Installation of Brackets, Frames and Grilles in New Construction

Installation of

Brackets, Frames

and Grilles in New

Construction

Stage One: Before Drywall is Hung. Insulating the Wall Cavity.

If feasible, fill the wall cavity with insula- tion at this point.

Attach the wings to the bracket by snap- ping them into the sides of the bracket. The wings can be shortened by breaking them along the scored lines if their length will interfere with a corner or eaves. You can mount the bracket horizontally or ver- tically (See Figure 8).

Figure 8

Screw one side of the assembled bracket with wings to the stud using one of the supplied screws. Level the bracket. Screw the other side of the bracket to the stud. Two or three screws (depending upon the size of the model) on each side makes for a very secure installation. Attach the wire to the bracket at the indicated wire tie points (See Figure 9).

Stage Two: Before Paint

Screw the frame to the installed bracket using the supplied screws. Do not over- tighten the screws. This will distort the frame and the grilles will not fit (this is not permanent, just loosen the screws and the grille will pop in) (See Figure 10).

Painting the Aluminum Grilles

The grille is important to the sound of the PR loudspeakers. Do not fill the holes of

the grille with paint. The grille is construct- ed of aluminum with a perfectly even powder coat overall. This powder coat is an ideal primer.

Remove the grilles before painting. If you are using spray paint, use two thin coats without any primer. If you are using a compressor and a spray gun, use the finest, most dif- fuse setting. Practice first on some paper if you have no experience painting with spray paint.

If you are using an applicator or brush, and a can of paint, thin the paint first. You do not want to have to poke hundreds of holes in your beautifully painted grilles.
