SoundTube IPD4-CM62-BGM 6" IP-Addressable Master PoE Speaker, White, Single

The IPD4-CM62-BGM is a 6.5" coaxial in-ceiling speaker for IP-addressable audio networks on the Dante platform which can provide economical system expansion through connection of up to three non-IP SoundTube CM62-BGM speakers directly to the IPD4 unit. It incorporates a 6.5" polypropylene driver with butyl rubber surround and a 1" silk dome tweeter in a sealed drawn steel backcan with a tuned port. The speaker delivers frequency response of 50 Hz - 22 kHz (-10 dB) with consistent, broad high frequency dispersion supplied through SoundTube's proprietary BroadBeam Ring technology.Power, audio and control are delivered to the speaker via a CAT5 or CAT6 cable; connection on the other end is made to the STNet-Switch, which provides 40W PoE (Power over Ethernet) to each speaker. The speaker may also be connected to standard PoE or PoE Plus switches, which will provide lower input power to the speaker cluster; input power to the IPD4-CM62-BGM is shared among all speakers in the master-slave cluster. Audio connection to non-IP speakers in the cluster is made via a terminal strip on the IPD4 speaker; two channels of audio are available at each IPD4-CM62-BGM master unit and may be directed to the other speakers as neededConfiguration and zoning of the IPD4 master speaker is done via software. Should any problem occur with the speaker during operation, it will be reported immediately via SoundTube monitoring software.Mounting hardware for the IPD4- CM62-BGM is included and features SoundTube's SpeedWing constant tension fixed-wing mounting system, along with a 21-gauge steel tile bridge which ensures rapid and secure installation in any drywall or drop-tile application. The tile bridge is color-coded to match the speaker. An optional pre-construction bracket is also available. Applications Developed for economical audio coverage expansion in Dante audio platforms, the IPD4-CM62-BGM is ideal for hotels, museums, houses of worship, education, retail stores, restaurants, airports or corporate installations. This speaker is based on SoundTube's CM-BGM series, which was engineered for high efficiency, good musicality and added bass response, so it is suitable for both background music and paging.
