DA6

O u t d o o r U s a g e

The Community DA6 is inherently weather-resistant and may be installed outdoors. To protect the connectors and

wiring from corrosion, apply a small amount of silicon seal to the speaker wires as they enter the Euro connector a er making

the connec ons.

These loudspeakers' ABS plas c cabinets accept almost any type of latex or enamel (oil based) paint. We recommend

applica on of two coats. Note however that pain ng the grille requires spray pain ng.

Follow this procedure to obtain the best results:

1. Remove the grille and carefully remove the grille foam from the grille (the foam cannot be painted). Discard the original

grille foam, it cannot be re-used. Order replacement DA6 grille foam from Community.

2. Clean the grille assembly and the loudspeaker cabinet by rubbing them with a lightly dampened cloth. Do not use

abrasives such as sandpaper or steel wool.

Cau on: NEVER use abrasives, gasoline, kerosene, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), paint thinner, harsh

detergents or other chemicals. These chemicals may permanently damage the nish. Some are also toxic and

highly ammable.

3. Mask the loudspeakers so that the surrounds, cones and center areas will not receive any paint. We advise against using

conven onal masking tape and NEVER use duct tape in this applica on; these kinds of tape generally leave adhesive

residue that can be di cult to remove and that may actually cause damage. Painters tape is best.

er cleaning, apply two or more thin coats of either latex or oil-based paints. Latex paint will adhere be er if an oil-

based primer is used rst. Apply the paint with a roller or brush, or spray it on, except as noted below.

5. Use ONLY spray paint on the grille assembly; using a roller or brush to paint the grille is apt to cause its metal perforated

holes to become clogged with paint. The grille should be painted separately, when it is not in place on the loudspeaker.

ach the replacement grille foam to the grille using an aerosol spray adhesive. For best results it may be necessary to

spray adhesive on both the grille and foam. Spray adhesive very lightly on the foam to prevent clogging the pores. The

replacement foam will be oversized. It must be applied to the grille, then trimmed to size once in place.
