7. Using two hands, carefully insert the speaker into the mounting

opening, pressing evenly around the baffle. Ensure that the RollerLock

tool-less mounts are in their locked, ready-to-mount, position and that

none have accidentally been pushed outside the mounting opening.

As you insert the speaker, the RollerLocks will rotate into the locking

position and will firmly clamp the speaker into the mounting opening.

IMPORTANT: Be sure to insert the speaker straight into

the opening. Do not tilt the speaker while inserting it.

8. Attach the supplied round or square grille. Powerful magnets in the

speaker frame will securely hold the grille in place.

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.

Adjustable Angle Tweeter (C780/C760/C580/C560/C380/C360)
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 (C780/C760)
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.

High-Frequency Level Control (C780/C760/C580/C560)
The High-Frequency Level control lets you fine-tune the speaker’s high-

frequency output to compensate for various acoustical environments.

The control has three settings:
+: Increases high-frequency output. Set the switch to this position

if the room has many features that absorb high-frequency sound energy,

such as thick carpeting, drapes and fabric-covered furniture.
0: Normal high-frequency output. Set the switch to this position for

most installations.
–: Decreases high-frequency output. Set the switch to this position

if the room has many features that reflect high-frequency sound energy,

such as large uncovered windows, bare tile floors and large expanses of

bare walls, or if the speakers are used without grilles.
