineers at Diamond Audio Technology have pioneered the use of space age composites similar to those developed by the aerospace industry for "stealth" fighter aircraft. The Diamond Audio Hexacone is a composite sandwich in which thin layers of bulletproof Kevlar are thermally bonded to a flameproof Nomex honeycomb core. Hexacone composite is 70 times stiffer, yet up to 70% lighter than conventional paper or polymer cones. Hexacone exhibits such broad, smooth frequency response that no other drivers and associated crossover elements are needed to completely reproduce the entire midrange frequency band, extending to nearly 7 octaves! The results are tonal and harmonic accuracy as well as pinpoint imaging. Audition the Hexacone Series by Diamond Audio Technology. We're confident that you will judge them as the ultimate in mobile sound.

The HEX Midrange features:

Proprietary Hexacone Technology - Manufactured in Germany, internationally patented.
Edge-wound CCA Voice Coil - Ribbon thin Copper-Clad Aluminum (CCA) voice coil wire is edge-wound on a high temperature Kapton former to create this advanced motor assembly.
Butyl Rubber Surrounds - Long excursion for superior bass response. Excellent damping characteristics. Impervious to sun and moisture.
Custom-Cast Aluminum Alloy Frames - Antimagnetic, nonresonant, very ridged. The perfect environment to maintain our precision driver geometries. Assures linear response after installation and for a lifetime. Laboratory treated to a weatherproof, electrostatically applied, 3-layer Diamond Dust™ finish.
Flat Progressive Spider - Insures precise voice coil centering and accurate dynamic linearity. Breathable porous fabric aids in voice coil cooling.
"Intercooled" Motor - The high efficiency motor assembly is dynamically cooled via rear vented 1-piece pole/backplate. This design effectively pumps hot air out, and cool air into the voice coil area.
Diamond Terminology - Machined solid brass terminals with setscrew locking. Nickel-plated, and polymer encapsulated, assuring a corrosion resistant, permanent connection with no possibility of short-circuiting.

The HEX Tweeter features:

Model S.0ts Silk Dome - 1-inch diameter. Low mass, inherently well damped, and very smooth. Precision integral silk surround. High temperature aluminum former. Available in the S600s, S500s and S400s systems.
Model S.0ta Aluminum Dome - 1-inch diameter. One-piece dome on a light, high temperature Nomex former. Fast and smooth response with excellent high frequency extension. Rubber surround provides excellent damping. Available in the S600a, S500a and S400a systems.

Both models feature:

Neodymium Magnet - Approx. 1/2 oz. of the highest grade, high temperature neo magnet in a 2-oz. motor for high efficiency and power handling for the life of the system. Small and easy to install.

Ferrofluid Cooling - Ultra Low Viscosity (ULV) magnetic fluid bathes voice coil gap. Smoothes response. Cools the coil for high power handling and reliability. · Surface, flush and angle mounting hardware included.

The HEX Crossover features:

Model Specific, Computer Optimized Topology - Four different models, each specifically designed to precisely mate the transducers to their respective HEX systems.
Audiophile Parts - Only low loss, heavy gauge, oxygen free inductors and metalized film capacitors are used in the signal path.
Cast Aluminum Housing - dissipates heat for reliability in high power applications
Selectable Tweeter Phase and Level - Compensates for less than ideal mounting locations.
Rear Acoustic Fill (RAF) - Unique to Diamond Audio, this output provides an acoustically correct source for rear ambiance drivers.
