Painting the AD-S82(H) Loudspeaker
The loudspeaker enclosure and grill can be painted to match any decor, provided the following precautions are observed. The
optional ID-8 IntelliDock and YM-8 yoke mount can also be painted. The cabinet is made of high impact polystyrene which requires
controlled painting procedures in order to obtain good results when painting. Use a paint “system” designed for polypropylene from
any reputable paint supplier.
1- Remove the grill.
2- If painting mount and loudspeaker as a unit: Attach the ID-8 or YM-8 so that the loudspeaker and mount can be painted as a
unit.
3- If painting mount and loudspeaker separately: Mask the loudspeaker’s input connector and the ID-8’s interior.
4- Mask the woofer, tweeter, and port being certain not to apply tape directly to the drivers. Alternatively, the inside of the grill can
be completely masked and set in place on the loudspeaker enclosure for painting.
5- Wash the components to be painted with a mild soap and hot water. Be careful not to get water on or into either of the drivers or
the input connections. Rinse with hot water. Allow to dry thoroughly.
6- Scuff-sand the components to be painted using red Scotchbrite® pad or 320 - 400 grit sandpaper.
7- Using compressed air, remove all dust from the components to be painted. Do not blow compressed air directly into either driver.
8- Clean the components to be painted.
9- Using a clean, lint-free, white cloth, wipe the components to be painted with suitable prep solution.
10- Apply adhesion promoter.
11- Apply primer topcoat.
12- Apply paint.
13- Allow to dry for at least 8 hours before handling.
