PREPARATION / WIRING INFO Speaker Wire Installation Tips: What kind to use: We recommend using premium, CL-2 rated, 16 to 14 gauge multistranded wiring for amplifier-to-speaker connections. • If installing these speakers in a drop ceiling, keep in mind that T-bar or “drop ceilings” have thin fiberboard panels which can buzz or vibrate. If needed, reinforce the drop-in panel with wood or particle board. • Some ceilings have pipes, ducts or AC wiring in the area.

PREPARATION / SPEAKER PLACEMENT Use and Placement For each room, think about what kind of listening is going to be going on there most of the time. In a Great Room, you want to be bathed in smooth even coverage through the room. In a Home Theater set-up, you want the breadth and depth of the imaging to be as much like that in a movie theater as you can. If your Russound speakers are going to be your primary listening source in a room, you need to consider some other factors to ensure proper imaging.

PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION Pre-wire or Pre-construction Locate all obstructions (AC wiring, plumbing, duct work, studs, and joists). Route the speaker wire to the speaker location avoiding all obstacles. Watch out for closeness to AC wiring. Russound offers Speaker Rough-In Brackets that can be fastened to the adjacent studs. Once the dry wall is installed, the opening is cut out. There are holes molded into the bracket for speaker wire tie-off to keep the wire from being lost during construction.

PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION Additional Tips / Considerations • Try to run speaker wires after AC wiring is in so you can separate the wires, avoiding induced noise caused by close parallel positioning of the two wire types. • Secure speaker wires in place against a stud along vertical runs. Do not pierce the wire insulation. Allow a bit of slack for expansion of building materials. • Route horizontal wire runs through holes drilled in studs at roughly equal heights.

INSTALLATION 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.

TESTS AND ADJUSTMENTS Listening Test Tweeter Adjustment It’s a good idea to test everything at this point. The IC-630 features a tweeter control that enables you to adjust the high frequency performance up or down in 3 dB steps - to help compensate for room acoustics. Also - in those models where the tweeters pivot they should be aimed toward the intended listener. Before installing the grille, gently press on the outside of the tweeter ring as shown to aim as you wish. 1.
