Description
The IW500i is a 5.25” coax in-wall loudspeaker that delivers effective low-end
response (55 Hz, -10 dB) and optimal offaxis performance (up to 10 kHz, EASE™
documented). SoundTube’s proprietary
BroadBeam® waveguide tweeter system delivers 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 constanttension 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.

Technical Data and
Specification Tools
Technical Data
SoundTube Entertainment strives to
provide complete and effective technical information and data to dealers,
engineers and designers. All data are
available from SoundTube Entertainment or at www.soundtube.com and
includes EASE™ Data – 3-D polar plots
and SoundTubeSPEC™ – Proprietary
SoundTube speaker placement software.
Independent Data Acquisition &
Verification
All data for SoundTube speakers is independently collected from and verified by
NWAA Labs (www.nwaalabs.com) using
their proprietary MACH testing system.
All data is collected and analysed according to ASTM, ISO and AES standards using
EASERA, TEF and MLSSA. Full balloon
data including both phase and magnitude
is compiled into a variety of formats including EASE 4.x, GLL and CLF.
Architectural Specifications
The loudspeaker shall consist of a 133
mm (5.25 in) low-frequency transducer and
a 25 mm (1 in) high-frequency transducer
with a frequency-dividing network installed
to an infinite baffle. The low-frequency
transducer shall have a polypropylene cone
with a butyl rubber surround. The high-frequency transducer shall be constructed of
aluminum with a proprietary BroadBeam®
waveguide. The low-frequency voice coil
diameter shall be 25.4 mm (1 in).
Performance specifications of a typical
production unit shall be as follows: Useable
frequency response shall extend from 55
Hz – 22 kHz (-10 dB, half space, no external equalization). Measured sensitivity
(2.83 Volt, 1 meter) shall be at least 88 dB.
The speaker shall have a nominal impedance of 8 Ohms and shall be available for
25/70.7/100 Volt modes with voice coil/8
Ohm direct. The frequency-dividing network shall have a crossover frequency of 3
kHz with slopes of 12 dB per octave (second
order) for both low and high-pass filters.
Rated power capacity shall be at least 75
Watts continuous power (RMS) and conform to EIA-426-B testing. Maximum continuous output at 1 meter shall be 107 dB.
Installation for the IW500i shall be by
4-screw, optimally engineered constanttension mounting assembly. The external
wiring input connector shall be a spring
terminal for 8 Ohm or distributed systems
and shall accept from 10 – 22 gauge wire.
The grille shall be constructed of powder-coated steel for lasting performance
and attach via pressure fit directly to the
ABS baffle.
The system shall be the SoundTube
IW500i with mounting hardware for both
low & high impedance applications.
