I N T R O D U C T I O N  
Your new S T U D I O D R I V E R component set is part of an exciting line of  
loudspeakers. They are the definitive result of years of research and  
development, realized by the same engineering team charged with designing  
audiophile quality speaker systems for a select group of high performance  
German automobiles, working hand in hand with our own award-winning  
engineering staff. Like all S T U D I O D R I V E R products, they reflect our  
commitment to strive for Precision Reproduction of Pure Music Without  
Limits!  
STUDIODRIVER components employ cutting edge aluminum curvilinear cones  
to eliminate unwanted resonance inherent in conventional metal cone  
designs. Our use of an ultra-light and rigid aluminum cone allows a dramatic  
increase in sound velocity, or what we call "sonic-speed". This means  
impulses from the voice coil travel though the aluminum cone nearly four  
times faster than typical paper cones. Even more significant than pure speed,  
music is reproduced in a way that is clearly more dynamic, precise, detailed  
and distortion-free. In other words...sound reproduction has never been more  
REAL. Always respected in the audio community for its ability to dissipate  
heat efficiently, aluminum cones assure excellent cooling of the voice coil,  
resulting in increased power handling and reduced power compression.  
STUDIODRIVER loudspeakers also feature a unique copper cap over the pole  
piece, which effectively alters the magnetic field around the voice coil,  
minimizing the effect of "eddy currents", this results in a more controlled,  
linear impedance and phase response.  
The NT-1 25mm high frequency driver features a titanium dome for the perfect  
combination of superior strength and ultra-light weight.  
Note: STUDIODRIVER Component midrange and midbass loudspeakers employ  
pure aluminum cones. They can be damaged if they are not handled with care.  
Care should be taken during installation to avoid damage to the cones. Physical  
damage to the cones will not be covered under warranty.  
As always, STUDIODRIVER recommends that your component speakers be  
installed by an Authorized Dealer.

The tweeters are equipped with wires and attached connectors.  
The tweeter wires are designated solid black (-), and black with a white  
stripe (+). Locate the corresponding spade connectors from the hardware  
pack and crimp them to the end of your chosen speaker wire. Attach the  
positive speaker wire lead to the tweeter connector with the black wire with  
a white trace. Attach the negative speaker wire to the tweeter connector  
with the solid black wire.

C o n f i g u r i n g t h e N T- 1 Tw e e t e r  
Choose the desired method of mounting the tweeters. The N T- 1 tweeters  
can be surface or recess mounted while allowing rotation of the tweeter  
within the mount for optimal imaging.  
S u r f a c e M o u n t i n g  
Locate the disk designated "E" in the tweeter assembly drawing. Once a  
mounting location has been chosen, drill a hole into the mounting surface  
(first making sure there is space underneath) for the wires from the N T- 1  
tweeter using the large hole in the disk as a template. Mount the disk (with  
the small spring facing up) to the panel through the two small holes in the  
disk using two screws or small nuts and bolts (not supplied).  
Locate the surface mount trim ring "A" as shown in the drawing. Place the  
tweeter into the ring as shown. Drop the wires from the tweeter through the  
large hole in the disk and into the panel. Push down on the trim ring ("A")  
until it firmly "snaps" onto the disk ("E"). Rotate the tweeter to the desired  
angle.  
R e c e s s M o u n t i n g  
Locate the threaded mounting rings designated "B" or "C" in the drawing.  
The choice of "B" or "C" will depend on the thickness of the panel the tweeter  
will be mounted through. The "C" mounting ring will accommodate a panel  
thickness of up to 3/4 inch.  
Locate the disk designated "E" in the drawing. Slip the tweeter wires and  
connectors through the disk with the small spring on the disk facing the  
bottom of the tweeter. Place the tweeter and the disk through the back of  
the threaded mounting ring until the tweeter seats against the inside edge  
of the ring. Snap the disk into the groove on the inside of the mounting ring  
until it firmly "snaps" into place. Make sure it is fully seated.  
Once a mounting location has been chosen, drill a 2-1/8 hole in the panel.  
Insert the tweeter assembly into the hole until it seats.  
Locate the threaded collar designated "F" in the drawing. While holding the  
tweeter assembly onto the panel, thread the collar "F" onto the tweeter  
assembly from the back until it is tight.

M o u n t i n g C o n s i d e r a t i o n s for your Midwoofers  
STUDIODRIVER component speakers are designed to mount into most factory  
speaker locations with minimum effort. The speaker baskets are designed  
to be a universal fit.  
When designing your system, a good rule of thumb is to mount the tweeter  
close to the midrange/midbass speaker. This usually produces the most  
accurate soundstage and image.  
C u t t i n g M o u n t i n g H o l e s  
Before beginning, now is the time to consider professional installation of  
your new components.Amistake now can be costly. If you're set on installing  
these components yourself, read on.  
Determine a suitable location for the selected components. Make sure the  
area under the desired speaker location is free of obstacles such as  
computers, wires, fuel tanks, etc. Use a hole saw to make the cut. The  
correct hole saw size for the chosen speaker can be found on pages 2  
through 5 of this manual.  
P a s s i v e C r o s s o v e r s  
Choose a location for mounting the crossovers. The F N - 3 and F N - 6  
crossovers can be permanently mounted.  
Squeeze the sides of the F N - 3 housing and remove the top cover. Locate  
the two holes in the base of the crossover.  
Temporarily place the base of the F N - 3 or F N - 6 crossover onto the desired  
mounting surface and mark the location of the holes.  
Drill mounting holes (again making sure there is clearance underneath) in  
the desired locations. Mount the crossover using the appropriate screws or  
nuts and bolts. Snap the cover back onto the crossover.

S p e a k e r Wi r i n g  
Locate the hardware pack supplied with your new component set. Inside  
you will find screws and crimp terminals.  
The midrange and midbass speakers are each equipped with a small and a  
large terminal. The large terminal is the positive (+) connection and the  
small terminal is the negative (-) connection.  
Find the corresponding female crimps in the hardware pack. Properly crimp  
these connectors to the end of your chosen speaker wire.Attach the speaker  
wire to the terminals on the speakers. Mount the speaker into its proper  
location.  
C o n n e c t i n g Wi r e s To T h e C r o s s o v e r  
Attach the ends of the speaker wires to the corresponding screw terminals  
on the supplied passive crossovers. Refer to the following drawings on pages  
10 and 11 to assist in these connections.  
Attach the wires from the tweeter to the crossover observing proper polarity.  
Note that the crossover has three screws for the tweeter connection. The  
extra terminal provides a choice of 2 dB of attenuation. Attenuation of the  
tweeter output (reduced level) may be desirable when the tweeters need to  
be mounted close to the listening position or when mounted close to glass  
or other reflective surfaces. Attach the negative tweeter wire to the screw  
terminal labeled (-).Attach the positive tweeter wire to the 0dB screw terminal  
for full output, OR to the -2dB terminal for slightly reduced output.  
Attach the wires from the midrange speaker to the corresponding screw  
terminals on the crossover (FN-6 3 way crossover) if so equipped, again  
observing proper polarity. A 2 dB attenuation screw is also provided for the  
midrange speaker on the 3 way component sets.  
Attach the wires from the midbass speaker to the screw terminals designated  
"Woofer" on the crossover again observing speaker polarity.  
The two remaining screw terminals on the crossover are the inputs. Attach  
the speaker wires from the outputs of your amplifier here observing proper  
polarity.
