SPECIAL MOUNTING AND SETUP FOR MOlSWT SWIVEL MOUNT

The next generation of Diamond Audio Pro Audio High Frequency drivers adds an exciting twist (swivel) to the NEW line of horn tweeters. Below is how to disassemble and reassemble the tweeter.
Its different than our M01T tweeter in that it does NOT have threaded mounting rings. And MUST be mounted with 6 holes in whatever sub structure you are mounting it to. A much more solid mount, but more thought has to be in the setup. The advantage is the the tweeter can be swiveled slightly into the direction of the driver. Giving better “on-axis” listening response.

SYSTEM DESIGN -PASSIVE/ACTIVE

All MSPRO Horn Tweeters comes with a special 12dB per octave crossover. It is HIGHLY recommended that this be used at ALL times – UNLESS you are using an active crosssover set at above 5kHz. This system, shown is “Bi-Amped, but not ‘Fully” active. Front channels of this 4 channel amplifier are driving the mid bass drivers. Rear channel are driving the tweeters. The mid bass is shown with a 0.1 mH inductor in series to cross over the midbass at 6Khz with a 6dB roll-off. This setup makes it easier to adjust level of ths mid bass versus the tweeter.

TYPICAL “Bl-AMPED” SYSTEM USING PASSIVE CROSSOVERS

SPECIAL NOTE
Tweeter connected “out-of-phase” to be acoustically “in-Phase”
| SUPER SPECIAL NOTE****

Make sure to connect the cap side of crossover to the amplif er!!!

SYSTEM DESIGN -FULLY ACTIVE

The MSPRO series horn tweeters and Midbass drivers can be run in multiple pairs. It is HIGHLY recommended to use some kind of EQ/processor. IF you plan on doing ALL active setup seriously think about purchasing a DSP processor. Using a DSP processor makes it much easier to control and tune your system. Think about using the Diamond Audio DSP processor – BTDSP-46. Small 4 in 6 out DSP processor, simple to use. Controlled and setup by your SmartPhone.

INSTALlATION

Installing the Speakers
Your new Diamond Audio series speakers were designed with the flexibility to be installed in multiple locations. However, to ensure the best performance possible, it is important to isolate the front sound waves of the speaker from its rear sound waves. This is done by securely mounting the speaker to a flat surface known as a baffle. Make sure to seal the speaker to ensure there are no air leaks around its frame.

Selecting a Location
Since these are “Pro Drivers” we know the likely hood of mounting in stock locations is pretty non-existant. This means basic audio concepts should be thought of when installing. If installing multiple mid bass or tweeter drivers it is ALWAYS best to mount in vertical rows. This gives the best vertical and horizonatal dispersion charteristics of the drivers. Venting (or porting) is not neccesary. Multiple midbass drivers should be used to every single horn driver (horn tweeters tend to be 1OdB louder than the mids). We HIGHLY recommend that for the BEST sound you put a sound deadening mat on the door “skin”, The more “damped” your car is …. the better it will ultimately sound!!!
