Painting before Installation

The speaker’s white finish matches most décor schemes and does not need further finishing. However where interior design requires an alternative colour this can be easily accomplished. The speaker can either be painted before installation, or where the rim needs to be finished at the same time as the ceiling, the rim can be painted after locating in the ceiling.

The speaker will accept almost any type of emulsion or oil-based paint. Two coats are recommended.

Clean the rim and grille with a light solvent such as white spirit. Do not use gasoline, kerosene, acetone, MEK, paint thinner, harsh detergents or other chemicals, all of which may damage the loudspeaker.

After cleaning, apply two coats of paint, using a roller or brush, or by spraying.

Painting the Speaker with the Ceiling

Using the paint shield provided, paint the speaker and remove the shield. To paint the grille, first remove the logo and grille cloth backing. It is advisable to spray the grille to avoid the mesh becoming clogged with paint from a roller or brush, which may impair the sound quality. Replace the grille cloth.
