Speaker Break-in
Your new Invisa
®
loudspeaker system should sound good as soon as you turn them on; however, an extended
break-in period of 40-60 hours or more of normal playing time is required to reach full performance
capability. Break-in allows the driver suspensions to work-in and crossover components to "heal," resulting in
fuller and tighter bass, a more open "blossoming" midrange and smoother high frequency reproduction.
Color-Match Painting (optional)
Your new Invisa in-wall/in-ceiling speakers include a paintable "edgeless" grille that completely covers the
installed speaker. The grille comes in a neutral white to blend with most areas, however, for the ultimate in "stealth"
installation, they may be painted to match any decor. PLEASE NOTE: Failure to follow the instructions below may
result in a serious degradation of sound quality!
Please Note:
•
Do not paint the grille with a brush or roller — this will clog the grille's acoustic perforations and muffle
the sound.
•
It is not necessary to remove the backing cloth, or scrim, from the grille before painting.
•
Do not heat cure the finish.
•
Do not paint the grilles while attached to the speaker.
To paint, follow these steps:
1.
Remove the grille from the speaker and place it on a drop cloth
2.
Spray paint the grille using:
i.
A spray paint that closely matches the color and shine desired
ii.
A custom-made spray can, color matched to your paint finish
iii. The indoor latex paint used to paint the ceiling or wall, but diluted to the paint manufacturer's/
spray gun manufacturer's recommendations
3.
In a well ventilated area, apply several light coats of paint, sprayed at about a 60 degree angle
from the grille's surface, letting the grille dry completely between coats. Follow the paint
manufacturer's directions.
4.
To insure the paint is evenly applied, each coat should be applied from multiple directions (at least four).
5.
Once the painted grille has dried completely, if necessary you can use a brush or small roller to
touch-up the grille's outer edge — just be careful not to get any additional paint on the grille's
perforated surface.
