PAINTING THE FRAME:

1.Apply paint to exposed (unmasked parts). Use two or more thin coats. Spray painting is recommended [figure 8].

2.When the paint is completely dry, remove the masking material.

PAINTING THE GRILLE:

1.The grille of the LCi Series speaker features an even, protective paint. This paint is an ideal primer.

2.Grilles must be spray painted. Do not use a brush and paint. Thick, brushed paint may clog the grille holes.

3.After removing the grille by carefully hooking it with a bent paper clip and pulling it gently away from the frame, spray on two thin coats of finish color. If you’re using a compressor and spray gun, use the finest, most diffuse setting. Be careful not to fill the holes in the grille with paint [figure 9].

4.When the paint is completely dry, carefully reinstall the grille by fitting it into its recess so that it is just resting on the frame. Starting with one corner, go around the speaker and push the grille into the grille notch a little bit at a time. Be gentle; the grille may be easily bent out of shape by rough handling. You will feel a positive “snap” when it

is fully in place.

Paint the grille. Use thin coats of spray paint.

Do not block grille holes with paint.

Pinte la rejilla. Aplique manos delgadas de pintura aerosol. No blo- quee con pintura los agujeros de la rejilla.

Peinturez la grille. Appliquez des couches minces de peinture aérosol. N'obstruez pas les trous de la grille de peinture.

Streichen Sie den Gitteraufsatz. Verwenden Sie dazu dünne Spritzlackschichten. Die Öffnungen des Gitteraufsatzes dürfen nicht mit Farbe bzw. Lack blockiert werden.

PEINTURE DU CADRE:

1.Appliquez deux minces couches de peinture (ou plus) aux pièces non masquées. Il est recommandé de vaporiser le cadre de peinture. [figure 8].

2.Lorsque la peinture est complètement sèche, retirez les cache-peinture.

PEINTURE DE LA GRILLE:

1.La grille des haut-parleurs de la Série LCi est enduite d’une peinture protectrice. Cette peinture constitue un apprêt idéal.

2.Les grilles doivent être vaporisées de peinture. N’utilisez pas de pinceau. La peinture plus épaisse appliquée au pinceau pourrait boucher les trous.

3.Après avoir dégagé la grille à l’aide d’un trombone plié et de l’avoir retirée du cadre, vaporisez deux minces couches de peinture de finition. Si vous utilisez un compresseur ou un pistolet pulvérisateur, choisissez le réglage le plus fin, le plus diffus. Assurez-vous de ne pas boucher les trous de la grille avec la peinture [figure 9].

4.Lorsque la peinture est complètement sèche, remettez la toile à l’intérieur de la grille puis réinstallez la grille en la posant d'abord délicatement sur le cadre. En commençant par un coin, poussez petit à petit la grille dans son encoche tout autour du cadre. Soyez délicat, la grille peut être facile- ment déformée. Vous sentirez la grille «cliquer» en place.
