PAINTING THE
SPEAKER FRAME
AND GRILLE
SPEAKER FRAME
AND GRILLE
The IC15 in-ceiling loudspeaker can be painted to match
any décor. If you wish to change the color, the satin finish
on the grille and frame will function as a primer coat.
Before painting, install the paint shield (inner section of
template in the assembly kit) securely into the recess in
the baffle. This will protect the speaker components and
baffle from paint residue. Use a high-quality spray paint,
and apply a thin coat of color. Be certain the grille
perforations remain free of paint. Filling them with
paint will diminish the sound quality.

Note: Gently remove the “scrim cloth” from the grille
before painting. Attach the extra scrim cloth (supplied)
after lightly spraying the inside of the grille with
adhesive. (Do not spray the cloth.)

Some Dolby Digital-equipped receivers/processors offer
different setup options for each source or surround mode:
e.g., CD-stereo, videotape, Dolby or Pro Logic.

Tweeter-Level Control
In most typical listening rooms, this switch should be
left in the neutral or “0” position. This setting will deliver
the most neutral and balanced sound. In some extreme
cases, it may be desirable to slightly boost or cut the
tweeter’s output, depending upon the room layout,
construction and furnishings.

cases, it may be desirable to slightly boost or cut the
tweeter’s output, depending upon the room layout,
construction and furnishings.
If the room is sparsely furnished, contains large exposed
windows or is otherwise very reverberant, you may want
to set the control to the “–” (–1.5dB) position. If the
room is exceptionally absorbent because it is well
furnished or has thick curtains and/or carpet, you may
want to increase the tweeter output by setting this
switch to the “+” position (+1.5dB). Of course, the
control may be set to either position, based on listener
preference.

Boundary Compensation
Control
Control
This control is designed to be engaged when positioning
the loudspeaker within two feet of another surface to
eliminate the bass peak caused by the second surface
and to maintain a smooth, natural bass response. For
example, if you need to install your in-ceiling speaker
within two feet of a side wall or corner, it is recommended
that the Boundary Compensation control be set to the
“On” position. In all other installations, the control should
typically be set to “Off.” Of course, the control may be
set to either position, based on listener preference.
