Russound ic-820 8 Inch 2-way In-ceiling Speaker Pair

Product Description

The RUSSOUND ic-820 is an 8-inch, 2-way in-ceiling speaker sold as a pair, designed for residential audio installations in larger rooms and spaces with high ceilings. Each speaker features an 8-inch injection-molded polypropylene cone woofer mounted in a one-piece baffle and woofer basket, creating a rigid housing that supports deep, detailed bass response. A 1-inch pivoting tweeter allows the technician to aim the high-frequency driver directly at the primary listening zone. The magnetic edgeless grilles are paintable to match the ceiling surface. These speakers are typically installed by custom integrators, low-voltage contractors, or experienced A/V technicians.

The ic-820 is suited for whole-home audio distribution in residential settings where larger room dimensions or elevated ceiling heights require greater low-frequency output and wider dispersion. Common install scenarios include living rooms, great rooms, open-concept spaces, and finished basements. The pivoting tweeter design addresses off-axis listening positions common in these environments. The SwiftLock mounting system simplifies rough-in and trim-out, reducing installation time per speaker location. Each unit in the pair is installed independently at its designated ceiling cut-out location.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a low-voltage contractor or licensed A/V integrator. De-energize all speaker-level and line-level wiring circuits before beginning the ceiling cut-out or making connections. Follow local building codes and NEC low-voltage wiring requirements for in-wall and in-ceiling speaker cable routing. Do not paint the grille fabric or driver components directly; remove the grille before painting the grille frame if a color match is required.
