SONANCE VISUAL PERFORMANCE® 6” IN-CEILING

Painting The Grilles

NOTE: VISUAL PERFORMANCE SPEAKER GRILLES COMPLETELY COVER THE SPEAKER FRAME, SO ONLY THE GRILLES (NOT THE SPEAKERS THEMSELVES) REQUIRE PAINTING. THE SPEAKERS ARE FITTED WITH PAINT PLUGS TO PROTECT THEM IF THE CEILING IS PAINTED AFTER THE SPEAKERS ARE INSTALLED.

To paint the grilles, first remove the scrim cloth that is attached to the backs of the grilles. (The adhesive that holds the cloth in place is reusable.) Paint the grilles with very thin paint (5 parts thinner to 1 part paint), being careful not to plug the holes. When the paint has fully dried, re-attach the scrim cloths to the backs of the grilles and re-install the grilles on the speakers.

Speaker Adjustments

Pivoting Woofer and Tweeter

All Visual Performance Series 6” in-ceiling speakers have a pivoting tweeter and all except the VP65RTL have a pivoting woofer assembly. These pivoting drivers allow you to direct sound towards or away from the listening area, depending on how the speakers are being used:

•If you’re using the speakers in stereo or as the front left/center/ right speakers in a home theater, pivot the woofer and/or tweeter directly towards the listening area. This will help the sound from the speakers blend into a solid soundstage even if the speakers are widely separated.

•If you’re using the speakers as surround channel speakers in a home theater, you can create a more diffuse, spacious surround effect by pivoting the woofer and/or tweeter towards a wall or window, away from the listeners.
