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 delity in the future.
Because of their exible installation possibilities, please consider having your new speakers
professionally installed by an authorized Diamond Audio dealer. This will assure a clean and efcient
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!

D6 CONVERTIBLE SPEAKER SYSTEMS
CONVERTIBILITY
Your new D6 speaker system has the unique ability to
be used as either a component or a coaxial speaker.
Depending on your installation requirements, the tweeter
can be installed separately or mounted directly to the
midbass/midrange unit with the supplied kit. This
provides for the most installation exibility possible.
See the drawing below for more details.
Step 2 - Unscrew Phase Plug
Twist phase plug in a counter-
clockwise direction.
Step 1 - Remove Boot
Carefully remove the rubber
boot from the magnet.
Step 3 - Assemble Tweeter Post
Carefully feed the tweeter wires through
the holes and snap tweeter into place on
top of the post .Secure with screw.
Step 4 - Attach Tweeter
Carefully feed the tweeter wires through
the post and through the magnet.
Step 5 - Attach Tweeter Wires
Attach the tweeter wires to their
proper terminals.
Step 6 - Carefully Replace Boot
Carefully replace the motor boot to
cover and protect the tweeter wires.
Firmly grasp the
tweeter post and turn
to unlock until you
feel a “click”.
After you feel the “click” of
the tweeter post unlocking,
carefully pull the post straight
up from the cone.

Tweeter Mounting
When ush or surface mounting tweeters, make sure the desired location can accommodate the
hole size and depth required. Mount the cup using provided hardware (ush mount illustration shown
on right.) Mount surface cup at desired angle with provided screws in tweeter mounting kit. Snake
speaker wires through tweeter cup, connect tweeter to wires, and snap tweeter into cup by aligning
the notches. Be careful not to push on the center of the tweeter grill.
Crossover Programming
Each D6 component set comes with a pair of model specic programmable crossovers. Under the
cover there is a jumper marked “TWEETER” “REFERENCE” or “- 2dB” (See
– IN + – WFR + – TWT + – RAF +
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
may be improved by switching the phase of the
tweeter. This can be easily achieved by removing
the crossover cover and moving the jumper inside
the crossover marked “TWEETER PHASE” (See
– IN + – WFR + – TWT + – RAF +
).
RAF Outputs
Each D6 component crossover has a third set of
outputs marked “RAF”(See
– IN + – WFR + – TWT + – RAF +
). 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 unltered or full range.
