PAINTING THE FRAME:

1.Apply paint to exposed (unmasked parts). Use two or more thin coats. Spray painting is recommended [figure 7].

2.When the paint is completely dry, remove the

masking material.

PAINTING THE GRILLE:

1.The grille of the RCi Series speaker features an even, protec- tive powder coating. This powder coating is an ideal primer.

2.Grilles must be spray painted. Do not use a brush and paint. Thick, brushed paint may clog the grille holes.

3.RC55i, RC65i, RC85i models: Before spray painting the grille, care- fully remove the grille’s fabric scrim by peeling it away from the inside of the grille [figure 8]. Place this on a clean, flat surface where it will not get wrinkled.

PEINTURE DU CADRE:

1.Peignez les parties non masquées. Appliquez deux fines couches ou plus. La peinture en aérosol est recommandée [figure 7].

2.Lorsque la peinture est complètement sèche, retirez les masques et les caches-peinture.

PEINTURE DE LA GRILLE:

1.La grille des haut-parleurs RCi Series est enduite d’un revête- ment de poudre protectrice. Ce revêtement

constitue un apprêt idéal.

2.Les grilles doivent être peintes à l’aérosol. N’utilisez

pas un pinceau car la peinture plus épaisse pourrait boucher les trous de la grille.

3.Modèles RC55i, RC65i et RC85i: Avant de peindre la grille à l’aérosol, retirez la toile de l’intérieur de la grille en la détachant délicatement de la grille [figure 8]. Déposez cette toile sur une surface plate et propre où elle ne se froissera pas.

4.After removing the grille by carefully hooking it with a bent paper clip and pulling it gently away from the frame, spray on two thin coats of finish color. If you’re using a compressor and spray gun, use the finest, most diffuse setting. Be careful not to fill the holes in the grille with paint [figure 9].

5.When the paint is completely dry, carefully reinstall the grille by fitting it into its recess so that it is just resting on the frame. Starting with one corner, go around the speaker and push the grille into the grille notch a little bit at a time. Be gentle; the grille may be easily bent out of shape by rough handling. You will feel a positive “snap” when it is fully in place.

6.RC55i, RC65i, RC85i models: When the grille is dry, carefully press the fabric scrim back into place on the inside of the grille. The special fabric scrim hides the speaker’s drivers from view, and will not interfere with the sound.

4.Après avoir retiré la grille du cadre en la soulevant délicatement à l’aide d’un trombone, vaporisez-la de deux minces couches de peinture en aérosol. Si vous utilisez un compresseur ou un pistolet pulvérisateur, choisissez le réglage le plus fin, le plus diffus. Assurez-vous de ne pas boucher les trous de la grille avec

la peinture [figure 9].

5.Lorsque la peinture est complètement sèche, réinstallez la grille en la posant d’abord délicatement sur le cadre. En com- mençant par un coin, poussez petit à petit la grille dans son encoche tout autour du cadre. Soyez délicat, la grille peut être facilement déformée. Vous sentirez la grille « cliquer » en place.

6.Modèles RC55i, RC65i et RC85i : Lorsque la grille est sèche, replacez délicatement la toile en place à l’intérieur de la grille. La toile est composée d’un matériau spécial qui cache les trans- ducteurs mais n’affecte pas le son.

Peinturez la grille. Appliquez des couches minces de peinture aérosol. N'obstruez pas les trous de la grille de peinture.

Streichen Sie den Gitteraufsatz. Verwenden Sie dazu dünne Spritzlackschichten. Die Öffnungen des Gitteraufsatzes dürfen nicht mit Farbe bzw. Lack blockiert werden.
