Color Match Painting
The grille of your MartinLogan In-Wall Subwoofer is finished in
neutral white to blend into any room . However, the grilles may be
painted to match any decor .
Please note:
• Do not paint the surface behind the grille
• Do not use a paint roller or brush
To Paint, Follow These Steps:
1 . Remove the grille .
2 . Remove the scrim . Set the scrim aside to install after the grille
has dried .
3 . In a well-ventilated area, spray a light coat of paint to the grille,
letting the paint dry completely between coats . Always follow
the paint manufacturer's directions .
TIP! Be careful to not plug the grille holes with paint . Do not paint
the grilles when they are installed on the speaker .
In-Wall Cavity Preparation
When considering subwoofer placement directly into a wall, keep
the following in mind .
Stiffening and Strengthening the Cavity
Although MartinLogan in-wall mounting systems are the most rigid
on the market, when installing your subwoofer directly into a
wall, to help avoid bass vibrations and minimize acoustic bleed-
through, we recommend the following:
Additional Bracing
Additional cross-bracing will further stiffen the cavity . We suggest
placing two to three pieces of 2" x 4" (more if application allows)
within the cavity, evenly spaced above and below the cutout .
Additional bracing can also be sandwiched to the studs/joists on
either side of the subwoofer .
New Construction
New construction offers an excellent opportunity to strengthen and
stiffen the cavity with additional bracing or construction-grade stiff-
ening adhesives applied directly to the drywall . (See Dealer
for more information) .
1 . Place the mounting template onto the wall . Use a level to make
sure it's straight (Fig 2a) .
2 . Trace along the mounting template cut-out (Fig . 2b) .
3 . Cut a hole as indicated (Fig . 2c) .
