Architectural Specifications
The loudspeaker shall consist of a 133
mm (5.25 in) low-frequency transducer
and a 25 mm (1 in) high-frequency
transducer with a frequency-dividing
network installed in a ported enclosure.
The low-frequency voice coil diameter
shall be 25 mm (1 in).
Performance specifications of a typical
production unit shall be as follows: Use-
able frequency response shall extend
from 69 Hz – 22 kHz (-10 dB, half space,
independently verified). Measured sen-
sitivity (2.83-volt input, 1 meter) shall
be at least 87 dB. The speaker shall have
a nominal impedance of 8 ohms and
shall be available for 25/70.7/100-volt
modes with transformer bypass. The
frequency-dividing network shall have
a crossover frequency of 3 kHz with a
slope of 12 dB per octave (second order)
for the high-pass filter. Rated power
capacity shall be at least 80 watts contin-
uous (RMS), and conforms to EIA-426-B
testing. Maximum continuous output at
1 meter shall be 106 dB.
The low-frequency transducer shall have
a polypropylene cone with butyl rubber
surround. The high-frequency trans-
ducer shall be constructed of titanium
material and incorporate a high-SPL
horn.
Installation for the speaker shall be
by proprietary and corrosion-resistant
captured-ball mounting system. A
tool-free captured ball mounting system
with a locking zinc alloy lever and cast-
aluminum ball shall be used. For safety
redundancy, a secondary safety cable
shall be included and attached to the
speaker chassis via ¼ - 20 UNC bolt. The
external wiring input connector shall be
a four-pin, 5.08 mm Euroblock for 8 ohm
or distributed systems and shall accept
from 10 – 22-gauge wire.The system
shall be for indoor/outdoor applications
and shall have a weather-resistant termi-
nal boot covering all wire connectors.
The enclosure shall be constructed of
injection-molded, glass-reinforced ABS.
The grille shall be constructed of iridite-
plated, powder-coated aluminum for
lasting performance. Overall cabinet
dimensions shall be no more than 316.9
mm (12.48 in) in height by 216.6 mm
(8.53 in) in width by 305.1 mm (12.01 in)
in depth (including SM bracket). The
unit shall include mounting hardware,
safety cable, Euroblock connector and
terminal weather boot.
The system shall be the SoundTube
SM590i with mounting hardware for
both low- and high-impedance applica-
tions.

SM590i
Surface-Mount Speaker
Technical Information for System Engineers
consistent high-performance music and
paging for applications requiring lon-
ger throw or higher volume above the
existing ambient noise level. The SM590i
is ideal for suface-mount sound rein-
forcement/PA in applications with high
ambient noise levels including casinos,
warehouses, airports, transportation and
shipping centers, schools, gyms, arenas
and stadiums. For applications where
additional bass is required, SoundTube’s
RS1001i-II-T and SM1001p subwoofers
provide bass down to 41 Hz (-10 dB).
