Grille Removal and Installation
The steel grilles on the MVP™ Series II full-range systems are mounted with four molded nylon grille
clamps. These clamps are located on the face of the cabinet, two just below the lower edge of the high
frequency horn, and two about 3” (about 8 cm) above the bottom edge of the face. The clamps are
operated by a socket head machine screw that draws the upper portion of the clamp down toward the
face. As the clamp is drawn down its outer surface engages the grille, forcing the grille down against the
face and securely clamping the grille against the edge of the cabinet.
Grille Removal
Grille removal is easiest with the cabinet facing upward. To remove the grille use the 1/8” (3mm) ball
end hex key that was included in the package with this manual. Insert the long arm of the key through the
grille perforation nearest to the socket head screw of the grille clamp. Engage the key into the screw head
and loosen the screw five full turns. Repeat this procedure with the remaining three grille clamps.
When the socket head screws of all four grille clamps have been loosened, the grille may be removed.
Hook the short arm of the key through a grille perforation near a corner and pull that corner of the grille
up until the edge of the grille just clears the edge of the cabinet. Repeat this with the other corner on the
same side of the grille. Once one side of the grille is free, the grille will spring back to its natural flat
shape. Use the key to lift the other edge of the grille and remove the grille from the cabinet.
Note: Be
very careful when handling the grille near the cone of the woofer. A corner of the grille can very
easily puncture the paper cone of the woofer.
