Niles Audio OS5.3SI Speaker System User Manual


 
The enclosure, the brackets, and the grilles of the OS loudspeaker can all be
painted to match the surroundings. Because we want you to preserve the acoustic
qualities of the grille, please paint the grille according to the grille painting
instructions. Make sure you pick a paint that is appropriate for the mounting
location. There are interior and exterior varieties, and even paint for marine uses. If
you are not sure what paint to use, consult a paint store professional or a painter.
Tools Required
• A spray can of primer paint
• The correct paint for the environment/use (oil or water based paint is fine)
• A paint brush or applicator if the paint is not in a spray can.
• A paper clip or an awl (for removing the grille)
• Masking tape
• 2 paint masks (supplied)
• A damp cloth and a dry cloth
Preparing to Paint
1. Separate the parts of the speaker. You should remove the brackets and the bracket
knobs. Remove the grille by hooking it with a bent paper clip or the tip of an awl
and pulling it away from the cabinet (See Figure 8).
