Unpacking Your In-Wall Loudspeakers

Please Inspect For Shipping Damage

Each loudspeaker leaves our plant in perfect condition. Any visible or concealed damage most likely will have occurred in handling after it left the plant and should be reported at once to your Definitive deal- er or the delivery company that delivered your loudspeakers. Please unpack your system carefully. Save all cartons and packing materials in case you move or need to ship your system. Record the serial num- bers found on the back of the In-Wall Loudspeakers in the appropriate place on your warranty card.

Ultimate In-Wall Installation

Definitive’s Ultimate In-Wall Loudspeakers are designed to be mounted in walls or ceilings with excellent results. Because of their wide dispersion characteristics and other aspects of their superb sonic performance, mounting position in your room is very flexible. Because of the different requirements of the wide variety of room shapes and sizes, we recommend that you consult with the custom installation specialist at your Definitive Technology dealer regarding your own particular needs.

Painting Your In-Wall Loudspeakers

All Ultimate In-Wall Loudspeakers are easily paintable and are shipped with plastic paint masks (which should be retained even if you initially decide not to paint the speakers). The grill and frame must be painted separately and, for best results, prior to installation in the wall.

For the grill, spray painting is the recommended method. Follow the paint manufacturer’s directions for ventilation and correct spraying procedure. Be very careful not to clog the speaker grill with too heavy a coat of paint as this will impair system sonic performance.

For the frame, spray painting is preferred but brush or roller will also give good results. The supplied frame masks should be put in place to protect the speaker components whichever method you choose.
