HIGH-QUALITY, INDOOR/OUTDOOR
SPEAKER
The Sound Advance
®
SM516 is an extended bandwidth, wide-dispersion loud-
speaker designed for a variety of outdoor and indoor commercial/professional
installations. The SM516’s 5¼” polypropylene cone woofer and 
5
/
8
” polycarbonate
dome tweeter ensure superior-quality sound in foreground music, public address
and paging applications. The SM516’s 90-degree dispersion is extremely consis-
tent throughout its operating bandwidth (see polar response graphs on page 2),
allowing fewer speakers to deliver quality sound over large areas.
The SM516 comes with a  C-shaped mounting bracket that allows the speaker to
be installed in a wide variety of locations. Adjustable bracket knobs allow the
installer to direct the speaker’s output where needed. Connection is made via a
barrier strip terminal with loop-thru. The SM516 is transformer-coupled, with 16W,
8W, 4W 2W taps for both 70V and 100V operation, and 8-ohm bypass. 
The SM516 has a rugged, weather-resistant ABS enclosure and baffle that meet
UL94V-0 fire rating standards and a paintable perforated aluminum grille, and is
available on black (SM516B) and white (SM516W).
