RS800i

Open-Ceiling Speaker

Technical Information for System Engineers

Applications

Designed for indoor & outdoor back- ground to foreground SPL applications, the RS800i includes a single point mounting system for rapid open-ceiling installations. The 100° broad dispersion pattern (1 kHz – 10 kHz, EASEdocumented), true low-end response (48 Hz, -10 dB) and high sensitivity (92.5 dB 1W/1M) make the RS800i ideal for big box stores, fitness centers, sports bars, multi-purpose rooms, churches, airports, theme parks, ball- rooms, convention centers, casinos and other open-ceiling applications requir- ing background to foreground SPL. For applications where additional bass is required, SoundTube’s RS801i 8” subwoofer provides bass down to 40 Hz.

BroadBeam11® Wide

Dispersion Technology

More than 3 years in development, SoundTube’s proprietary BroadBeam11® technology incorporates a high-frequency waveguide mated to a 1” convex aluminum tweeter. The BroadBeam11® high-frequency waveguide delivers a consistentdispersion

pattern across the upper registers of the fre- quency spectrum (up to 10 kHz, EASEdoc- umented). The result is an audio system with fewer speakers, reduced power needs, shorter installation time and cost savings on shipping & labor.
