Description
The CM590i is a high-powered 5.25”
2-way loudspeaker in a ported in-ceiling
enclosure design. The CM590i incorporates
a low-profile grille, proprietary HP5
TM
motor-board and 6-position tap switch
with voice coil/8 Ohm direct. A tile bridge
is included and the speaker features a fast-
action SpeedWing
TM
for easy and secure
installation.
Applications
Engineered for high-SPL and effective
low-end response (69 Hz @ - 10 dB), the
CM590i delivers consistent high-perfor-
mance music and paging for applications
requiring longer throw or higher volume
above the existing ambient noise level. The
CM590i is ideal for in-ceiling sound rein-
forcement/PA in applications with high
ambient noise levels including casinos,
warehouses, airports, transportation & ship-
ping centers, schools, gyms, arenas and sta-
diums. For additional bass down to 43 Hz
(-10 dB) the CM801i subwoofer may be used.
