7. Insert the speaker straight into the mounting opening. Tighten the
speaker clamp screws on the front of the speaker baffle. The speaker
clamps will automatically rotate into position and begin clamping the
speaker.
• When you notice resistance on the screws the speaker has been
clamped successfully.

Painting the Grille
JBL architectural loudspeaker grilles can be painted to match any décor.
If you wish to change the grille's color, its satin finish will function as a
primer coat. For the best results follow this procedure:
1. Gently remove the scrim cloth from the back side of the grille before
painting.
2. Use a high-quality spray paint and apply a thin coat of color. Ensure that
the grille perforations remain free of paint. Filling them with paint will
diminish the speaker's sound quality. If any perforations are plugged,
use compressed air to blow the paint out of the perforations.
Note: If you find any grille perforations that are plugged with paint after
the paint has dried, carefully use a straight pin or sewing needle to
remove the paint.
3. We have included replacement scrim cloths. After the paint has dried,
apply a light coat of spray adhesive to the inside of the perforated grille
and attach a new scrim cloth. IMPORTANT: Never spray adhesive on the
cloth.
EXCESSIVE OUTPUT LEVELS
Your JBL loudspeakers feature custom-designed transducers and high-
quality network components featuring high-order filters with steep cutoffs
that reduce the potential of damage to individual speaker drivers and
help the loudspeakers maintain their performance even under extreme
operating conditions. However, all loudspeakers have limits when it comes
to continuous playback. To extend these limits, avoid playback at volume
levels that result in distorted or strained sound.
