PAINTING
EVOi.324 is readily paintable. The SMC (Sheet Molded
Compound) provides a lightly textured surface that any
standard household or industrial paint readily adheres to.
The result is a sound reinforcement system that is able to
blend unobtrusively into the decor of its environment.
Instructions for Painting:
1. It is strongly recommended that EVOi.324 be partially
disassembled to obtain optimum results. This requires
removing the grill, the handle bar, and suspension point
placeholder screws.
A. Remove the grill screw covers by gently prying off.
B. Remove six grill retain screws.
C. Remove four allen head screws from the grill frame.
D. Remove the grill taking care to keep the grill and grill
supports together.
E. Remove all six suspension placeholder screws.
F. Remove the four allen screws retaining the handle bar
and remove the bar.
2. Prepare all surfaces by wiping off dust and cleaning with
a damp cloth. It may be necessary to use a mild household
cleaner to remove grease.
3. Carefully mask the aluminum electronics enclosure on
the back of the speaker. IT SHOULD NOT BE PAINTED.
Removal of the electronics enclosure should only be done
by qualified service personnel.
4. Carefully mask the baffle area. Avoid getting paint on the
loudspeaker cones or in the waveguide. Its not a good
thing.
5. Apply as many coats of paint as is required. Standard
household or industrial paints (i. e. waterbased latex or
enamel) will provide the best results. Spraying many thin
coats will provide the best results.
6. Assemble the EVOi.324 in reverse order as described in
Step One.
