Painting the Speaker Grille

IMPORTANT!

 

Before painting remove grille from speakers. Do not paint the surface of the speaker 

behind the grille. Do not use a paint roller.

1.  

Remove the grille from the speaker.

2.  

Paint the grille, being careful not to plug the holes. For best results use a spray rather than 
a brush. Allow the paint to completely dry before proceeding. Do not paint the surface 
behind the grille.

NOTE: 

Retrofit Back Boxes are available for all in-ceiling Motion series speakers. These back 

boxes reduce sound from “leaking” into the area above where the speaker is installed. For 
example, if building a home theater downstairs and there are living spaces directly above where 
the speakers are installed it may be desirable to use these back boxes to help contain the sound so 
it does not cause any disturbance to those above the speakers.
