SPEAKER INSTALLATION

When all the drywall cutting and sanding is done you are ready to install
the speakers. Remove the masonite cover and follow the instructions for

SPEAKER CONNECTION

Turn all amplifier(s) OFF before connecting speakers.
This will avoid damage which results from accidental
shorting of speaker cables.

COLOR-MATCH PAINTING

Paradigm ® Reference in-wall LCR speakers have either a textured or powder-
coated finish in neutral white to blend into any area. They can also be painted
to match any décor.
Please note:
• Do not paint the surface behind the grille;
• Do not heat-cure your newly painted speakers;
• Avoid painting the rear surface of the speaker — protect it by masking it.
DO NOT paint grilles when they are installed on the speaker.
To paint, follow these steps:
1) Unscrew the speaker's removable metal frame (Fig. 11).
2) Lightly sand flanges with fine sandpaper (included) to provide better
paint adhesion.

3) In a well-ventilated area, apply several light coats of paint, letting dry
completely between coats. Follow the paint manufacturer's directions.

Remove protective cloth (if included) from inside grille before painting,
and re-attach after paint has dried. It is easier to spray the grille
than use a paint brush.
