SoundTube CM500i 5.25-Inch Coaxial In‑Ceiling Commercial Speaker

The SoundTube CM500i is a full-bandwidth, coaxial 5.25″ in‑ceiling speaker featuring SoundTube's BroadBeam® waveguide tweeter for consistent, wide coverage. The unit includes a ported backcan and a six-position transformer tap switch for 25/70.7/100V or 8Ω bypass operation, making it well-suited for background music and public announcement systems in commercial spaces.

A blind-mount, fixed-wing installation system supports ceiling thicknesses from 0.25″ to 1.91″. The speaker includes a magnetic steel grille and paint mask for a seamless finish. Certified to UL1480A and UL2043 standards, with CE and RoHS compliance.

With 75W RMS power handling (150W program), 86.5dB sensitivity, and a frequency range down to 55Hz, the CM500i delivers intelligibility and bass response for demanding settings.
