TO PAINT SPEAKERS THAT HAVE BEEN
ASSEMBLED AND INSTALLED:
Remove the speaker grilles from the frames, being
careful not to damage the paint. Use a small pointed
object and start at the corner or edge of the grille.
Remove the scrim cloth by gently separating it from
the inside surface of the perforated grille, being careful to
keep it clean. Store it before you begin painting.
Center the included black plastic paint shield over
the speaker baffle and press into the frame.
Paint the outer speaker frame and grille separately.
For the grille, Russound recommends a spray applica-
tion using latex paint diluted 4 to 5:1 with water. If
you’re using an aerosol spray paint, make sure that you
achieve the same coverage on both grille and frame.
While the paint is still wet on the grille, and the
grille is not in the frame, use a gentle burst of com-
pressed air against the outside surface to clear the fine
holes in the metal mesh.
After the paint has thoroughly dried, remove the
paint shield from the frame and store for future use.
The shield may be held in by a vacuum seal. Pull gently
but firmly to slowly break the seal and remove.
Reattach the scrim cloth to the grille, starting from
the edge and smoothing wrinkles as you go.
Note: Speaker frames can become bonded to the wall
or ceiling surface paint when they are painted after
installation. Use care not to break the surface of the
paint when replacing the grille or baffle in the frame.
