HOW - PAINTING THE SPEAKER FRAMES AND GRILLES

Russound in-wall speaker frames and grilles are pre-fin- ished with an off-white paint. You can choose to leave them as is or paint them with latex wall paint or aerosol spray paint to accent or blend with the wall or ceiling.

TO PAINT SPEAKERS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN ASSEMBLED:

1Separate and remove the speaker baffle from the frame and set it aside.

2Remove the scrim cloth by gently separating it from the inside surface of the perforated grille, being careful to keep it clean. Store it before you begin painting.

3Paint the outer speaker frame and grille separately. For the grille, Russound recommends a spray applica- tion using latex paint diluted 4 to 5:1 with water. If you’re using an aerosol spray paint, make sure that you achieve the same coverage on both grille and frame.

4While the paint is still wet on the grille, and the grille is not in the frame, use a gentle burst of com- pressed air against the outside surface to clear the fine holes in the metal mesh.

5After the paint has thoroughly dried, re-install the speaker baffle inside the frame.

6Reattach the scrim cloth to the grille, starting from the edge and smoothing wrinkles as you go.
