Painting the Baffle and Grille

NOTE: The cutout template that was used in step 2 of the previous section will be used

as a paint shield when painting the outer circumference of the baffle.

Painting the Baffle

1.Remove the grille using the provided grille hooks and set the grille aside.

2.Place cutout template over the center of the tweeter so that the woofer and tweeter of the speaker are protected from the paint.

3.Tape over the center hole of the template to prevent any paint from entering the hole.

4.Tape over any exposed portion of the baffle that is normally covered by the grille. This includes the perimeter outside of the template where the grille magnets are located.

ATTENTION: Do not allow paint to touch the magnets, otherwise the grille installation will not be as secure. Do not allow paint to enter the baffle groove where the grille will reside, otherwise the grille may not contact the magnets properly for a secure fit.

5.Clean the outer perimeter of the baffle to be painted with a damp cloth.

6.Paint the outer baffle.

Painting the Grille

1.With the grille detached from the speaker, carefully remove the scrim from the inner side of the grille.

2.Carefully remove the Extron logo from the front of the grille.

3.Clean the outside of the grille surface with a damp cloth.

4.Carefully spray paint the outside surface of the grille.

ATTENTION: Be sure to keep the paint from clogging the grille perforations, otherwise the speaker output will be affected.

5.After the paint has completely dried, reattach the logo and scrim.
