JBL AEC65 User Manual - Painting The Speaker
The speakers feature unique swivel mounts for the tweeters that enable you to aim the
very directional high frequencies toward the listening position, at ear-level height. Before
installing the speaker grille, gently press on the outer edge of the tweeter mount to adjust
the position of the tweeter. The tweeter will not swivel more than 15 degrees in any
direction; do not attempt to force it to move further. You may also rotate the tweeter to
orient the JBL logo as desired.
The dual tweeters of speaker, Cat. No. AEM65, may be swiveled independently.
Optimum imaging will be obtained by aiming the tweeters to the left and right of the
listening position, at ear-level height, if your application permits.
Leviton Architectural Edition powered by JBL loudspeakers can be
painted to match any decor. If you wish to change their 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 acoustical foam blanket from the grille before
painting. Reattach the blanket after the paint has dried.
