SONANCE VISUAL PERFORMANCE
Painting The Grilles
Visual Performance speaker grilles completely cover the speaker
frame, so only the grilles (not the speakers themselves) require
painting. The speakers are 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 Midrange/Tweeter
All Visual Performance Series 8" in-ceiling speakers have a
pivoting woofer and a pivoting midrange/tweeter assembly. If
you're using the speakers in stereo or as the front left/center/
right speakers in a home theater, pivot the drivers directly
towards the listening area. If you're using the speakers as
surround channel speakers in a home theater, pivot the drivers
towards a wall or window, away from the listeners.
To pivot the midrange/tweeter assembly, apply light pressure to
the ring around the outside edge of the midrange cone, as shown
in Figure 7 , left. Take care not to touch or apply pressure to the
midrange cone itself. To Pivot the woofer, apply pressure on the
outer edge of one of the tweeter support brackets, as shown in
Figure 7, right. Do not touch or apply pressure to the woofer cone.

AND THE
Tweeter and Midrange Level Switches
The VP89R and VP87R have midrange and tweeter level switches
(see Figure 8 )
that boost or
cut those driv-
ers' levels by
3dB. This lets
you tailor the
speaker's per-
formance to
better match

acoustics or
