6.Tighten the four screws on the front of the speaker baffle. The RotoLock clamps will automatically rotate into position and begin clamping the speaker (see Figure 11).

You can paint the speakers and grilles before installing them, which will eliminate the “paint scar” that can be left on the wall if the speaker ever needs to be removed for service. You can also paint the speakers after installation, but before the grilles are attached. All Sonance Merlot speakers come from the factory fitted with a plastic ‘paint plug’ that protects the speaker drivers while the mounting flange is being painted.

Sonance always suggests painting the grille separately from the speaker. Before painting, carefully remove the under-grille cloth. It is held in place with a light tacking glue that makes it easy to remove.

Spray the grilles with thinned paint (5 parts thinner to 1 part paint), being careful not to plug the holes. Too heavy a coat of paint on the grille will adversely affect the sound of the speaker.

Once the grilles and flange are painted and dry, replace the under-grille cloth, remove the paint plug from the mounting flange and install the grille.
