A Designer's Dream
Builders and designers will love how the ES-500T's thin bezel look matches the rest of the décor, such as contemporary low-voltage and "high-hat" lighting. Combined with a bezel that’s up to 1” smaller in diameter than the competition, these speakers virtually disappear into the ceiling. Installation is clean and effortless thanks to a magnetic grill that quickly snaps into place using strong neodymium magnets.
Single Stereo Speaker
Dual voice coil speakers allow for both left and right channels to be emitted from a single speaker. They're perfect for smaller areas where you want stereo sound or for getting wider coverage using only one speaker. The angled tweeter array creates a wide separation of the stereo signal to fill the room. Each of the two inputs is 8 ohms. If a wide-dispersion mono speaker is needed, the two inputs can be wired in either parallel or series. The resulting impedance is 4 ohms or 16 ohms.
Precision Engineering
In order to rise above the field of mass-produced products, you need competent engineering and quality components. In this 500-series model, our speaker designers have combined the low frequency responsiveness of a 6.5" or 8” injection-molded polypropylene woofer with dual ½" ferro-fluid cooled, fabric dome tweeters. Bringing it all together is a custom 2nd-order crossover network that ensures precise performance each and every time.
Compensation Switch
In custom audio installations, no two rooms are alike. Floor coverings, drapes, windows and furniture all impact how a speaker sounds in a room. With the ES-500T, you can quickly and independently adjust each tweeter's output by 3db to compensate for rooms with more or less sound absorbing materials.
Pivoting Tweeter
Bathrooms, vaulted ceilings, common areas – these can all be challenging applications to get the speakers in the right location. This speaker has dual tweeters mounted to a pivoting mechanism that allows you to direct the high frequencies right into the sweet spot.
Installation Ease
Slight variations in sheetrock can sometimes leave a gap between the grill and the ceiling. But our unique bezel design and oversized dog toggles close the gap, keeping the speaker firmly planted to the ceiling. Gold-plated spring terminals let you connect the wires effortlessly.
