-III and MB24-III loudspeaker cabinets can be painted. When painting
an LT loudspeaker, it is important that no paint is applied to the transducers or connector panel.
Before painting the cabinet, turn off the amplifier power and disconnect the loudspeaker input connection. Make sure the
cabinet is clean and free of dust and debris. The transducers and connector panel must be removed or masked so that no
paint can get on them. For maximum paint adhesion, an alkyd enamel (oil based) primer should be used. Follow the
instructions of the primer manufacturer in applying the primer. When the primer is sufficiently dry, latex paint can be
applied to the cabinet. Several layers of paint may be needed, depending on the color of the paint and the cosmetic stan-
dards desired. Paint can be applied in any standard method including brush, roller, spray, etc. The method of applying
paint should be determined by the cosmetic standards desired. For best results, a professional spray paint process
should be used.
The above paragraph contains the recommended painting method for maximum paint adhesion and cosmetic standards.
If an alkyd enamel primer cannot be used, a latex primer can be used but this will not provide as much adhesion as the
alkyd enamel primer. Latex paint can also be used directly on the cabinet without any primer but this will also result in less
adhesion.
