DIATONE DS-3000 (1984) | Digital Reference

 

The DS-3000 was a 4-way acoustic air suspension bookshelf speaker introduced to the market by Diatone in 1984.  Inheriting the technology of the DS-1000 and based on the 4-way DS-505 system, this high-performance system pursued greater rigidity and delivered high-resolution sound. The DMM (Direct Magnet Circuit Mount) structure developed for the DS-1000 was adopted for the mid-bass and woofer, achieving high-resolution mid- and low-frequency sounds. The woofer was a 32cm aramid honeycomb cone unit, and the mid-bass unit was a 16cm aramid honeycomb cone unit. The mid-high and tweeter units also used the DM system developed for the DS-1000. The mid-high unit was equipped with a 5cm DUD (DIATONE Unified Diaphragm) boron dome unit, and the tweeter was a 2.3cm DUD boron dome unit. Like the DS-1000, it featured a round baffle.
