Painting the Speaker Grill

IMPORTANT! Before painting remove grill from speakers. Also remove the cloth scrim attached inside the grill.

1.Remove the grill from the speaker. A protec- tive cloth scrim is attached to the back of the grill with low-tack adhesive. Remove this scrim by gently pulling it away from the grill.

2.Paint the grill, being careful not to plug the holes. Allow the paint to completely dry before proceeding. IMPORTANT! For best results use a spray rather than a brush or roller.

3.Gently press the scrim back into place before reinstalling the speaker grill.

Installation

NOTE: These instructions assume the mounting sur- face is of standard wood frame and standard sheet rock construction. If you wish to mount the speakers to another type of material you should contact a bonded contractor.

NOTE: See your local dealer for new construction pre-install brackets (sold separately).

WARNING! Before installing check local building codes to verify compli- ance with local regulations WARN- ING! Before installing check for obstructions behind drywall. To do this make a small hole, cutting at a 45° angle (this will make the hole easier to patch if obstructions are found. Only cut out the mounting hole after you have verified there are no obstructions behind the dry wall. WARNING! Use only speaker cable that is rated for in-wall use. The UL standard is CL2, CL3, and CM. The CSA standard is FT4. WARNING!

Turn your amplifier off before making or breaking any signal connections.
