PAINTING YOUR ATRIUM

LOUDSPEAKERS

You will need:

•A spray can of primer paint (Krylon Sandable Spray Primer #1318)

•A spray can of the paint of your choice

•Masking tape

•Paint masks (craft paper cut to size to cover driver baffle and amplifier)

PREPARING TO PAINT:

1.Separate the parts of the speaker. Remove the brackets and bracket knobs. Remove the grille by carefully pushing forward on the sides [figure 18].

2.Mask off the binding posts and amplifier heat sink on the back of the speaker [figure 19], and carefully mask the front of the speakers to protect the drivers and baffles while painting [figure 20].

PAINTING THE CABINET, BRACKET KNOBS AND BRACKET:

1.Apply two thin coats of primer to the cabi- net and knobs. The bracket does not require a primer.

2.When the primer is completely dry, apply the finish color [figure 21].

3.When the paint is completely dry, remove the masking material.

4.Do not reattach the speaker to the bracket until the bracket is mounted. Try to keep all handling of freshly painted parts to

a minimum.

PAINTING THE GRILLE:

1.The grille of the Atrium speaker features an even, protective powder coating. This powder coating is an ideal primer.

2.Spray on two thin coats of finish color with no primer [figure 22]. 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. Thick paint may clog the grille holes.

3.When the paint is completely dry, carefully fit the grille into its recess so that it is just resting on the cabinet. 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.
