The Russound IC-820 is an 8-inch, two-way in-ceiling speaker built for spaces that need more bass and output than a 6.5-inch model can deliver: great rooms, open kitchens, rooms with tall ceilings, and family rooms that double as TV areas. Each speaker uses an injection-molded polypropylene woofer driven by a 17 oz magnet, with a 1-inch silk tweeter that pivots so high frequencies can be steered toward seating.
Russound rates the IC-820 at 42 Hz to 20 kHz with 92 dB sensitivity, so it plays loudly on modest amplifier power while still accepting up to 120 watts. A one-piece baffle and woofer basket keeps the structure rigid for cleaner low end.
SwiftLock tool-less dogs secure the speaker to drywall quickly, and the edgeless grilles attach with neodymium magnets and can be painted to disappear into the ceiling. A cut-out template ships in the box. Because it is voiced alongside the IC-620 and IW-620, installers can use the 8-inch model in the big rooms and the 6.5-inch models elsewhere without a mismatch in sound. Sold as a pair.

Ideal Applications
Great rooms, open-plan kitchens and living areas, high ceilings, basements and media spaces where a fuller low end is wanted from a flush-mount speaker.
Compatibility
An 8-ohm passive speaker: it needs an amplifier or a multi-room controller/amplifier channel (sold separately). Russound designs the IC-620, IC-620T, IC-820, IC-820T and IW-620 as an acoustically matched family, so models can be mixed throughout a home.
