8.
Attach the supplied grille. Powerful magnets in the speaker frame will
securely hold the grille in place. Be sure that the grille is attached
evenly and that the edges of the grille extend over the speaker baffle
on all sides.
If needed, adjust the tension of the speaker's Cat Claw clamps so that the
speaker frame is flat with the wallboard. This will help ensure that the grille
contacts the wall all the way around the speaker for a proper finished fit.
Adjustments (Select Models)
HF (High-Frequency) Level Control (W126Be – W226Be – W228Be)
The High-Frequency Level control lets you fine-tune the speaker's high-
frequency output to compensate for various acoustical environments.
The control has two settings:
: Normal high-frequency output.
Set the switch to this position for most installations.
: Decrease high-frequency output.
Set the switch to this position if the room has many features that reflect
high-frequency sound energy, such as large, uncovered windows, bare tile /
wood flooring, large expanses of bare walls, or if the speakers are used
without grilles.
Rotatable Mid/High Frequency Module (W228Be)
If the installation requires the W228Be loudspeaker to be mounted
horizontally, we recommend that the midrange / tweeter module be rotated
to properly orient the tweeter above the midrange for proper imaging. The
midrange and tweeter drivers are mounted in a separated sealed cabinet
mounted to the front baffle.
To adjust the midrange / tweeter module position:
1.
Position the loudspeaker on flat level surface.
2.
Remove all screws surrounding the midrange / tweeter module.
3.
Rotate midrange / tweeter module to new position.
4.
Replace screws removed in step #2.
Painting the Grille (All Models)
Revel architectural loudspeaker grilles can be painted to match any décor. If you wish to change the grille's color, its satin original finish will function as a
primer coat. For the best results follow the following procedure:
1.
Gently remove the scrim cloths from the back side of the grille before painting.
2.
Use 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 in the grille become plugged with paint, use compressed air to blow the paint out of the perforations while the
paint is still wet.
Note: If you find any grille perforations that are plugged with paint after drying, carefully use a straight pin or sewing needle to remove the paint.
We have included replacement scrim cloths in case of damage during removal. Additional scrim cloths and replacement grilles are available and sold
separately directly through our Customer Support team. Contact information can be found in the introduction of this document.
After the painted grille has dried, apply a light coat of spray adhesive to the inside of the perforated grille and either re-attach original scrim cloths or replace
with new scrim cloths included.
