THXTM PERFORMANCE For THXTM performance, use the cloth grille; set the Tweeter Toggle to the "normal" position and the Wall Distance Toggle to the greater than 2 feet (>2) position. [. . . ] If position limitations demand that your loudspeakers be installed closer than 2' (60cm) from side walls, the close proximity of the surface can result in a response "bump" between 50 and 200Hz. " The distance toggle switch flattens response and tunes out "boominess" without sacrificing deep bass response, for more lifelike sound. If the speaker is closer than 2' to a wall, engage the wall distance toggle ("Wall Dist. PAINTING IN-CEILING GRILLES Painting in-ceiling grilles The LCi-RTS100 is supplied with two grilles, one perforated aluminum, the other cloth-covered plastic. The perforated aluminum grille may be painted, while you may dye the cloth grille. If the speaker is not yet installed, the grille can be removed simply by pushing the clamp screws forward to push the grille off the speaker from the inside. When painting the speaker frame, use the supplied paint masks to carefully mask off the front of the speakers to protect the drivers and baffles. You can do this while the speaker is already installed in the ceiling (if, for instance, you're repainting the room). If you do not have the paint masks, carefully mask the speaker components using paper and masking tape. If you're using a compressor and spray gun, use the finest, most diffused setting. When the paint is completely dry, carefully reinstall the grille by fitting it into its recess so that it is just resting on the frame. Starting with one corner, go around the speaker and push the grille into the grille notch a little bit at a time. You will feel a positive "snap" when the grille is fully in place. Important note: The RTS100 comes with an eye-bolt, which must be installed before locating the speaker in a ceiling. Use an appropriate length and weight of wire when installing an RTS100 in a ceiling. Si vous installez un support pré-construction (PB100) et un système d'installation «Stud-Lock Mounting System» (STL100), notez que le caisson du haut-parleur pourrait s'accrocher aux rebords du support pré-construction.
