MAGNETIC TRIBE GRILLS (INCLUDED)

We  firmly  believe  that  our  chosen  drivers  are  of  the  highest  quality  making  them  easily  esthetically 

appealing. To achieve ideal performance Totem recommends the removal of grills in listening sessions.

MOUNTING THE MAGNETIC GRILL

This  high  performance  fully  back  boxed  design  incorporates  a  magnetic  grill  attachment.  Once  fully 

installed, the grill will align flush with the aluminum bezel.

grill

The grill incorporates a scrim-cloth to hide the drivers when installed. This scrim-cloth must be removed 

before painting. It is adhered to the grill with a light adhesive. To remove, gently peel from each corner 

in turn.

SAVE the scrim-cloth until the grill is painted and dry.

It is not necessary to paint the speaker cabinet or frame, as the grill will cover the entire face.

If you are using a spray gun, set it for the most diffuse spray and try two very thin coats. If you are using a 

brush, thin the paint so that the grill holes will not be blocked.

After the paint is dry, re-apply the scrim-cloth. Starting with one edge, work the scrim-cloth back into 

place, making sure that the cloth is stretched flat behind the grill.

SPEAKER POSITIONING

Totem produces speakers with great dispersion, both on the vertical and horizontal axis. These speakers 

are of a superior design and will perform remarkably well in a variety of spaces. With special care and the 

time, you take to position your Totem speakers the greater the result.

SPEAKER ABUSE PREVENTION

To ensure an optimum listening experience, protecting your Totem speakers from damage despite a 

partnership with even the most advanced amplifiers in the industry is an achievable yet delicate balance 

to achieve. Please be attentive to the following guidelines to obtain the foremost acoustical musicality 

from your Totem speakers, whilst preventing any serious prejudice. (Please refer to your Totem Authorized
