CLOUD 4 and CLOUD 6 – Installation Guide

PAINTING THE SPEAKER
The CLOUD speaker’s textured white finish does not need further finishing. Where the interior design
requires it, these speakers are easy to paint. The speaker backcan and front face are all metal, the
white powdered coat paint can easily be painted over with almost any type of latex or oil based paint.
The rim can be painted before installation or after it has been mounted to the ceiling.
Painting Process
Make sure the speaker is clean and free from any dirt or grease. Do not use abrasives such as
sandpaper or steel wool, or harsh solvents such as gasoline, kerosene, acetone, MEK, paint thinner,
harsh detergents or other chemicals. Use of these cleaners may result in permanent damage to the
enclosure.
Apply two or more thin coats of either latex or oil-based paint. Latex paint will adhere better if an oil-
based primer is used first. Application can be made by rolling, brushing or spraying.
Painting the Grille
– Painting the grille requires removal of the CLOUD logo and the internal grille
cloth, then spray painting. If the grille is rolled or brush painted, the mesh may become clogged with
paint and poor sound quality may result. After the paint has dried, replace the internal grille cloth and
CLOUD logo.
Painting the Speaker Along with the Ceiling
– If you wish to paint the speaker along with the
ceiling after installation, insert a plastic or cardboard paint shield into the front of the speaker to mask
the drivers and internal baffle. Paint the speaker and then remove the shield once the paint is dry.
