. ATRIUM SAT300 PAINTING THE SAT300 LOUDSPEAKER While the Atrium SAT300 has a colorimpregnated finish that enables it to blend in with your landscaping and outdoor furnishings, the cabinet is paintable. Should you choose to paint your speakers, follow these instructions: Before you begin, you will need: • A spray can of primer paint (Krylon Sandable Spray Primer #1318). • A spray can of the outdoor paint of your choice. • A paperclip or thin blade (for removing the paintable grille). • Masking tape. • Paint mask (not included) to cover un-paintable parts. PREPARING TO PAINT 1. Separate the parts of the speaker: Remove the knob, clamp and bracket. Remove the grille by carefully hooking it with a bent paper clip or thin blade and prying it gently away from the cabinet. 2. Carefully mask off the following: • Driver • Tweeter • Terminals • Threaded Insert PAINTING THE CABINET, CLAMP, BRACKET KNOB AND BRACKET 1. Apply two thin coats of primer to the cabinet, clamp, knob and bracket. 2. When the primer is completely dry, apply the finish color. Multiple coats may be required for a consistent look. 3. When the paint is completely dry, remove the masking material. 4. Try to keep all handling of freshly painted parts to a minimum. PAINTING THE GRILLE Note: Make sure the grille is removed and remove the logo badge before painting. 1. Paint the Atrium SAT300 grille using a primer. 2. Using spray paint, spray two thin coats of finish color. 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. Paint the logo badge. 4. Replace the logo badge once the paint is completely dry on the badge and the grille. 5. Carefully fit the grille into its recess so that it is just resting on the cabinet. 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. Customer Service Hours of Operation: Monday-Friday 9AM-6PM EST [email protected]
