7. Insert the speaker straight into the mounting opening. Tighten the
speaker clamp screws on the front of the speaker baffle. The speaker
clamps will automatically rotate into position and begin clamping the
speaker.
• When you notice resistance on the screws the speaker has been
clamped successfully.
IMPORTANT: Always use low-torque settings. NEVER
over-tighten the clamp screws

8. Attach the supplied round or square grille. Powerful magnets in the
speaker frame will securely hold the grille in place.
Attach Supplied Grille
Painting the Grille
Revel architectural loudspeaker grilles can be painted to match any
décor. If you wish to change the grille’s color, its satin finish will function
as a primer coat. For the best results follow this procedure:
1. Gently remove the scrim cloth from the back side of the grille before
painting.
2. Use a high-quality spray paint and apply a thin coat of color. Ensure
that the grille perforations remain free of paint. Filling them with
paint will diminish the speaker’s sound quality. If any perforations are
plugged, use compressed air to blow the paint out of the perforations.
Note: If you find any grille perforations that are plugged with paint
after the paint has dried, carefully use a straight pin or sewing
needle to remove the paint.
3. We have included round and rectangular replacement scrim cloths.
After the paint has dried, apply a light coat of spray adhesive to
the inside of the perforated grille and attach a new scrim cloth.
IMPORTANT: Never spray adhesive on the cloth. The square scrim
cloth has pre-attached foam pads that help prevent the grille from
vibrating against the ceiling.

Adjustable Angle Tweeter (C783/C763/C583/C563/C383/C363)
Most Revel in-ceiling speaker models allow you to adjust the angle of
the tweeter. To change the angle, press on the tweeter’s outer ring as
shown in the illustration below. Be careful not to touch the tweeter
diaphragm or suspension.
Boundary Compensation Control (C783/C763)
The Boundary Compensation control reduces the speaker’s bass output
level to compensate for the greater reflection of bass energy when the
speaker is placed near a wall.
When possible, avoid mounting the speaker within 2 ft (0.6m) of a
wall. If such placement is unavoidable, set the Boundary Compensation
control to the “On” position.
