NEW CONSTRUCTION
PAINTING THE SPEAKER
FRAME AND GRILLE
Performance Integrator loud-
speakers can be painted to
match any décor. 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 baf-
fle from paint residue. Use a
high-quality spray paint, and
apply a thin coat of color.
Be certain the grille perfora-
tions 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.
You will need to purchase the correct rough-in frame kit for your model:

Detailed installation instructions are supplied with the rough-in kit.
TROUBLESHOOTING
IF THERE IS NO
SOUND FROM ANY
OF THE SPEAKERS:
• Check that receiver/amplifier
is on and a source is playing.
• Check all wires and connec-
tions between receiver/ampli-
fier and speakers. Make sure
all wires are connected. Make
sure none of the speaker wires
are frayed, cut, punctured or
touching each other.
• Review proper operation of
your receiver/amplifier.
IF THERE IS NO
SOUND COMING
FROM ONE SPEAKER:
• Check the “Balance” control
on your receiver/amplifier.
• Check all wires and connec-
tions between receiver/ampli-
fier and speakers. Make sure
all wires are connected. Make
sure none of the speaker wires
are frayed, cut, punctured or
touching each other.
IF THERE IS LOW (OR
NO) BASS OUTPUT:
• Make sure the connections
to the left and right “Speaker
Inputs” have the correct polar-
ity (+ and –).
• Consider adding a powered
subwoofer to your system.
• In Dolby Digital or DTS modes,
make sure your receiver/
processor is correctly config-
ured. When using a subwoofer,
make sure the subwoofer
output of the receiver/ proces-
sor has been enabled. If no

owner’s manual for futher
information on correct speaker
configuration in Dolby Digital,
DTS and other surround sound
modes.

tions between receiver/ampli-
fier and speakers. Make sure
all wires are connected. Make
sure none of the speaker wires
are frayed, cut , punctured or
touching each other.
• If more than one pair of main
