the mounting opening.

6. Carefully insert the speaker into the mounting opening, pressing
evenly around the baffle. Ensure that the Roller Lock tool-less mounts
are in their locked, ready-to-mount, position and that none have
accidentally been pushed outside the mounting opening. As you insert
the speaker, the Roller Locks will rotate into the locking position and
will firmly clamp the speaker into the mounting opening.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to insert the speaker straight into
the opening. Do not tilt the speaker while inserting it.

speaker frame will securely hold the grille in place.

Painting the Grille
Revel architectural loudspeaker grilles can be painted to match any
décor. If you wish to change the grille’s color, its satin finish will function
as a primer coat. For the best results follow this procedure:
1. Gently remove the scrim cloth from the back side of the grille before
painting.
2. Use a high-quality spray paint and apply a thin coat of color. Ensure
that the grille perforations remain free of paint. Filling them with
paint will diminish the speaker’s sound quality. If any perforations are
plugged, use compressed air to blow the paint out of the perforations.
Note: If you find any grille perforations that are plugged with paint
after the paint has dried, carefully use a straight pin or sewing
needle to remove the paint.
