10 P AINTING THE GRILLE AND FRAME Each StageFr ont FX and LCR frame and grille may be painted without the need for primer . For best results, use a spray gun or airless sprayer , thin the paint to prevent clogging of the grille holes, and apply several light coats instead of one heavy one.

12 OPERA TION LISTENING A T HIGHER VOLUMES Achieving a reasonable volume of sound in a large r oom requir es more amplifier power than it does in a small room. It is possible to turn the volume up so high that the amplifier runs out of power . This creates “clipping” distortion, which will make treble sound very harsh and unmusical.
