If you wish to paint the frames or grilles of your speakers it should be done prior to installation of the grille. Refer to
the painting instructions that follow. If you will not be painting the speakers speaker you can install the grille now. A
decorative scrim is attached to the grille of the speakers. A wax paper sheet is used to protect the scrim during ship-
ment. Remove the wax paper sheet before installing the grille.
To install the grille simply press it into the speaker frame.
Warning:
If you are planning to install the tie-tack logo on the grille, do not install the logo directly over the tweeter.
It is possible for the pin to make contact with and possibly damage the dome of the tweeter

Painting the Speaker Frame
The speakers may be painted before or after they are installed. They are already primed.
Insert the supplied paint shield before you paint the frame. If you are using spray paint, apply two light coats. If you
are applying paint with a brush or roller, thin the paint and apply two very light coats. This helps prevent excessive
paint buildup and “runs” on the frame.
After the paint has dried, use the fi nger pulls to remove the paint shield.
Painting the Speaker Grille
Remove the protective wax paper from the scrim then carefully remove the scrim. Place the scrim on the wax paper to
keep the adhesive clean while painting the grille.
If you are using spray paint, apply two light coats. If you are applying paint with a brush or roller, thin the paint and
apply two very light coats. This helps prevent paint from fi lling the holes in the grille.
After the paint is dry, reinstall the cloth and grille logo. Note the warning in the precious section regarding the posi-
tion of the logo to avoid damage to the tweeter dome.
