Fitting and Removing the Grilles

The grilles are magnetically attached to the cabinet. Specially designed magnets are housed inside the front wall of the loudspeaker, so that if you wish to operate the loudspeaker with the grilles removed, no grille mounting hardware is visible. This preserves the smooth lines of the loudspeaker.

To fit the grilles: Fit the top grille first and line it up with the top and sides of the cabinet. For the P-38F, P-37F and P-17B there is a small lip on the top of the grille that should rest on the top of the cabinet. Now, fit the lower grille, lining up the top of the lower grille with the bottom of the upper grille. You may now remove the top grille if you wish. (The P-17B, P-27C and P-27S have a single one-piece grille only.)
