Painting Your In-Wall Speakers
Here's what you will need:
• Paint of your choice – for an easier way to
complete the job, we strongly advise spray

painting the grille

• A paper clip, corkscrew or other tool with a
pointed tip, to be used for removing the paint-
able grille.
• Masking tape
• Paint Mask; to cover the un-paint-able areas
– this is supplied.

Preparing to Paint

10
1. Separate the parts of the speaker. If the
speaker is not yet installed, the grille can be
removed simply by pushing the clamp screws
forward, to push the grille off the speaker
from the inside. If the speaker is already in
the wall, carefully hook the grille with a bent
paper clip and pull it gently away from the
frame.
2. When painting the frame of the speaker, use
the supplied painting masks to carefully mask
off the front of the speakers to protect the
drivers and baffl es while painting. You can do
this while the speaker is already installed in
the wall – e.g. if you are repainting the room.
If you do not have the paint mask, carefully
mask the speaker components using paper
and masking tape.

Painting the Frame

1. Apply paint to the exposed (unmasked) parts,
using two or more thin coats. Spray painting
is recommended for the best fi nish.
2. When the paint is completely dry, remove the
masking material.

Painting the Grille
1. The grille of the MW Series speaker features
an even, protective powder coating, making it
an ideal paint primer.
2. Grilles must be spray painted. Do not use a
brush and paint. Thick, brushed paint is highly
likely to clog the grille holes.
3. Before spray painting the grille, carefully
remove the grille's fabric scrim by peeling it
away from the inside of the grille. Place this
on a clean, fl at surface where it will not get
wrinkled.
4. After removing the grille by carefully hooking
it with a bent paper clip (or cork screw) and
pulling it gently away from the frame, spray on
two thin coats of fi nish colour. If you are using
a compressor and spray gun, use the fi nest,
most diffuse setting. Be careful not to fi ll the
holes in the grille with paint.
5. When the grille is dry, carefully press the
fabric scrim back into place, on the inside
of the grille. The special fabric scrim hides
the speaker's drivers from view, and will not
interfere with the sound.
6. Carefully reinstall the grille by fi tting it into
its recess, so that it is just resting on the
frame. Starting with one corner, go around
the speaker and push the grille into the grille
notch, a little bit at a time. Please be gentle,
as the grille may easily be bent out of shape
by rough handling. You will hear a positive
"snap" when it is fully in place.
