NEW CONSTRUCTION
PAINTING THE SPEAKER
FRAME AND GRILLE
SoundPoint Series loud-
speakers can be painted to
match any décor. If you wish
to change their color, the satin
finish on the grille and frame
will function as a primer coat.
Before painting, install the
paint shield (inner section of
template in the assembly kit)
securely into the recess in the
baffle. This will protect the
speaker components and baf-
fle from paint residue. Use a
high-quality spray paint, and
apply a thin coat of color.
Be certain the grille perfora-
tions remain free of paint.
Filling them with paint will
diminish the sound quality.
Note:
Gently remove the
acoustical foam blanket from
the grille before painting.
Reattach the blanket after
the paint has dried.
You will need to purchase the correct rough-in frame kit for your model:

• Check that receiver/amplifier
is on and a source is playing.
• Check all wires and connec-
tions between receiver/ampli-
fier and speakers. Make sure
all wires are connected. Make
sure none of the speaker wires
are frayed, cut, punctured or
touching each other.
• Review proper operation of
your receiver/amplifier.

tions between receiver/ampli-
fier and speakers. Make sure
all wires are connected. Make

IF THERE IS LOW (OR
NO) BASS OUTPUT:
• Make sure the connections
to the left and right “Speaker
