Painting Zx5 Speaker Systems

Painting a Zx5 Enclosure

The Zx5 Loudspeaker Enclosures are made of a high performance Polypropylene material. For best paint adhesion, we recommend a “Plastic Adhesion Promoter” be applied before any paint. Sherwin Williams Plastic Adhesion Promoter UP07226 is a good example (See Telex document number LIT000066-000 for further details.) Once Plastic Adhesion Promoter is applied follow the manufacturer’s painting directions as you would normally.

Painting a Zx5 Grille

Remove grille from loudspeaker and remove the backing material & logo from grille prior to painting. Once the paint is dry, reapply the backing material and logo to the grille. Spray adhesive such as 3M Super 77 may help adhere the backing material to the grille.

Additional Precautions to be Taken

Prior to painting, be sure to take precautions not to get paint into the transducers. This can be done by masking the grille, temporarily removing the grille and masking the transducers, or by temporarily removing the grille and temporarily removing the transducers. Precautions must also be taken not to get paint into any exposed electrical components by masking them off prior to painting. It is also recommended that any exposed rigging points, warning labels, or instruction labels be masked off for ease of future operation.

The speakers are designed with multi-angle cabinet configurations, allowing users to position them in various ways to achieve the best sound projection for their specific environment. This adaptability makes them suitable for both front-of-house and monitor applications.

Durability is another key characteristic of the ZX5 Series. The cabinets are constructed from high-quality plywood, featuring a rugged finish that withstands the rigors of transport and frequent use. Additionally, the speakers come with a steel grille that protects the drivers from damage while ensuring optimal sound dispersion.

Portability is a crucial aspect for event organizers and musicians, and the ZX5 addresses this need effectively. The lightweight design and integrated handles make it easy to transport and set up the speakers quickly, saving valuable time during event preparations.
