The Russound IC-610 is a 6.5-inch, two-way in-ceiling loudspeaker designed as an all-purpose choice for multiroom music. A polypropylene cone woofer handles the low and midrange frequencies while a 0.75-inch silk dome tweeter, which pivots to direct high frequencies toward the listening area, keeps vocals and detail clear even when the speaker cannot be placed ideally.
The woofer basket and baffle are formed as a single piece for added rigidity and more efficient bass output. Installation is straightforward thanks to Russound's pin-cushion EasyGrip design, which lets the installer hold the speaker and tighten it in place with one hand. The edgeless grilles are paintable and attach with strong neodymium magnets, so they sit flush and stay put. With 88 dB sensitivity and an 8-ohm load, the IC-610 is an easy match for multiroom controllers and streaming amplifiers such as the MCA-66, SMZ8 or MBX-AMP.
