Painting DI LCR Speakers

Your DI Series speakers may be painted to match the color of the wall or ceiling in which they are installed. Failure to follow the following

painting instructions may result in seriously degraded sound quality.

It is your responsibility to make sure your painting contractor sees and follows these instructions.

1.DO NOT PAINT THE GRILLE WITH A BRUSH OR ROLLER — they will clog the fine mesh of the grille and cloth scrim and result in poor sound quality.

2.Remove the grille from the speaker and place it on a drop cloth, newspaper or plastic sheet.

3.The grille MUST be spray painted with one of the following:

•Spray paint that closely matches the desired finish/color

•A custom spray bomb color matched to your paint finish

•Indoor latex paint using a spray gun (paint must be diluted to the paint manufacturer’s specifications)

4.Do not remove the backing cloth (scrim).

5.Paint should be applied in a series of thin coats sprayed at approximately 60 degrees from the grille surface, allowing each coat to fully cure before applying additional coats.

6.To ensure that the paint distribution is evenly applied, each coat should be applied from at least 4 different directions to the grille. (N, S, E & W) This will ensure an even coverage on the grille.

7.Once the grille has been painted and the paint has fully cured, you may use a brush or small roller to touch-up the outer edge of the grille frame — being VERY careful not to get any additional paint on the grille mesh surface.

Placement Options

Definitive Technology DI Series Loudspeakers give you nearly endless placement options. But remember that placement choice for your in-wall speakers bears careful consideration, as installation requires that you cut a hole in your wall or ceiling. It is best to keep the speakers at least 2 feet (60 cm) from side walls [Figure 1]. When using DI Series models in home theater applications follow the guidelines illustrated in Figures 2 and 3. Orient the left and right speakers so that the tweeters are on the outside edge as shown in Figure 2. Definitive DI Series In-Wall Loudspeakers have aimable tweeters that allow you to focus their sound toward or away from your listening area depending on the application (see page 6).
