The UIW RCS II Loudspeakers are easily paintable and are shipped with
plastic paint masks (which should be retained even if you initially decide not
to paint the speakers). The grille and frame must be painted separately, and
for best results, prior to installation.
For the grille, spray painting is the recommended method. Follow the paint
manufacturer’s directions for ventilation and correct spraying procedure. Be
very careful not to clog the speaker grille with too heavy a coat of paint as
this will impair system sonic performance.
For the frame, spray painting is preferred but brush or roller will also give
good results. The supplied frame masks should be put in place to protect the
speaker components for whichever method you choose.
Painting Your UIW RCS II Loudspeakers
The RCS II is designed to be installed inside the ceiling of your home quick-
ly and easily. Because of its superb sonic performance, installation location
within your room is very flexible. Your room is not like anyone else’s room,
and because of its unique size and shape will have its own requirements
for optimal sonic performance. We recommend that you consult with the
Custom Installation Specialist at your Definitive Technology dealer regarding
your special needs or if you are at all uncertain about the best and safest way
to install your RCS II.
• Installation of this product must follow all local and state building code
requirements. We strongly recommend using a qualified, professional
installer who is knowledgeable of local building codes.
• The UIW RCS II is designed for mounting inline or at 90 degrees
to 16" on-center ceiling joists.
• If ceiling joists are wider than 16" apart, you will need to shim (or frame in
the enclosure) with appropriate framing material.
• Before starting construction or modification of your ceiling, you should
familiarize yourself with any applicable local fire and building codes.
• Make sure the locations you select do not conceal studs, electrical wiring
or plumbing. Prior to installation, hold the speaker in your chosen location
to make sure it meets the clearance requirements around obstacles such as
studs, corners, beams,
lighting fixtures and door/window frames.
