The CM500i is a 5.25-inch, two-way, blind-mount in-ceiling speaker that delivers effective low-end response (55 Hz) and optimal off-axis performance (2 to 10 kHz, independently verified). SoundTube’s proprietary BroadBeam® waveguide tweeter system delivers consistent high-performance audio across the operating bandwidth. The CM500i speaker design incorporates a low-profile grille, proprietary motor-board, and a six-position tap switch with transformer bypass position. Mounting hardware is included and features a fast and secure constant-tension, fixed-wing mounting system.
