SoundTube IPD-CI Series Addressable Dante/AES67 In-Ceiling Speaker

The SoundTube IPD-CI series delivers networked audio via PoE (40 W max) in a sleek, plenum-rated in-ceiling enclosure. Available in two driver sizes 5.25″ and 6.5″ each model features a coaxial polypropylene woofer with butyl-rubber surround and a 1″ silk-dome tweeter with BroadBeam Ring™ technology for uniform high-frequency dispersion. All audio, power, and control run over a single CAT5/CAT6 cable, with remote configuration and status monitoring through SoundTube’s STNet software.

Engineered for both commercial and residential Dante™/AES67 installations, the IPD-CI speakers are housed in a sealed drawn-steel backcan with a tuned port for enhanced bass response. UL2043 and plenum-rated, they’re ideal for retail, hospitality, corporate, and high-end residential applications.
