Painting Your VRS Micro Speakers

You may paint the surface and grilles of your VRS Micro speakers. You will need: 

• A small screwdriver or knife to remove the grilles from the cabinet

• A fast-drying primer, such as Krylon

®

Sandable Spray Primer #1318

• Masking tape and scrap paper, and a clean dry cloth.

To paint the cabinet:

IMPORTANT: 

Do not paint the red and black electrical

terminals or the black area behind the grilles.

1. Remove the grilles: Use a small screwdriver or knife to

snap open the back edge of each grille near the terminals.

2. Mask off the baffles with masking tape and scrap paper,

and wipe any dust from the cabinet.

3. Apply two thin coats of primer and let dry thoroughly.

4. Apply finishing paint and let dry.

5. Remove masking tape and paper.

To paint the grilles:

IMPORTANT: 

Avoid painting the grilles in a way that caus-

es the holes to be filled.

1. Remove the grilles: Use a small screwdriver or knife to

snap open the back edge of each grille near the terminals.

2. Paint the grilles: Primer is not required. If using a spray

paint, use two thin coats. If using a house paint, thin the

paint to avoid filling the perforation holes in the grille. Let

the paint dry completely.

3. Reinsert the grilles: Insert the front edge in the groove

near the logo and then snap the rear of the grille into

place on the cabinet.

Mounting

1. Make two holes using the bracket as a template. If running wires behind the wall, make a hole for

them 1" (25mm) below the bracket (left).

2. Insert the machine screws through the bracket and thread onto the toggle wings before pene-

trating the wall (center).

3. Level the bracket and tighten the screws. Connect the wires and hang the speaker on the bracket,

so the arrow on the label points to the front of the home theater area (right).
