Description
The IW500i is a 5.25” coax in-wall loud-
speaker that delivers effective low-end
response (55 Hz, -10 dB) and optimal off-
axis performance (up to 10 kHz, EASE™
documented). SoundTube’s proprietary
BroadBeam® waveguide tweeter system deliv-
ers consistent high-performance audio across
the operating bandwidth. The IW500i speaker
design incorporates a low-profile grille and
6-position tap switch with an 8 Ohm bypass.
Mounting hardware is included and features a
fast and secure optimally engineered constant-
tension mounting system. A pre-construction
bracket is offered as an optional accessory.
Applications
Designed for in-wall applications, the
IW500i is ideal for music and messaging in
boardroom, church, corporate A/V, retail,
hotel, hospital and education applications.
For additional bass response down to 41 Hz
(-10 dB), the CM1001d subwoofer may be
used.
