Painting
Di
5.58PS Speakers
Your
Di
S.SBPS
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 PAINT
1HE
GRILLE
WTIH A
BRUSH
OR
ROLLER
-
they
will
clog
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 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
CiJStom
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 cloth (scrim)
is
not
required.
S.
Paint shouldbe 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 commercial
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.
Placement Options
Placement choice for your in-wall speakers bears careful consideration,
as
installation requires
that
you cut a hole in your wall or ceiling! The Di
BPS
is
a bipolar speaker intended to produce a diffuse
and
non-localizable surround
effect.
As
such its placement
is
very different
than
front channel speakers.
They may
be
placed in the ceiling or wall.
Keep
the
speakers at least 2 feet
(61cm) from side walls.
When
mounting the speakers in walls, they should
be
positioned at least 6 feet
(2
meters) high.
See
the illustrations for specific
placement guidelines. Definitive
Di
S.SBPS
Loudspeakers have aimable
tweeters
that
allow you to focus their sound toward
or
away from your
listening area depending
on
the application.
