Painting the Speaker Grille
Paint shields are no longer included with the Visage Series. Painting the speaker grille should
be done with a paint sprayer set to fine. Remove the grille from the speaker, peel off the grill
fabric on the back of the grille and set aside. Place the grille on a flat surface.
Do not use a
brush or roller on the speaker grille as it will clog the holes
, and this will greatly reduce the
sound quality of the speakers. Do not paint the grille while attached to the speaker.
Installing the Speaker
NOTE:
Remove ¼-inch of the insulation from the wires before connecting to the speaker.
1. Locate the speaker wire previously run to the speaker location and connect the speaker
wire to the terminal connections on the rear of the speaker. The positive conductor
connects to the red terminal and the negative conductor connects to the black
terminal, refer to the wiring diagram.
2. Install the speaker into cutout hole in the wall.
3. The speaker is secured by the eight dog legs. Tighten the eight screws on the front of
the speaker with a Phillips #2 screwdriver which will rotate the dog legs out and pull
them towards the mounting surface. Tighten the screws until they are snug.
Do not
over-tighten as this may warp the face-plate causing the thin grille to not mount
correctly and could also cause frame or mounting mechanism damage not covered
under warranty.
Sound Contour Adjustment
The VM-553 has two pivoting tweeters and a +3/0/-3 dB gain switch. To select a setting on the
gain switch simply slide the switch up, down or position it to the middle to obtain the desired
sound. Depending upon your listening area, you may find the sound more pleasing to point
the tweeters in a particular direction. If additional treble is desired, simply point the tweeters
towards that area.
