Description

The IW500i is a 5.25” coax in-wall loud- speaker that delivers effective low-end response (55 Hz, -10 dB) and optimal off- axis performance (up to 10 kHz, EASE™ documented). SoundTube’s proprietary BroadBeam® waveguide tweeter system deliv- ers consistent high-performance audio across the operating bandwidth. The IW500i speaker design incorporates a low-profile grille and

6-position tap switch with an 8 Ohm bypass. Mounting hardware is included and features a fast and secure optimally engineered constant- tension mounting system. A pre-construction bracket is offered as an optional accessory.

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.

IW500i specifications

The Phase Technology IW500i is a high-performance in-wall speaker designed to deliver exceptional audio quality while seamlessly integrating into residential and commercial spaces. Engineered for discerning audiophiles and casual listeners alike, it combines innovative technologies with thoughtful features to create an immersive listening experience.

One of the standout features of the IW500i is its advanced driver configuration. It includes a 6.5-inch aluminum woofer, which provides powerful low-frequency response and a 1-inch titanium dome tweeter for crisp, clear highs. This dynamic pairing ensures a balanced sound profile, suitable for various music genres and home theater applications. The use of aluminum in the woofer not only enhances durability but also contributes to improved sound efficiency, reducing distortion even at higher volumes.

The IW500i is designed with Phase Technology's proprietary AirFlex™ technology, which maximizes the speaker's performance by controlling airflow within the enclosure. This innovative system minimizes turbulence and resonance, resulting in clearer sound reproduction across the frequency spectrum. Additionally, the speaker features a uniquely designed WaveGuide™ that disperses sound evenly throughout the listening space, enabling a more immersive experience without dead spots.

Installation is made convenient with the IW500i's easy-to-use mounting system. The speaker is equipped with durable dog-ear brackets that securely fasten the unit to the wall, ensuring stability and longevity. With a paintable grille, users can customize the speaker to match their décor, allowing for seamless integration into any environment.

To further enhance performance, the IW500i also incorporates a high-quality crossover network. This ensures that the right frequencies are directed to the appropriate drivers, optimizing the overall sound clarity and detail. The crossover is designed to handle higher power levels, making the IW500i suitable for use with a wide range of amplifiers, lending versatility to any audio setup.

The IW500i also prioritizes environmental sustainability, constructed from eco-friendly materials that reduce its carbon footprint. This commitment to sustainability, paired with exceptional sound quality and aesthetic flexibility, makes the Phase Technology IW500i a premium choice for those seeking top-tier in-wall audio solutions. Whether for a cozy home theater or an expansive living room, the IW500i promises to elevate any listening experience to new heights.
