, a fundamentally different solution.  The design concept of TDX

™ 

subwoofer technology was to start with a fresh sheet of paper and build a new product that 
addressed all of the problems and shortcomings of conventional subwoofer designs while 
significantly raising the existing level of performance.  In today's market, a subwoofer should be 
optimized for use in a relatively compact enclosure, should handle extreme levels of power, and 
displace (or move) a large volume of air without any audible distortion.  Conventional subwoofers, 
with their dated materials and motor structures compromise several of these requirements.
 
 

The "fundamentally different" TDX

 subwoofer technology meets all these requirements in 

unequaled, elegant fashion.  We say fundamentally different because the heart, the motor 
structure, of this incredible device is unlike any existing motor today.  Because of its superior 
design, many of the problems that plague existing conventional subwoofers are eliminated.
 
 

To understand TDX

 speaker technology, it must first be compared to that of a conventional 

speaker design.  At the heart of every speaker is a permanent magnet motor structure that 
provides the magnetic energy, or force to move the voice coil back and forth within the magnetic 
air gap.  Conventional speakers use a large ceramic magnet surrounding the voice coil that 
actually retains heat rather than dissipating it.  TDX

 motors use a small but very efficient high 

temperature Neodymium magnet mounted inside the voice coil.  The geometry, venting and 
material selection for the motors have all been optimized for ideal thermal dissipation.  The TDX

 

thermal efficiency is nearly (5) times greater than conventional designs. In conjunction with the 
motor design, TDX

 Technology utilizes die-cast aluminum frame structures to act as a heat sink 

for the encapsulated motor structure.  To insure maximum heat transfer from the encapsulated 
motor case to the aluminum frame, a special thermal paste fills any surface voids that may 
present in this mating surface.

 

In addition to this superior motor structure, the HEX

 PRO subwoofer incorporates a dual 

mirrored spider and NBR surround suspension system, and our patented HEX

 cone technology.  

The result is the most dynamic performing sub woofer in mobile electronics reaching the design 
goal of audiophile sound quality performance, SPL capabilities, and continuing the Diamond Audio 
tradition of providing the finest products available.
