PREPARING TO PAINT:
1. Separate the parts of the speaker. If the
speaker is not yet installed, the grille can
be removed simply by pushing the clamp
screws forward to push the grille off the
speaker from the inside. If the speaker is
already in the wall, carefully hook the
grille with a bent paper clip and pull it
gently away from the frame
[figure 6]
.
2. Remove the cloth
scrim
from the inside of
the grille. Replace after paint dries.
3. When painting the frame of the speaker,
use the supplied paint masks to carefully
mask off the front of the speakers to pro-
tect the drivers and baffles while painting.
You can do this while the speaker is
already installed in the wall (if, for
instance, you’re repainting the room). If
you do not have the paint masks, carefully
mask the speaker components using paper
and masking tape.

PAINTING YOUR TCI SERIES IN-WALL
LOUDSPEAKERS
You will need:
• Paint of your choice (to make the job
easier, we recommend spray painting
the grille).
• A paperclip or corkscrew (for removing the
paintable grille, corkscrew can also be used
to open the wine when you relax with your
newly painted TC
i
speakers, see page 10).
• Masking tape.
• Paint mask (to cover unpaintable
parts,
supplied!
).
-3dB Tweeter Attenuation
— If your
listening room is very reflective, with
smooth sheetrock walls, hardwood floors,
and non-cushioned furniture, the sound will
be overly “bright” and unnatural.
Engaging the TC
i
Tweeter Attenuation feature
(by selecting the “Cut” setting) compensates
for the effect of reflectivity in a hard room.
Tweeter Attenuation flattens room response
without hindering higher frequency response,
for warmer, more realistic sound and more
accurate imaging.
