HOW – Painting the Speaker Frames and Grilles
HOW - PAINTING THE SPEAKER FRAMES AND
GRILLES
Russound in-wall speaker frames and grilles are pre-fin-
ished with an off-white paint. You can choose to leave
them as is or paint them with latex wall paint or aerosol
spray paint to accent or blend with the wall or ceiling.
TO PAINT SPEAKERS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN
ASSEMBLED:
Separate and remove the speaker baffle from the
frame and set it aside.
Remove the scrim cloth by gently separating it from
the inside surface of the perforated grille, being careful to
keep it clean. Store it before you begin painting.
Paint the outer speaker frame and grille separately.
For the grille, Russound recommends a spray applica-
tion using latex paint diluted 4 to 5:1 with water. If
you’re using an aerosol spray paint, make sure that you
achieve the same coverage on both grille and frame.
While the paint is still wet on the grille, and the
grille is not in the frame, use a gentle burst of com-
pressed air against the outside surface to clear the fine
holes in the metal mesh.
After the paint has thoroughly dried, re-install the
speaker baffle inside the frame.
Reattach the scrim cloth to the grille, starting from
the edge and smoothing wrinkles as you go.
