Painting AW Series Loudspeakers

You may paint white versions of the AW5500 and AW6500 speakers to match your color scheme or to blend in with their surroundings.

You will need:

•A spray can of primer paint (Krylon Spray Primer #1318, or equivalent).

•A spray can of the paint of your choice. Choose exterior grade paint if you plan to use the speakers outdoors.

•A paperclip, awl or corkscrew (for removing the grille) [figure A].

•Masking tape.

•Paint mask (not included) to cover parts that should not be painted. To make an easy paint mask use the grille as a template and cut a mask from heavy, nonporous craft paper.

Preparing to Paint

1.Separate the parts of the speaker. Remove the bracket knobs and brackets by rotating the bracket knobs counter-clockwise until they come off. Remove the grilles by carefully hooking them with an awl or bent paper clip and pulling gently away from the cabinet [figure A].

2.Mask the binding posts on the back

of the speaker [figure B], the metal threaded
