Grille Installation
After all adjustments and listening tests are made install the grille. 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 the pre-cut lengths of special
damping/adhesive material.
Frequency Adjustment
Press only on the outer ring of
the tweeter. Pressing on the
interior of the tweeter dome
will damage it!
