Painting DI
LCR
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.
00
NOT PAINrTHE
GRILLE
WITH A
BRUSH
OR
ROLLER-
they will clog
the
fine mesh of the grille
and
cloth scrim
and
result
in
poor sound quality.
2.
Remove the grille from
the
speaker
and
place
it
on
a drop cloth,
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.
Do
not
remove the backing
doth
(scrim).
5. 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.
Placement Options
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.
It
is
best
to
keep the speakers at least 2 feet
(60 cm) from side walls
[Figure
I].
When
using
DI
Series
models in home
theater applications follow the guidelines illustrated in Figures 2
and
3.
Orient the left
and
right speakers so that the tweeters are
on
the outside
edge
as
shown in Figure
2.
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 (see page
6).
