PLACEMENT OPTIONS OPTIONS D’INSTALLATION The Atrium has a wide dispersion pattern, and is very efficient. Your Atrium Series speakers will deliver good sound quality throughout a large listening area, but if you really want high sound levels in an outdoor setting, which has acoustic characteristics that differ from those of indoor conditions, we recommend multiple-pair setups.
PREPARING TO PAINT: PAINTING YOUR ATRIUM AW LOUDSPEAKERS You will need: • A spray can of primer paint (Krylon Sandable Spray Primer #1318) • A spray can of the paint of your choice. Choose exterior grade paint if you plan to use the speakers outdoors. • A paperclip or corkscrew (for removing the paintable grille) • Masking tape • Paint mask (to cover unpaintable parts—not included. To make an easy paint mask, use the grille as a template and cut a mask from heavy, nonporous Kraft paper.
