paint colors optional.
Description
The IW500b is a 5.25” coax in-wall loudspeaker that delivers effective low-end
response (69 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 IW500b 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 and an integrated backcan for maximum efficiency
and applications where UL approval is
required. A pre-construction bracket is
offered as an optional accessory.
Applications
Designed for in-wall applications, the
IW500b is ideal for music and messaging
in boardroom, church, corporate A/V 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
and Verification
All data for SoundTube speakers are
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) highfrequency transducer with a frequencydividing network installed in a sealed
enclosure. 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 69 Hz – 22 kHz (-10
dB, half space, no external equalization). Measured sensitivity (2.83 Volt,
1 meter) shall be at least 87.5 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 frequencydividing 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 106.5 dB.
Installation for the IW500b shall be
by 4-screw, constant-tension optimally
engineered mounting assembly. The
external wiring input connector shall
be by hard wired leads for 8 Ohm or
distributed systems.
The grille shall be constructed of
powder-coated steel for lasting performance and attach via pressure fit
directly to the ABS bezel. The backcan
shall be constructed of drawn steel.
The system shall be the SoundTube
IW500b with mounting hardware for
both low & high impedance applications.
