Description
The SoundTube XT550 is a premium
2-way outdoor loudspeaker solution for
installations requiring high-performance
sound in a durable speaker design. The
XT550 is designed for full-range background/foreground music and paging. The
sealed, in-ground enclosure design delivers
true low end response (49 Hz, - 10 dB) and
optimal off axis performance. The XT550
includes theft-resistant mounting hardware
and a weather-proof 5-position tap switch
for 25/70.7/100 Volt applications with transformer bypass position.
Applications
The ultra-wide 360˚ horizontal dispersion pattern makes the XT550 an ideal
choice for theme parks, promenades,
playgrounds, shopping malls, restaurants, resorts, gardens and other outdoor
applications. XT550 speakers come with
in-ground anti-theft brackets and stainlesssteel square-tip screws for increased outdoor security.

Reduce Overall System Costs
SoundTube’s BroadBeam® dispersion technology utilizes an advanced diffuser/tweeter
system to provide maximum dispersion of the
higher frequencies throughout the XT550’s 360º
horizontal by 40º vertical coverage pattern.
Designed specifically for outdoor music &
paging, the XT550 projects even coverage and
smooth response over a larger area than typical
outdoor speakers, with fewer units per install –
saving time and money on speakers, installation
and amplifier power.
Enclosure Technology
XT enclosures are engineered for maximum durability and performance. Unlike other
outdoor speakers, SoundTube incorporates
patented ZeroReflection™ internal shaping
to create the most effective environment for
