Description
   The CM590i is a high-powered 5.25” 
2-way loudspeaker in a ported in-ceiling 
enclosure design. The CM590i incorporates 
a low-profile grille, proprietary HP5
TM
 
motor-board and 6-position tap switch 
with voice coil/8 Ohm direct.  A tile bridge 
is included and the speaker features a fast-
action SpeedWing
TM
 for easy and secure 
installation.
Applications
   Engineered for high-SPL and effective 
low-end response (69 Hz @ - 10 dB), the 
CM590i delivers consistent high-perfor-
mance music and paging for applications 
requiring longer throw or higher volume 
above the existing ambient noise level.  The 
CM590i is ideal for in-ceiling sound rein-
forcement/PA in applications with high 
ambient noise levels including casinos, 
warehouses, airports, transportation & ship-
ping centers, schools, gyms, arenas and sta-
diums.  For additional bass down to 43 Hz 
(-10 dB) the CM801i subwoofer may be used.
