DesignMax Surface-mount Loudspeakers
DM2S, DM3SE, DM5SE, DM6SE, DM8S & DM10S-SUB
1. Remove the grille from the loudspeaker (if it is already
attached). To do this, turn the loudspeaker so its
bracket slots are facing you, and find the two small
openings where the grille meets the enclosure. Insert
a small, flat tool into those openings to disengage the
release tabs, and then pull the grille away from the
loudspeaker.
2. Remove the logo from the grille by pinching the button
on the inside of 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.
Note: The DM3SE, DM5SE, and DM6SE models have
foam strips on the edges of the scrim to improve
acoustic performance. Remove these when you
remove the scrim.
4. Use a dry cloth to clean all surfaces that you want to
paint.
5. Paint the grille:
• DM2S, DM8S, and DM10S-SUB: Powder-coated steel
• DM3SE, DM5SE, and DM6SE: Powder-coated
aluminum
Note: Do not over-apply paint to the grille. Excess paint
will negatively affect the acoustic performance.
6. Mask the loudspeaker labels, connectors and other
components.
WARNING: Do NOT paint the ends of the mounting
bracket that are concealed by the loudspeaker. If
you need to paint the bracket, paint only the part of
the bracket that is visible while it is attached to the
loudspeaker (the gray-shaded area shown here).
7. Paint the enclosure:
• All models except DM10S-SUB: Plastic (PC+PBT)
• DM10S-SUB: Plastic-coated particle board
8. After the paint is dry, remove all masking.
9. 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: For DM3SE, DM5SE, and DM6SE models, we
recommend reattaching the foam strips (mentioned in
Step 3B) to the edges of the grille even if you do not
reattach the scrim. You can add adhesive to these foam
strips if needed.
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.
10. Reattach the unpainted logo to the grille, if desired.
