Painting Ahe Speakers; Care And Maintenance - REVELL L41XC Owner's Manual

5. The L12XC speaker ships with the transformer set to 250W. If you want to use a lower power setting, use
a Philips head screwdriver to remove the protective Philips screw as shown in Figure 32.
Out – Gray
6. Use a flathead screwdriver to change the transformer tap to the desired power level as shown in Figure 33.
7. Replace the protective Philips screw to minimize chances of tampering with the setting.
You may connect in parallel as many speakers to a single amplifier channel as you want but the total
wattage of all the speakers should not exceed the power rating of the amplifier. For example, if you are
running two L12XC subwoofers on a single 300W amplifier channel set each subwoofer no higher than
125W. Best practice is to limit the total speaker load to 90% of the amplifier's power rating.

PAINTING THE SPEAKERS
Painting the speakers is not recommended because paint could block or enter the product through the grille
or port canopy, and come in contact with the speaker drivers or other sensitive internal parts. Paint-clogged
grilles will seriously degrade the sound quality of the speakers. Harman does not support painting the
product, and we are not responsible for damage caused by painting your speakers.
Clean the enclosures with a light solvent such as mineral spirits by rubbing the components with a lightly
dampened cloth. Do not, however, use abrasives such as sandpaper or steel wool on the enclosures; nor
should you use gasoline, kerosene, acetone, MEK, paint thinner, harsh detergents or, other chemicals. Use
of these cleaners may result in permanent damage to the enclosures.
If you choose to paint your speakers at your own risk, please be careful to ensure that you only paint only the
chassis, and do not paint near the grille or port canopy. After cleaning, apply two or more thin coats of either
latex or oil-based paints to the chassis by rolling, brushing, or spraying. Latex paints will adhere better if an
oil-based primer is used first.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Revel XC Series landscape speakers have been designed and manufactured for durability and reliable
service. As with any fine product, proper maintenance and care will extend the life of the system.
You can expect your system components to perform indefinitely if you use them within their stated limits for
power handling, and see that they are not abused.
Always protect the loudspeakers from over-excursion caused by strong subsonic signals (signals below
30Hz). If your amplifier has a "low cut" or "high pass" switch, engage it.
Revel XC landscape loudspeakers are durable enough to withstand direct exposure to the elements and
therefore may become dirty after some time outdoors. They can be rinsed clean with a low-pressure
water stream from a garden hose or spray bottle and then dried with a soft cloth. Be sure not the spray
under the port canopy of the L12XC Subwoofer. Do not use a pressure washer or any high-pressure water
streams directly on the front of the loudspeaker, as the drivers could become damaged, rendering the
product inoperable.
