or distortion, immediately move the
speakers away from your TV.
PAINTING YOUR Me SERIES
IN-WALL LOUDSPEAKERS
You will need:
• Paint of your choice. (To make the job
easier, we recommend spray painting
the grille.)
• A paperclip or corkscrew. (For removing
the paintable grille, corkscrew can also
be used to open the wine when you relax
with your newly painted MC speakers.l
• Masking tape.
• Paint mask. (To cover unpaintable
parts, supplied!l
PREPARING TO PAINT:
1. If the speaker is not yet installed, the
grille can be removed simply by pushing
the clamp screws forward to push the
grille off the speaker from the inside.
If the speaker is already in the wall,
carefully hook the grille with a bent
paper clip and pull it gently away from
the frame (figure 6).
2. When painting the frame of the speaker,
use the supplied paint masks to carefully
mask off the front of the speakers to
protect the drivers and baffles while
painting. You can do this while the
speaker is already installed in the wall
(if, for instance, you're repainting the
room). If you do not have the paint masks,
carefully mask the speaker components
using paper and masking tape.
