Top Cover

Use of the top cover is optional, and its only 
purpose is aesthetic. If you prefer a more traditional 
pendant look, you may choose not to install the top 
cap. However, if a more modern look is what you 
are after then installing the top cover gives a
beautiful, organic shape to the pendant.

The decision to install the top cover should be made 
before hanging the pendant, since installing the top 
cover requires any speaker wire or hanging cables 
to be threaded through the hole in the cover.

Painting

If you decide to paint your BeatDrop pendant, it is 
best to temporarily hang it at a height that all       
surfaces to be painted can be accessed. Depending 
on the thickness of the paint, you may want to thin it 
slightly. Care needs to be taken when painting to not 
clog the holes of the grill with paint. The grill is not 
removable. Always paint the grill at an angle, to 
minimize the amount of paint that might pass 
through the grill onto the speaker diaphragms.

Care and Maintenance

Your BeatDrop pendant was designed to give you 
years of trouble-free enjoyment, with minimal care.
