Painting the Grille
Revel architectural loudspeaker grilles can be painted to match any
décor. If you wish to change the grille’s color, its satin finish will function
as a primer coat. For the best results follow this procedure:
1. Gently remove the scrim cloth from the back side of the grille before
painting.
2. Use a high-quality spray paint and apply a thin coat of color. Ensure
that the grille perforations remain free of paint. Filling them with
paint will diminish the speaker’s sound quality. If any perforations are
plugged, use compressed air to blow the paint out of the perforations.
Note: If you find any grille perforations that are plugged with paint
after the paint has dried, carefully use a straight pin or sewing
needle to remove the paint.
3. We have included replacement scrim cloths. After the paint has dried,
apply a light coat of spray adhesive to the inside of the perforated
grille and attach a new scrim cloth. IMPORTANT: Never spray
adhesive on the cloth. The square scrim cloth has pre-attached foam
pads that help prevent the grille from vibrating against the ceiling.
NOTE: Square grilles are available for Revel C263, C283, C263LP and
C283LP speakers. Contact your authorized Revel dealer for details.
EXCESSIVE OUTPUT LEVELS
Your Revel loudspeakers feature custom-designed transducers and
high-quality network components featuring high-order filters with steep
cutoffs that reduce the potential of damage to individual speaker drivers
and help the loudspeakers maintain their performance even under
extreme operating conditions. However, all loudspeakers have limits
when it comes to continuous playback. To extend these limits, avoid
playback at volume levels that result in distorted or strained sound.
