Open-Ceiling Speaker
Technical Information for System Engineers

Applications
Designed for indoor & outdoor background to mid-level SPL applications,
the RS500i includes a single-point
mounting system for rapid open-ceiling
installations. The 100° broad dispersion
pattern (55 Hz – 10 kHz) and high sensitivity (88.5 dB 1W/1M) make the RS500i
speaker ideal for music & paging applications in retail, grocery stores, restaurants, hotels, casinos, museums, trade
shows & conference rooms. For applications where additional bass is required,
SoundTube’s RS801i 8” subwoofer provides bass down to 40 Hz.

BroadBeam® Wide
Dispersion Technology
More than 3 years in development,
SoundTube’s proprietary BroadBeam®
technology incorporates a high-frequency waveguide mated to a 1” convex
aluminum tweeter. The BroadBeam®
high-frequency waveguide delivers a
consistent 100° dispersion pattern across
the upper registers of the frequency
spectrum (up to 10 kHz, EASE™ documented). The result is an audio system
with fewer speakers, reduced power

needs, shorter installation time and cost
savings on shipping & labor.

Patented SoundTube
Technologies
SoundTube Entertainment is constantly
developing new technologies that enhance
audio product performance. SoundTube
Entertainment innovations are protected
by multiple U.S. & international patents,
which explicitly cover SoundTube
dispersion, enclosure & dome technologies. SoundTube Entertainment actively
defends its patents in order to protect
SoundTube resellers and end users.

Technical Data and
Specification Tools
Technical Data

SoundTube Entertainment strives to
provide complete and effective technical information and data to dealers,
engineers and designers. All data are
available from SoundTube Entertainment or at www.soundtube.com.
Data Acquisition

All performance data acquired at
SoundTube’s Technical Measurement
Center (TMC) are analyzed using a vari-

ety of standard measurement techniques,
including Measured Length Sequence
(MLS) and Time Delay Spectrometry
(TDS). Performance, development and
data acquisition tools include: Gold Line
TEF 20, CLIO, LMS, LEAP, and proprietary modeling software. EASE™ data are
acquired through an automated TEF20/
Outline/EASE™ interface.
EASE™ Data – 3-D polar plots.
SoundTubeSPEC™ – Proprietary

SoundTube speaker placement software.
