Break-In Period; Painting The Speakers - RBH Sound IN-CEILING SPEAKERS Installation And Instruction Manual

Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of RBH Sound in-ceiling speakers! Your speakers are
the result of many years of research and development dedicated to producing high
quality products for home audio and audio/video systems.
This manual is designed to give you, the installer or owner, basic information as to the
speaker's installation and operation. We recommend you thoroughly read through the
material contained in this manual before installing your speakers. This will ensure that
you have an understanding of how to setup your speakers for optimum performance
and allow for years of listening enjoyment.
Break In Period
Allow several hours of listening time to adequately break in the speakers. As the
speakers break-in, the driver suspension will loosen. The result of break-in will be an
increase in low frequency response, improved definition, clarity and detail.
Features
All RBH Sound in-ceiling speakers feature a swing out dog leg mounting system
with pre-started screws for fast and easy installation. Most RBH Sound in-ceiling
speakers feature directional swivel tweeters to direct the sound to the main
listening area. All RBH Sound in-ceiling speakers feature polyswitch protection
circuitry designed to protect the tweeter from being over driven. This circuit will
automatically reset itself once the volume is turned down or the problem causing
the circuit to activate is removed.
Steep acoustic slope crossovers are used to integrate the drivers. The use of steep
crossover slopes allows high power handling, minimized driver interaction anomalies,
and maximizes the clarity with which each driver is able to produce its respective
frequency band.

Painting the Speakers

A paint shield is included with your speakers. This shield can be used to protect the
speaker when painting the speaker's rim (frame). If you plan to paint your speakers,
we recommend it be done prior to installation. If you decide to paint your speakers
sometime in the future, it is best to remove them from the ceiling or wall. When
painting speakers, the paint shield provided in the packaging must be installed in
place of the grille. The grille can also be painted. Painting the speaker's grille should
be done with a paint sprayer set to fine. Remove the grille from the speaker, peel off
the grille fabric on the back of the grilles and set aside. Place the grilles on a flat
surface. Do not use a brush or roller on the grilles as this will clog the holes, greatly
reducing the sound quality of the speakers. Do not paint the grilles while attached to
the speakers. Be sure to remove the paint shields from the speakers and replace the
fabric to the back of the grilles before reinstalling them and using the speakers.
