AINTING YOUR ATRIUM

P
LOUDSPEAKERS

You will need:

• A spray can of primer paint (Krylon Sandable
Spray Primer #1318, or equivalent).

• A spray can of the paint of your choice. Choose
exterior grade paint if you plan to use the
speakers outdoors.

• A paperclip or corkscrew (for removing the
paintable grille) [figure 4].

• Masking tape.

• Paint mask (to cover unpaintable parts—

.) To make an easy paint mask, use the

included

not

grille as a template and cut a mask from heavy,
nonporous Kraft paper.

PREPARING TO PAINT:

1. Separate the parts of the speaker. Remove
the brackets and bracket knobs. Remove
the grille by carefully hooking it with a bent
paper clip and pulling it gently away from
the cabinet [figure 4].

2. Mask off the binding posts on the back of the
speaker [figure 5], the end panels and bracket
knobs, and carefully mask off the front of the
speakers to protect the drivers and baffles
while painting [figure 6]. The grille features
an engraved logo pod. You can mask this off
or paint right over it.

AINTING THE CABINET, BRACKET

P
KNOBS AND BRACKET:

1. Apply two thin coats of primer to the
cabinet and knobs. The bracket does not
require a primer.

2. When the primer is completely dry, apply the
finish color [figure 7].

3. When the paint is completely dry, remove the
masking material.

4. Do not reattach the speaker to the bracket until
the bracket is mounted. Try to keep all handling
of freshly painted parts to a minimum.

PAINTING THE GRILLE:

1. The grille of the Atrium speaker features an
even, protective powder coating. This powder
coating is an ideal primer. The grille features
an engraved logo pod. You can mask this off
or paint right over it.

2. Using spray paint, spray two thin coats of finish
color with no primer [figure 8]. If you’re using a
compressor and spray gun, use the finest, most
diffuse setting. Be careful not to fill the holes
in the grille with paint.

3. When the paint is completely dry, carefully fit
the grille into its recess so that it is just resting
on the cabinet. Starting with one corner, go
around the speaker and push the grille into
the grille notch a little bit at a time. Be gentle;
the grille may be easily bent out of shape
by rough handling.

Mask the binding posts on the rear of the speaker.
