Description

  The RS500i is a 5.25” 2-way ported 

speaker with an open-ceiling enclosure 

design that delivers effective low-end 

response (55 Hz) and optimal off-axis per-

formance (105° dispersion up to 10 kHz, 

EASE

™

 documented). SoundTube’s pro-

prietary BroadBeam

®

 waveguide tweeter 

system delivers consistent high-perfor-

mance audio coverage across the operating 

bandwidth. The RS500i speaker design 

incorporates a low-profile grille, propri-

etary M5 motor-board and a 6-position 

tap switch with voice coil/8 Ohm direct. 

Hanging hardware is included & features 

SpeedClamp

™

 self-locking wire grip for 

fast, easy & secure installation.
