Painting Guide
• Proper paint application is the responsibility of the integrator or installer.
Application technique is as important as paint selection and preparation.
• It is the responsibility of the integrator or installer to ensure no
degradation to the grille attachment occurs as a result of painting or
scrim reapplication.
• Do not paint any loudspeaker while it is installed.
• Ensure all loudspeaker wires/cables and AC mains power connections
are disconnected before painting.
• Do not paint any area that is covered by the grille. This area has critical
acoustic and mounting components that will not function properly or
safely if covered in paint. Properly mask it before painting.
• Do not paint any connectors or areas where electrical connections are
made.
PAINTING INSTRUCTIONS
Before starting to paint, review the Warnings/Cautions above.
Use paint appropriate for the material indicated in the instructions below.
Note: Multiple coats of paint can clog grille holes and negatively affect its acoustic performance. We recommend using
spray paint that includes primer so it can be applied in a single, even coat.
DesignMax & EdgeMax In-ceiling Loudspeakers
DM2C-LP, DM3C, DM5C, DM6C, DM8C, DM8C-SUB, EM90 & EM180
1. Remove the grille from the loudspeaker (if it is already
attached).
2. Remove the logo from the grille.
3. Remove the scrim (grille cloth) from the grille.
Note: Not removing the scrim will negatively affect the
loudspeaker appearance and acoustic performance.
A. Use a flathead screwdriver or similar object to peel
up a small section of the scrim.
B. Grab the scrim with your fingers and pull it back
slowly to remove it in one piece.
WARNINGS/CAUTIONS
• Do not paint over labels or critical safety markings. Properly mask them
before painting.
• Do not paint any suspension cable or suspension cable hardware.
These instructions apply only to the following loudspeaker

Do NOT paint FreeSpace FS, ArenaMatch (AM), or ArenaMatch
Utility (AMU) loudspeakers.
4. Use a dry cloth to clean all surfaces that you want to
paint.
5. Paint the grille (powder-coated steel).
Note: Do not over-apply paint to the grille. Excess paint
will negatively affect the acoustic performance.
Note: You do not need to paint the enclosure or baffle.
These parts are not visible when the grille is attached.
6. Reattach the scrim to the grille, if desired. To determine
if you need to reattach the scrim, check if any
components (woofer, labels, screws, magnets, etc.) are
visible when the painted grille is placed over them.
Note: If needed, you can apply adhesive directly to the
grille to help keep the scrim in place and prevent it
from moving during loudspeaker performance.
7. Reattach the unpainted logo to the grille, if desired.
