RS500i Open-Ceiling Speaker
Technical Information for System Engineers
Applications
Designed for indoor & outdoor back-
ground 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 sensi-
tivity (88.5 dB 1W/1M) make the RS500i
speaker ideal for music & paging appli-
cations in retail, grocery stores, restau-
rants, hotels, casinos, museums, trade
shows & conference rooms. For applica-
tions where additional bass is required,
SoundTube’s RS801i 8” subwoofer pro-
vides bass down to 40 Hz.
BroadBeam ® Wide
Dispersion Technology
More than 3 years in development,
SoundTube’s proprietary BroadBeam ®
technology incorporates a high-fre-
quency 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 ™ docu-
mented). The result is an audio system
with fewer speakers, reduced power
needs, shorter installation time and cost
savings on shipping & labor.

ment or at www.soundtube.com.
Data Acquisition
All performance data acquired at
SoundTube’s Technical Measurement
Center (TMC) are analyzed using a vari-
10,000 Hz 8,000 Hz 4,000 Hz 2,000 Hz
1,000 Hz 500 Hz 250 Hz 125 Hz
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 propri-
etary modeling software. EASE ™ data are
acquired through an automated TEF20/
Outline/EASE ™ interface.
