In-Wall Speaker
IW500i
Technical Information for System Engineers
Key Features
• BroadBeam® waveguide technology
delivers a consistent dispersion pattern up
to 10 kHz for maximum coverage area per
speaker (EASE™ documented).
• One 133 mm (5.25 in) polypropylene
woofer and one 25 mm (1 in) convex alu-
minum tweeter with FerroFluid cooling
mounted to an M5 Motorboard.
• 107 dB Max. SPL offers high output capa-
bilities and reduced amplification costs.
Specifications: IW500i
• Rapid installation blind-mount system for
quick and secure installation.
System Type
5.25" Coax, in wall, sealed (33 Watt transformer for
25/70.7/100 Volt or 8 Ohm direct)
8 ohm
• Easy-access 6-position tap switch for 25,
70.7 & 100 Volt applications with voice coil/8
Ohm direct simplifies ordering & inventory
tracking.

Applications
Designed for in-wall applications, the
IW500i is ideal for music and messaging in
boardroom, church, corporate A/V, retail,
hotel, hospital and education applications.
For additional bass response down to 41 Hz
(-10 dB), the CM1001d subwoofer may be
used.
