Frequently Asked Questions

The Symfonisk picture frame speaker is available in most IKEA stores around the world and in the IKEA online store. We do not sell the IKEA speakers, only printed covers to wrap the front panel and change the speaker image to your taste.

No, installing the cover will not damage the speaker and can always be reversed. No tools are required, just simply pull off the original cover and gently place the Unisk cover.

You can install the cover in less than 5 minutes by following the 6 steps in the manual provided with the cover:

1 Remove the front panel from the picture frame speaker.
2 Place your custom printed cover with the printed side down on a flat surface. Then center the front panel on the cover.
3 Turn the small corner flaps of the cover inwards and fasten them to the corner pins of the front panel.
4 Fold the short sides of the cover and fasten them on the three pins at the short sides.
5 Fold the long sides of the cover and fasten them on the three pins at the long sides.
6 Press the front panel back into the Symfonisk speaker.

We do not supply a front panel with our custom printed covers since IKEA includes the panel with the Symfonisk picture frame speaker. It would be a wasteful to create an extra panel with the custom printed cover, and this way we can keep both the price and shipping costs low.

We have never encountered a Custom Printed Cover with an image light enough to show the Original print of the black IKEA Symfonisk front panel.
There might some colours showing in case a light coloured Custom Printed Cover is mounted on one of the vividly coloured IKEA replacement fronts.

Our Custom Printed Covers are designed with specialised fabric to minimise the obstruction of the sound. Any object between the listener’s ears and the smart speaker can alter the sound quality, but we feel our covers are in the sweet spot between sound clarity and visual aesthetics.The breathable fabric is only slightly opaque allowing sound to pass through and also for the print to be visible.

The Sonos app allows you to tune the sound with the TruePlay settings to perfect the sound quality to your liking after installing the cover.

Optionally the fabric can be removed from the original front panel before placing the Custom Printed Cover. Peel the glued down fabric from the panel by starting from the back edges.

Ideally, your image should have a size of at least 4551 x 3276 pixels in the JPG or PNG file format. Make sure the main subject of the image isn’t close to edges: the image will be cropped slightly as the print will partly fold around the side of the panel.
