Installation Procedure Overview

Painting Your UIW RCS II Loudspeakers

The UIW RCS II Loudspeakers are easily paintable and are shipped with plastic paint masks (which should be retained even if you initially decide not to paint the speakers). The grille and frame must be painted separately, and for best results, prior to installation.

For the grille, spray painting is the recommended method. Follow the paint manufacturer’s directions for ventilation and correct spraying procedure. Be very careful not to clog the speaker grille with too heavy a coat of paint as this will impair system sonic performance.

For the frame, spray painting is preferred but brush or roller will also give good results. The supplied frame masks should be put in place to protect the speaker components for whichever method you choose.

The RCS II is designed to be installed inside the ceiling of your home quick- ly and easily. Because of its superb sonic performance, installation location within your room is very ﬂexible. Your room is not like anyone else’s room, and because of its unique size and shape will have its own requirements for optimal sonic performance. We recommend that you consult with the Custom Installation Specialist at your Deﬁnitive Technology dealer regarding your special needs or if you are at all uncertain about the best and safest way to install your RCS II.

•Installation of this product must follow all local and state building code requirements. We strongly recommend using a qualiﬁed, professional installer who is knowledgeable of local building codes.

•The UIW RCS II is designed for mounting inline or at 90 degrees to 16" on-center ceiling joists.

•If ceiling joists are wider than 16" apart, you will need to shim (or frame in the enclosure) with appropriate framing material.

•Before starting construction or modiﬁcation of your ceiling, you should familiarize yourself with any applicable local ﬁre and building codes.

•Make sure the locations you select do not conceal studs, electrical wiring or plumbing. Prior to installation, hold the speaker in your chosen location to make sure it meets the clearance requirements around obstacles such as studs, corners, beams, lighting ﬁxtures and door/window frames.
