The ECS Edgeless In-Ceiling Speakers are designed to be flush mounted in

walls or ceilings. For optimal acoustical performance, simply follow these

guidelines:

GrillePaintingGuidelines

The ECS Edgeless In-Ceilingl Speaker grilles are paintable and can accept

virtuallyanytypeofpaint.Westronglyrecommendthefollowing:

1.Removethegrillesfromthespeakerspriortopaintingthem.

2. Thin the paint prior to application, if needed. Spray and roller paint

applications typically provide the best results. Note that you may need to

apply multiple thin layers of paint to achieve the desired shade without

3. Let the painted grilles fully dry before mounting them back on the

speakers.
