The black SM500i-II-WX 5.25" Surface Mount Speaker from SoundTube Entertainment is a 5.25", two-way speaker with a midsize enclosure design that delivers low-end response (60 Hz) and optimal off-axis performance (2 to 10 kHz).

The proprietary BroadBeam technology incorporates a high-frequency waveguide mated to a 1" convex aluminum tweeter with FerroFluid cooling. This helps deliver consistent high-performance audio across the operating bandwidth. The result is an audio system requiring fewer speakers with high intelligibility, offering reduced power needs, shorter installation time, and cost-effectiveness.

The SM500i-II-WX Speaker features a low-profile grille and 6-position tap switch with transformer bypass. In addition, the security knob reduces the chances of tampering after installation. Designed for outdoor surface-mount applications in severe weather conditions, the speaker features WeatherX Technology for lasting performance even in the most extreme weather conditions. The WeatherX Technology utilizes a dual-layer hydrophobic material inside the speaker grille to protect the drivers and internal electronics from water. All the exposed metal components including the grille, screws, and mounting systems are built using non-corrosive materials (stainless steel or aluminum), and are IP44-rated.

The speaker comes with the Stealth bracket mounting system, allowing for an increased aiming angle. It also includes a detachable mounting plate designed for pre-mounting in either wall or pole applications. The speaker is suitable for music and paging in retail, amusement, restaurant, airports, hotels, schools and casinos.

Q: 4. How are they connected to sound system?

A: Integrated 20W transformer for 25 / 70.7 / 100W applications . Use plenum rated, 2-conductor 18 AWG stranded. These connect to 70 volt type amplifiers commonly used for commercial installations. They cannot connect to home av receivers or amplifiers.

Q: 5. I'd like to improve the sound from my 55" Smart TV, with bluetooth

A: This will connect to your TV via bluetooth if your TV has this capability.

I can't post URL's here :( )I need to install 4 these speakers in mono in a cafe for silent background music and I need a simple amplifier.

A: This pendant mount speaker is designed for distributed audio systems and not designed for the amplifier you have suggested. Here's an example:

Q: 7. Can this be used as a single rear surround speaker in combination with wired speakers through a Yamaha receiver or do you need a left/right pair to achieve these results?

Very happy with product. Works well 5

Jerry	29/09/2024
This is a excellent speaker. It was very easy to sync with my system and has very good sound quality. 5

Curt	14/09/2024
Bought two for surround speakers since I really couldn't run wires across the room. Easy to set up, and there are tutorials on the Yamaha website too. Pairs nice with my Yamaha receiver, and the app makes it easy to setup and customize. And it's nice to know I can move one or both speakers to another room and play music either from my phone or receiver wirelessly. Great sound too! 5

Ronald	28/08/2024
This is an opinion of how the WX 10X50 views in daylight situations. The WX is at the limits of what I am willing to put up with. It's heavy and needs eye shields. It tends to do black-out's as I pan my eyes around. The tripod mount seems like an after thought. That said , it fills my eyes with candy and I love it. 85 degree AFOV is almost flat to the edge. Grab the Mk 41 or Mk 43 for convenience but take the WX if you need to dazzle your eyes and don't mind a bit more inconvenience. Nothing tops the views. 5

Werkowitch	23/08/2024
The sound is excellent and at least if not better than Sonos. We returned the Sonos for these so we could use them in the same app as our Yamaha receiver. The app is easy to use and it's nice to have our home theatre Yamaha receiver be integrated with these speakers all in one app. 5

Chris	21/08/2024
These are amazing. They start up where Sonos and other comparable systems leave off. The ability to remotely connect them to Yamaha AV receivers using MusicCast is amazing, and it all works perfectly. 5

Laszlo	05/07/2024
It was more difficult to set up than I anticipated, but once done these sound amazing and can easily be controlled with the MusicCast app. I’ve just bought a third one now. Nice to have music in every living space. 5

John	23/06/2024
Paired easily out of the box to my Music Cast receiver in another room. Unit was small enough to fit under the sofa and fills the room with great sound! 5

Rene	19/06/2024
This unit can be paired with other Yamaha music cast units and configured as stereo or surround sound systems all wireless. The sound is really good and the units can stream from many services and devices. It also has aux and digital inputs in case you want to plug in some devices you already own. 5

John	26/05/2024
Have owned this for a year. Just bought one for our kitchen. This is a very high quality network of Bluetooth speaker. I typically stream Tidal high resolution files. Great highs and midrange sound. Some bass. You can pair two of these for stereo. 5
