PLACEMENT OPTIONS
The Atrium has a wide dispersion pattern,
and is very efficient. Your Atrium Series
speakers will deliver good sound quality
throughout a large listening area, but if you
really want high sound levels in an outdoor
setting, which has acoustic characteristics
that differ from those of indoor conditions,
we recommend multiple-pair setups.
You will maximize the useful life of your
Atrium speakers by placing them where they
will receive less exposure to the elements.
Look for the best overall compromise
between sound quality, convenience
and exposure.

AINTING YOUR ATRIUM AW
P
LOUDSPEAKERS
You will need:
• A spray can of primer paint (Krylon
Sandable Spray Primer #1318)
• 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)
• Masking tape
• Paint mask (to cover unpaintable parts—
not included. To make an easy paint mask,
use the grille as a template and cut a mask
from heavy, nonporous Kraft paper.)
ARING TO PAINT:
PREP
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.
