Painting DI LCR Speakers
Your DI Series speakers may be painted to match the color of the wall
or ceiling in which they are installed. Failure to follow the following
painting instructions may result in seriously degraded sound quality.
It is your responsibility to make sure your painting contractor sees and
follows these instructions.
1. DO NOT PAINT THE GRILLE WITH A BRUSH OR ROLLER —
they will clog the fine mesh of the grille and cloth scrim and result
in poor sound quality.
2.
Remove the grille from the speaker and place it on a drop cloth,
newspaper or plastic sheet.
3. The grille MUST be spray painted with one of the following:
• Spray paint that closely matches the desired finish/color
• A custom spray bomb color matched to your paint finish
• Indoor latex paint using a spray gun (paint must be diluted
to the paint manufacturer’s specifications)
4. Do not remove the backing cloth (scrim).
5. Paint should be applied in a series of thin coats sprayed at
approximately 60 degrees from the grille surface, allowing each
coat to fully cure before applying additional coats.
6. To ensure that the paint distribution is evenly applied, each coat
should be applied from at least 4 different directions to the grille.
(N, S, E & W) This will ensure an even coverage on the grille.
7. Once the grille has been painted and the paint has fully cured, you
may use a brush or small roller to touch-up the outer edge of the
grille frame — being VERY careful not to get any additional paint
on the grille mesh surface.
Placement Options
Definitive Technology DI Series Loudspeakers give you nearly endless
placement options. But remember that placement choice for your in-wall
speakers bears careful consideration, as installation requires that you cut a
hole in your wall or ceiling. It is best to keep the speakers at least 2 feet
(60 cm) from side walls [Figure 1]. When using DI Series models in home
theater applications follow the guidelines illustrated in Figures 2 and 3.
Orient the left and right speakers so that the tweeters are on the outside
edge as shown in Figure 2. Definitive DI Series In-Wall Loudspeakers have
aimable tweeters that allow you to focus their sound toward or away from
your listening area depending on the application (see page 6).
