Mesh speaker grill

Countersunk head tapping screw 4 x 12

Baffle (Masking area)

Note

Because the logo is affixed using double-faced tape, peel it off carefully.

Step 2. Wipe clean the mesh grill and speaker cabinet with a soft cloth dampened in a detergent.

Note

Do not use thinner or other volatile liquids to clean the grill and cabinet.

Step 3. Use spray paint to apply thin coat evenly overall the speaker.

Notes

•Avoid painting with a roller or brush, as the grill holes could become clogged with paint.

•Securely mask the entire baffle surface before painting.

•Use appropriate paints for the speaker grill and cabinet materials.

Grill:	Rolled steel plate (acrylic paint)
Cabinet:	Fire-resistant HIPS resin

Step 4. After the paint has dried, apply another light coat.

Note

Repeating Step 3, apply 2 or more light coats of paint.

Application of one thick coat of paint all at once may cause drips or unevenness to show up in the painted finish, or clog the mesh holes.

Step 5. After the paint has dried, replace the mesh grill and logo.
