for crisp highs. The speaker can handle up to
40 watts of music power. The wing-type
mounting system makes it easy to mount
your speaker flush with the ceiling or wall,
making it ideal for unobtrusive use in a
surround-sound system. The frame and grille
can also be painted to match the room’s
decor.

If you choose to paint the frame and grille,
paint them and let them dry before you
connect the speaker wire or mount the
speaker.
To remove the grille for painting, insert a
paper clip into one of the grille openings, then
pull up. Or, you can carefully twist the plastic
frame back and forth until the grille edge
becomes exposed, then lift the grille to
remove it.
Carefully remove the dust cloth from behind
the grill and replace it after you are finished
painting.
±
You can also paint the frame to match your
wall or ceiling. To prevent paint from entering
the speaker, remove the grille and insert the
supplied cardboard paint mask. After the
paint is dry, remove the paint mask and
replace the grille.

Your local RadioShack store sells a wide
selection of speaker wire. We recommend
you use wire that is color-coded or marked on
one side to help you connect the wire
correctly.
1. Route the speaker wire to the speaker
from the receiver.
±
2. Separate about 4 inches of speaker wire
at each end.
