Description
  The SM590i is a high-powered 5.25”  
2-way horn-loaded loudspeaker in a ported 
surface-mount enclosure design. The SM590i 
incorporates a low-profile grille, proprietary 
HP5
TM
 motor-board and 6-position tap 
switch with voice coil/8 Ohm direct.  Hang-
ing hardware is included and features a 
fast-action Speed-Lever
TM
 for easy and secure 
installation with a proprietary captured ball 
mounting system.  Optional accessories 
include a pole mount adaptor, a bent shaft 
and a u-bracket. 
 
Applications
  Engineered for high-SPL and effective 
low-end response (61 Hz @ - 10 dB), the 
SM590i delivers consistent high-perfor-
mance music and paging for applications 
requiring longer throw or higher volume 
above the existing ambient noise level.  
The SM590i is ideal for suface-mount 
sound reinforcement/PA in applications 
with high ambient noise levels including 
casinos, warehouses, airports, transporta-
