RTSC/RTSFX  

PAINTING IN-WALL GRILLES  

RTSC/RTSFX CLOTH GRILLE  

ROOM ENVIRONMENT CONTROLS  

Painting in-wall grilles  

Removing the cloth grille:  

Tweeter Switch (RTSC/RTSFX)  

The RTSC/RTSFX are supplied with two grilles,  

one perforated aluminum, the other cloth-covered  

plastic. The perforated aluminum grille may be  

painted, while you may dye the cloth grille.  

The RTSC/RTSFX cloth grille fits tightly to the speaker  

baffle. If you use the cloth grille, take special care  

when removing it.  

If your listening room is very reflective, with smooth  

sheetrock walls, hardwood floors, and non-cushioned  

furniture, the sound will be overly “bright” and unnatu-  

ral. Selecting the “cut” setting compensates for the  

effect of reflectivity in a hard room. Tweeter attenua-  

tion flattens room response, without hindering higher  

frequency response, for warmer, more realistic sound  

and more accurate imaging.  

Important Note: Never use any tool, such as a paper-  

clip, to remove the grille, as this could tear the cloth.  

Required tools:  

1. Paint of your choice (grilles must be spray painted).  

2. A paperclip or corkscrew (for removing the  

paintable grille).  

Instead, use your hands (after you’ve washed them),  

grasping the grille frame near two of its mounting cups  

and pulling the frame firmly away from the baffle.

. Masking tape  

Wall Distance Switch (RTSFX)  

4. Paint mask (supplied; covers un-paintable parts)  

In-wall and in-ceiling loudspeakers excel when placed  

more than 2' (60cm) from side walls. If position limita-  

tions demand that in-wall loudspeakers be installed  

closer than 2' (60cm) from side walls, the proximity of  

the surface can result in a response “bump” between  

Painting the aluminum mesh grille:  

The grille of the RTS Series speaker features an  

even, protective paint. This paint is an ideal primer.  

Preparation:  

1. Separate the parts of the speaker. If the speaker  

is not yet installed, the grille can be removed  

simply by pushing the clamp screws forward  

to push the grille off the speaker from the inside.  

2. Remove the cloth scrim from the inside of the grille.  

3. When painting the speaker frame, use the supplied  

paint masks to carefully mask off the front of the  

speakers to protect the drivers and baffles. You can  

do this while the speaker is already installed in the  

wall (if, for instance, you’re repainting the room).  

If you do not have the paint masks, carefully mask  

the speaker components using paper and masking  

tape. Use a paper clip to remove the grille.  

1. Paint the grille.

0 and 200Hz. This can cause in-wall speakers to sound  

Note: Grilles must be spray painted. Do not use  

a brush and paint. Thick, brushed paint may clog  

the grille holes. Use thin coats of spray paint.  

If you’re using a compressor and spray gun, use  

the finest, most diffused setting. Be careful not  

to fill the holes in the grille with paint.  

“

boomy.” The Wall Distance Switch flattens response  

and tunes out “boominess” without sacrificing deep  

bass response, for more lifelike sound.  

If placement is closer than 2' to a wall: Engage the  

Wall Distance Switch (“Wall Dist.”) to match the <2'  

setting. Recommended speaker distance from side  

walls is 2 feet (60cm).  

2. When the paint is completely dry, press the white  

cloth scrim into place and carefully reinstall the  

grille by fitting it into its recess so that it is just  

resting on the frame. Starting with one corner,  

go around the speaker and push the grille into  

the grille notch a little bit at a time. Be gentle;  

the grille may be easily bent by rough handling.  

You will feel a positive “snap” when the grille  

is fully in place.

RTSC/RTSFX THX Ultra2 Performance  

®

For THX Ultra2 performance, use the cloth grille;  

set the Tweeter Switch (RTSc/RTSFX) to the “normal”  

position; on the RTSFX, set the Wall Distance Switch  

to the greater than two feet (>2) position.  

Painting the frame:  

1

. Apply paint to exposed (unmasked) parts.  

Use two or more thin coats.

. When the paint is completely dry, remove  

the masking material.
