Grille Installation

After all adjustments and listening tests are made install the grille. Replace 

the scrim cloth in the grille smoothing the material in place. Insert the speaker 

grille by placing it over the speaker baffle and aligning its edges in the frame. 

Press gently into place, taking care not to scratch the frame finish or bend the 

grille. In most installations, the grilles will fit tightly without causing vibration. 

If any audible vibration does occur, use lengths of special damping/adhesive 

material.
