1.2. Estelon X Diamond Mk II The Estelon X Diamond Mk II is the result of a culmination of knowledge and performance, trickled-down from our flagship loudspeakers and 10 years of history and experience.

Page 7: Cabinet Design
This is why the Estelon speakers reproduce a very natural and balanced sound. -
Page 8: Transducers
During the final hand-assembly process each speaker is individually tuned to maintain uniformity from unit to unit. Unusual in its defined form, the result of this cabinet construction allows it to be easily paired even in an acoustically untreated room, allowing the bass to roll effortlessly into the listening space. -
Page 9: Crossovers
1.2.3. Crossovers The Estelon X Diamond Mk II has a finely tuned crossover. It is second-order, allowing it to be incredibly fast and with perfect phase transition. The crossover point of the tweeter and mid-woofer is at 1.9kHz and between the mid-woofer and woofer at 85Hz. -
Page 10: Finish
Countless hours of R&D and real-world listening test have been conducted of each crossover design and its related parts, right down to the physical placement of each part and its positioning within the cabinet. The crossover components have been chosen from among the absolute best available, and the synergy of the end result has been a significant deciding factor. - Page 11 Finally, the multiple coats of the lacquer finish are applied along with the final polishing to a mirror-like finish. The Estelon X Diamond Mk II is offered in a choice of liquid gloss, matte, or the optional premium finishes.

4. SET-UP 4.1. Initial positioning in the room Model X Diamond Mk II – Suggested room size 25-80 m² (270-860 square feet) When positioning the speakers in your room, it is advised to allow enough ”free” space around the speakers to minimize sound reflections from walls, furniture, etc. -
Page 18: Installing The Bases
4.2. Installing the bases The bases consist of four parts as shown in drawing 6. Before replacing the transport wheels of the speakers with the bases, please screw the spikes with the locking rings into the bottom of each isolation foot (drawing 7). Once you have assembled the bases and the final position of the speakers has been located, it is time to replace the transport wheels. - Page 19 Please replace the wheels on one side of each loudspeaker at a time . One person should carefully tilt the speaker against himself/herself and hold it in this position (drawing 9), while the other person removes the two accessible wheels as shown in drawing 10. Please make sure the edge of the speaker's bottom does not touch the floor during this process.
- Page 20 After the 2 wheels are removed, please locate the isolation feet holes on the base of the speaker, that are next to the holes of the wheels (drawing 11). Then screw the isolation feet into the specific holes as shown in drawing 12.
- Page 21 In case of hard flooring, please place the floor plates onto the floor before lowering the speaker on the side that the wheels were replaced. The floor plates are for use only on hard flooring in order to protect the floor from any damage from the spikes. For carpeted floors, use the spikes in order to pierce through the carpet to the hard flooring underneath.

Page 24: Taking Care Of Your Estelon Speakers
