FINAL ASSEMBLY
1. If you haven’t done so already during painting, remove the perforat-
ed grilles from both Russound Speakers. Use the clamp (dog-ear) to
push the grille out from the back side.
2. Center the speaker in the cut-out hole and tighten the screws until
the clamps are drawn up snugly from behind, clamping the speaker
in place. Try to tighten each screw equally but do not over tighten.
3. For models SP503.1, SP522.1 and SP523.1, insert the Russound
speaker grille by gently pressing it into place. Now insert grill and
trim into the can by pushing the black trim ring with the grill in-first.
It will be a tight fit, so make sure it is going in straight.
In most installations, the grilles will fit tightly without causing vibration.
If any audible vibration does occur, or if your Russound speakers are
ceiling mounted, use the pre-cut lengths of special damping/adhesive
material. Remove the perforated grille, unwrap four of the damping
strips and affix them to the four outer corners of the inner speaker sur-
face. Then replace the grille.
A QUICK LISTENING TEST
It’s a good idea to test everything at this point.
1. Turn on your stereo system. Make sure that the VOLUME control is
turned down and that the BALANCE control is set to center.
2. Activate a musical source such as FM or CD player.
3. Gently turn up the volume. You should hear music coming out of
your new Russound In-Wall Speakers! (If you don’t, refer to the trou-
bleshooting guide below.)
4. Now rotate the stereo’s BALANCE control all the way to the LEFT.
Sound should only come out of your left in-wall speaker. If it comes
out of the RIGHT speaker, skip to Step 6.
5. Rotate the BALANCE control all the way to the RIGHT. Sound should
only come out of the right speaker.
6. 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.
* FIRST TURN OFF THE AMPLIFIER!
* Swap the wires attached to the left and right speaker terminals.
A QUICK TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Before returning your Russound Speakers for service, it is a good idea to
check out these simple remedies first.
No sound from either speaker:
1. Incorrect source selected on receiver or preamplifier.
2. Mute button pressed on receiver.
3. Wrong speaker output selected; many receivers have an “A” and “B”
speaker switch. Make sure it’s in the right position.
4. In-Wall Volume control not turned up or wired incorrectly.
5. If using a “speaker selector”, room/station not turned on or improp-
erly connected.
No sound from one speaker:
1. Un-secure connection at either the speaker or amplifier-double-
check them.
2. Balance control turned all the way left or right-return it to center.
3. Bad connecting cable between sound source and amplifier - try a
new cable.
4. Defective speaker - contact your Russound dealer or call our cus-
tomer tech department at 603.659.5170.
• Any other problems not listed, discuss with your dealer or call
Russound.
