PAINTING THE SPEAKER
FRAME AND GRILLE
Studio L in-wall and in-ceiling loudspeakers can be painted to match any
décor. If you wish to change their color, the satin finish on the grille and frame
will function as a primer coat. Before painting, install the paint shield (inner
section of template in the assembly kit) securely into the recess in the baffle.
This will protect the speaker components and baffle from paint residue. Use a
high-quality spray paint, and apply a thin coat of color. Be certain the grille
perforations remain free of paint. Filling them with paint will diminish the
sound quality.
NOTE: Gently remove the acoustical foam blanket from the grille before paint-
ing. Reattach the blanket after the paint has dried.
If you wish to preinstall a rough-in frame before the drywall is installed, you
will need to purchase the correct rough-in-frame kit for your model:
Speaker Model Rough-In-Frame Kit
L226W, LS326W RIF 6
L226C, LS326C RIF 6CS
L228C, LS328C RIF 8C
Detailed installation instructions are supplied with the rough-in kit.
OPERATION
SURROUND MODES
When using the system in a Dolby
®
Digital or DTS
®
home theater system,
make sure all speakers are set to “Small.” When using the Studio L in-wall
and in-ceiling speakers in a Dolby Pro Logic
®
home theater system, make sure
the receiver’s center channel mode is set to “Normal.”
Some Dolby Digital-equipped receivers/processors offer different setup
options for each source or surround mode: e.g., CD-stereo, videotape, Dolby
or Pro Logic. In each case, follow your equipment’s instructions to ensure that
the subwoofer (if you have one) output is turned on and that the speakers are
set to “Small” in each mode.
