Soundtube CM500i-BK – 5.25-Inch Ceiling Loudspeaker with Broadbeam Tweeter (Black) Soundtube

The CM500i is a 5.25″, two-way, blind-mount in-ceiling speaker that delivers effective low-end response (55 Hz) and optimal off-axis performance (2-10 kHz, independently verified). SoundTube’s proprietary BroadBeam® waveguide tweeter system delivers consistent high-performance audio across the operating bandwidth. The CM500i speaker design incorporates a low-profile grille, proprietary motor-board, and a six-position tap switch with a transformer bypass position. Mounting hardware is included and features a fast and secure constanttension fixed-wing mounting system.

Features:

• Patented BroadBeam® waveguide technology delivers a consistent dispersion pattern for maximum intelligibility and edge-to-edge coverage (2-10 kHz, independently verified).
• One 5.25″ (133.75 mm) polypropylene woofer and one 1″ (25.4 mm) convex titanium tweeter with FerroFluid cooling mounted to a proprietary castaluminum baffle and heat sink.
• Rapid installation blind-mount, fixed-wing mounting mechanism with constant tension design affixing to ceiling thicknesses ranging from 0.25″ (6.4 mm) to 1.91″ (48.5 mm)
• Easy access six-position selectable tap switch for 25, 70.7, and 100 V applications with transformer bypass position
• Separate tool-free magnetic grille and bezel assembly with integrated safety cable for ease of install and in-field painting
• Steel grille with protective powder-coated finish for lasting durability
• Average sensitivity of 86.5 dB offers high-output capabilities and reduced amplification costs
• UL1480A and UL2043 approved
• High-quality black or white paint finish. Custom paint colors optional
• Included accessories: tile bridge, Euroblock connector, conduit plate, and paint mask
• Optional accessories: color-coded (blue) preconstruction bracket (AC-CM5-PCB) and junction box (AC-CMi-JBOX)

Applications
Designed for in-ceiling background to mid-level SPL applications, the CM500i is ideal for music and paging in courthouses, schools, retail stores, grocery, restaurants, hospitals, hotels, casinos, museums, conference rooms and churches. For applications where additional bass is required, SoundTube’s CM1001d-T 10″subwoofer provides additional low-end response down to 41 Hz.

Patented Technologies
SoundTube Entertainment and the MSE Audio Group constantly develop new technologies which enhance audio product performance. SoundTube Entertainment innovations are protected by multiple U.S. and international patents, which explicitly cover SoundTube dome, enclosure and dispersion technologies. The MSE Audio Group actively defends its patents in order to protect SoundTube resellers and end-users.

BroadBeam® Wide Dispersion Technology
SoundTube’s proprietary BroadBeam technology incorporates a highfrequency waveguide mated to a 1″ convex titanium tweeter. The BroadBeam high-frequency waveguide delivers a consistent dispersion pattern across the upper registers of the frequency spectrum (2-10 kHz, independently verified). The result is an audio system requiring fewer speakers with higher intelligibility, offering reduced power needs, shorter installation time and cost savings on shipping and labor.
