FITTED WITH PAINT PLUGS TO PROTECT THEM IF THE CEILING IS
PAINTED AFTER THE SPEAKERS ARE INSTALLED
To paint the grilles, first remove the scrim cloth that is attached
to the backs of the grilles. (The adhesive that holds the cloth in
place is reusable.) Paint the grilles with very thin paint (5 parts
thinner to 1 part paint), being careful not to plug the holes.
When the paint has fully dried, re-attach the scrim cloths to the
backs of the grilles and re-install the grilles on the speakers.
Speaker Adjustments
Pivoting Woofer and Tweeter
All Visual Performance Series 6" in-ceiling speakers have a
pivoting tweeter and all except the VP65RTL have a pivoting
woofer assembly. These pivoting drivers allow you to direct sound
towards or away from the listening area, depending on how the
speakers are being used:
• If you're using the speakers in stereo or as the front left/center/
right speakers in a home theater, pivot the woofer and/or
tweeter directly towards the listening area. This will help the
sound from the speakers blend into a solid soundstage even if
the speakers are widely separated.
• If you're using the speakers as surround channel speakers in a
home theater, you can create a more diffuse, spacious
surround effect by pivoting the woofer and/or tweeter towards
a wall or window, away from the listeners.
To Pivot the Tweeter:
Apply light pressure to the plastic ring around the outside edge
of the tweeter dome, as shown in Figure 7 (left). Take care not to
touch or apply pressure to the tweeter dome itself.
