PAINTING THE OS3
The enclosure, the brackets, and the grilles of the OS3 can all be painted to
match the surroundings. Because we want you to preserve the acoustic quali-
ties of the grille, please paint the grille according to the grille painting instruc-
tions. Make sure you pick a paint that is appropriate for the mounting location.
There are interior and exterior varieties, and even paint for marine uses. If you
are not sure what paint to use, consult a paint store professional or a painter.
TOOLS REQUIRED
• A spray can of primer paint (Krylon Sandable Spray Primer #1318)
• The correct paint for the surroundings (oil or water based paint is fine)
• A paint brush or applicator if the paint is not in a spray can.
• A paper clip or a corkscrew (for removing the grille)
• Masking tape
• 2 paint masks (supplied)
• A damp cloth and a dry cloth
PREPARING TO PAINT
1. Separate the parts of the speaker. You should remove the brackets and the
bracket knobs. Remove the grille by hooking it with a bent paper clip or the tip
of a corkscrew and pulling it away from the cabinet (See Figure 8).
