Thank You
Thank you for choosing Definitive Technology DT Series In-Wall loud-speakers. The DT Series offers excellent sound quality from
speakers that virtually disappear when installed in a wall or ceiling. To ensure you experience the finest performance possible,
please take some time to fully read this owner’s manual and familiarize yourself with the proper installation and set-up procedures.
Unpacking Your DT Series Loudspeakers
Please inspect for shipping damage
Each loudspeaker leaves our plant in perfect condition. Any visible or concealed damage most likely occurred in handling after
the loudspeaker left our plant and should be reported at once to your Definitive dealer or the delivery company that delivered your
loudspeaker. Please unpack your system carefully. Save all cartons and packing materials should you move or need to ship your
system. Your loudspeakers’ serial numbers can be found on the back of each loudspeaker and on the carton; record those numbers
in this manual and save it for future reference should your speaker need service. For your best protection, register your DT Series

Painting DT Series Speakers
Your DT Series speakers may be painted to match the color of the wall or ceiling in which they are installed. Failure to follow these
painting instructions may result in seriously degraded sound quality. It is your responsibility to make sure your painting contractor sees
and follows these instructions.
1.
DO NOT PAINT THE GRILLE WITH A BRUSH OR ROLLER
they will clog the fine mesh of the grille and cloth scrim and result in poor sound quality.
2. Remove the grille from the speaker and place it on a drop cloth, newspaper or plastic sheet.
3. The grille MUST be spray painted with one of the following:
•
Spray paint that closely matches the desired finish/color
•
A custom spray bomb, color matched to your paint finish
•
Indoor latex paint using a spray gun (paint must be diluted to the paint manufacturer’s specifications)
4. Removing the backing cloth (scrim) is not required.
5. Paint should be applied in a series of thin coats sprayed at approximately 60 degrees from the grille surface.
6. Allow each coat to fully cure before applying additional coats.
7. To ensure the paint is applied evenly, each coat should be sprayed on from at least 4 Different Directions to the grille.
(N, S, E & W) This will ensure even coverage on the grille.
8. Once the grille has been painted and the paint has fully cured, you may use a brush, or small roller to touch-up the outer edge
of the grille frame; Be very careful not to get any additional paint on the grille’s mesh surface.
Note:
Sherwin Williams Automotive Finishes Stores will custom make an aerosol paint to match any sample that is easier to apply.
