Grille Painting Guidelines

The ECS-SS82 Edgeless 8” SweetSpot In-Ceiling Speaker grilles are
paintable and can accept virtually any type of paint. We strongly
recommend the following:

1. Remove the grilles from the speakers prior to painting them.

2. Thin the paint prior to application, if needed. Spray and roller paint
applications typically provide the best results. Note that you may
need to apply multiple thin layers of paint to achieve the desired
shade without losing sound quality due to clogging of the grilles.

3. Let the painted grilles fully dry before mounting them back on the
speakers.

Grille Painting & Placement Considerations

Speaker Placement

The ECS-SS82 Edgeless 8” SweetSpot In-Ceiling Speakers are
designed to be flush mounted in walls or ceilings. For optimal
acoustical performance, simply follow these guidelines:

1. Place speakers at an equal distance (left/right) from listener.

2. Speakers must be spaced at a 40 - 60° angle from listener, as
illustrated in Figure 1.

3. Aim tweeter towards the listener’s ear when in listening position, as
illustrated in Figure 2.
