Painting Your Speakers

If desired, you can paint the exterior of the speaker enclosure and grille to better match the speaker’s surroundings.

You will need:

A fast-drying spray paint specifically formulated for plastic (such as Krylon ® Fusion)

A paper clip or curved-tip awl

Masking tape and heavy paper or cardboard for masking

A clean, dry cloth

Care of Your Speakers

Clean your cabinets using a soft,lint-free cloth.If you wish,you can slightly moisten the cloth with plain water. Do not use any other cleaning agents or chemicals.

IMPORTANT: SAVE YOUR BOXES! If you can do so, save the car- tons, packing pieces, and plastic bags that came with your speakers. They will be useful in case you move or have to ship your loudspeak- ers for any reason. In any case, save all packing materials until you are certain that the systems have suffered no damage in shipment. If you find such damage, either visible or internal, contact your dealer imme- diately.

To prepare for painting:

Remove the bracket.

Use the paper clip or awl to remove the grille. Gently pull the grille at each corner until it can be removed by hand.

Cut the paper or cardboard to the size of the baffle (the surface that contains the speaker elements) and the terminal area on the rear panel. Mask these areas off.

Wrap masking tape around the threaded posts of the knobs.

Use a small piece of masking tape to cover the threaded insert.

Use the clean, dry cloth to wipe any dust or dirt off the cabinet.

Painting the cabinet and knobs:

Apply two thin coats of plastic-compatible paint, following the paint manufacturer’s directions. Be careful not to fill the threaded inserts with excessive paint.

Paint only the upper surface of the knobs. Do not contaminate the treaded posts with paint.

Let dry thoroughly, then carefully remove the masks and tape from the cabinet.

Painting the grilles and bracket:

Apply one coat of paint, being careful not to “fill in” the holes in the metal grille with paint, as this will seriously degrade the sound.

If necessary, you may apply a second coat to the bracket.
