2.2Installing the Grilles

The grille assemblies are behind a panel on the outside of the speaker crate. Remove the screws securing the panel, and then carefully pull the grilles straight out. The grilles are installed with friction fasteners and press into place on the speaker cabinets. Please see Figure 2.2.

Orientation of the Felt Anti-Diffraction Mask

The grille assembly includes a felt anti-diffraction mask. Should the felt mask be removed, be sure to note the correct inside-outside orientation when re-installing it. The tweeter opening is beveled on the side that faces the listener (away from the speaker).
