Russound Architectural Series of In-Wall Loudspeakers

Listening Test 

 

It’s a good idea to test everything at this point. 

1. 

Turn on your stereo system or music source. Make sure that the 

volume control is turned down and that the balance control is set 

to center. 

2. 

Gently turn up the volume. You should hear music coming out of your 

new Russound Speakers! (If you don’t, refer to the troubleshooting 

guide.) 

3. 

Now rotate the stereo’s balance control all the way to the left. Sound 

should only come out of your left speaker. If it comes out of the right 

speaker, skip to Step 5. 

4. 

Rotate the balance control all the way to the right. Sound should only 

come out of the right speaker. 

5. 

If sound comes from the right speaker when the stereo’s balance 

control is turned to the left, you’ll need to change the connections 

on the back of the amplifier/receiver. Note: Turn off the amplifier. 

Swap the wires attached to the left and right speaker terminals before 

turning the amplifier back on. Make sure to keep the (+) and (-) the 

same for left and right speakers.

Installation 

 

1. Connect the speaker wire to the speaker terminals: 

• 

Leave about 2’ (60 cm) of wire extending through the ceiling or wall 

cutout. 

• 

Pull the conductors apart so the last two inches are separated and  

remove 1/2” (13 mm) of insulation from the end of each conductor. 

• 

Twist the strands in each conductor into tight spirals. 

• 

Attach the speaker wires to the red and black speaker terminals. 

Connect the Positive (+) conductor to the Red terminal and the 

Negative (-) conductor to the Black terminal. Make sure that no stray 
strands of wire are touching the other conductor or terminal. 

Center the speaker in the cut out. The IW-620 (as well as the IC-20, IC-820 and 
IC-630 models) features the *patented SwiftLock™ by Swarm design. For the  
IW-620, position the speaker in the opening and hold it in place, then press 
each of the four SwiftLock™ installation buttons. You will hear a resounding 
“click” letting you know the speaker is securely mounted in place. 

3. Attach the magnetic grille.
