Painting
Di
Series Speakers
Your
Di
Series speakers
may
be painted
to
match the color of the wall
or ceiling in which they are installed. Failure
to
follow
the
following
painting instructions may result
in
seriously degraded sound quality.
It
is
your responsibility
to
make sure your painting contractor sees
and
follows these instructions.
1. DO NOT PAINr THE
GRILLE
WITH A
BRUSH
OR
ROllER
-
they will
dog
the
fine mesh of
the
grille
and
doth
scrim
and
result
in
poor sound quality.
2.
Remove the grille from the speaker
and
place it
on
a drop
doth,
newspaper or plastic sheet.
3.
The grille
MUST
be spray painted with one of the following:
• Spray paint
that
closely matches
the
desired finish/color
• A custom spray bomb, color matched to your paint finish
• Indoor latex paint using a spray
gun (paint must be diluted
to
the
paint manufacturer's specifications)
4.
Removing
the
backing
doth
(scrim)
is
not
required.
S.
Paint should be applied
in
a series of thin coats sprayed at
approximately 60 degrees from
the
grille surface, allowing each
coat
to
fully cure before applying additional coats.
6.
To
ensure
that
the
paint distribution
is
evenly applied, each coat
should be applied from at least 4 different directions
to
the grille.
(N,
S,
E & W) This will ensure
an
even coverage
on
the grille.
7.
Once
the
grille has been painted
and
the paint has fully cured, you
may use a brush, or small roller
to
touch-up the outer edge of
the
grille frame - being
VERY
careful
not
to
get
any
additional paint
on
the grille mesh surface.
Optional Fire-Rated Enclosures
Definitive Di
Series
speakers have been designed
to
meet
UL
1480
and
2043 standards
when
used with the appropriate optional Definitive
fire-rated enclosures.
All
plastic parts used in the speakers are
VO
flame
rated as per
UL
94.
While these enclosures are necessary in most countries for commerdal
and
multi-family dwelling installations, residential customers may want
to
use
them
for added safety and/or to reduce the sound from "leaking"
into adjacent rooms.
Recommended speaker
distance from side walls
is
2
feet
(60cm).

Placement Options
o o
Definitive Technology
Di
Series Loudspeakers give you nearly endless
placement options. But remember
that
placement choice for your in-wall
speakers bears careful consideration,
as
installation requires
that
you cut a
hole in your wall or ceiling!
Fill
a room with sound by installing in-wall
speakers in nearly any wall or ceiling location although it
is
best to keep
the
speakers at least 2 feet (60 em) from side walls
[Figure
1].
When
using
Di Series models
in
home
theater applications follow the guidelines
[illustrated
in
Figures
2,3
and
4].
Definitive
Di
Series In-Wall Loudspeakers
have aimable tweeters
that
allow you
to
focus their sound toward or
away from your listening area depending
on
the application.
