The white RS800i 8" Coaxial Open-Ceiling Speaker from SoundTube Entertainment is a two-way ported speaker with an open-ceiling enclosure design that delivers effective low-end response (from 58 Hz to 22 kHz @ -10 dB). The BroadBeam technology in this speaker incorporates a high-frequency waveguide mated to a 1" convex titanium tweeter. The BroadBeam high-frequency waveguide delivers a consistent dispersion pattern across the operating bandwidth that offers optimum edge-to-edge coverage and reduced power needs.

The RS800i Speaker incorporates a low-profile grille, motor-board, and a six-position tap switch with transformer bypass position. It features a SpeedClamp self-locking cable grip for fast, easy, and secure installation. Designed for indoor and outdoor background to foreground SPL applications, the RS800i Speaker includes a single-point mounting system for rapid open-ceiling installations. The broad dispersion pattern of 105° and high sensitivity of 89.5 dB 1W/1m makes this speaker suitable for big box stores, fitness centers, sports bars, multi-purpose rooms, places of worship, airports, theme parks, ballrooms, convention centers, casinos, and other open-ceiling applications.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. If I wanted in pairs I just make the quantity 2?

A: The SoundTube Entertainment RS600i ships as a single unit if you require a pair, you will need to select a quantity of 2.

Q: 2. does it come in pairs?

A: This speaker system is purchased and shipped as a single unit.

Q: 3. is this for one speaker or a pair? They usually ship in pairs

A: The CM500i speaker is sold individually. This item includes a single CM500i speaker and mounting hardware.

Q: 4. Recomended 8Ω JBL or CROWN amplifier for 2 per channel 18C/T?

A: The JBL CSA 2120Z Audio Amplifier - 2 x 120W (B&H # JBCSA2120Z) that James recommended is a good option since it can be used as a 70V or standard amp and its power rating makes it a good match for use with two of the JBL 18C/T speakers on each channel. Crown's XTi 1002 (B&H # CRXTI1002) is a standard stereo amp rated at 275W per channel at 8 Ohms which could also work for you. As another option, the QSC ISA300Ti Commercial Power Amplifier (B&H # QSISA300TI) is a standard amp rated at 180W per channel at 8 Ohms and also operates at 70V for a constant voltage setup.

Q: 5. Can these be mounted to a 3/4 inch surface with a 9.4 inch hole?

A: Cutout Depth: 4.4" Cutout Size 9.4"

Q: 6. Hi, is this suitable for outdoor use (under roof), NYC temperatures?

A: The SoundTube Entertainment CM1001DT is not rated or apprved for outdoor use.

Q: 7. 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: 8. Can you use these speakers on a regular home amplifier?

A: The JBL Control 26CT are designed to be use with a 70v commercial amplifier. A home receiver lacks the necessary transformer found in commercial amps like the JBL CSA 1120Z Audio Amplifier; B&H# JBCSA1120Z.

Q: 9. What transformer is for?And will they work with, for example, this amplifier?Lanzar HTG157 3000-Watt 2-Ohm Monoblock Mosfet Amplifier (1 x 1500W RMS at 2 OHMS) (seems. 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: 10. do these come as a pair or is the price per individual speaker?

A: The price is per individual speaker.

[20 x 18 x 18"] Installed 4 pairs of this in an auditorium of 60ftx40ft. Easy to install, sound quality is great. The wattage tap settings on the front make it easily accessible and simplify refining volume levels of the system especially when mounted on ceiling Also, the System Design Software on jblpro website helped a lot in validating speaker placement. 5

[3 kHz] Worked as replacements for 25 year old speakers perfectly. 5

[3 kHz] I used these speakers with JBL 19cs subwoofers for a weight room facility sound system. The total system consisted of 6 - 26c speakers and 4 - 19cs subwoofers. Wiring is made easy with the removable terminal blocks and passthrough wiring. Basically each speaker connects to each other in a line. This installation method reduces cost for speaker wire and labor involved with running extra wire. The terminal blocks have 4 wire holes. For the first speaker in the line will use holes 2 & 3 for the line connecting to the amplifier. Then a wire is ran from speaker 1 to speaker 2. Holes 1 & 4 from speaker 1 connects to holes 2 & 3 on speaker 2. This continues for the entire line. Be sure to properly power these speakers. Both the 19cs and 26c need 140 watts of power. In our installation we used 2 amplifiers splitting the system into left and right sides of the room. Since each amp had 2 outputs of 500 watts for each channel. This provided some headroom for the speakers. On both amps output 1 was was the high and output 2 was the low. Output 1 had 3 26c speakers and output 2 had 2 19cs subwoofers. These amplifiers had a built in crossover feature that splits the signal into high and low frequences which is essential for installing a system like this. A xlr splitter was used to convert the output from the mixer (1 xlr) to inputs for both amps (2 xlr). A cutout template is provided for cutting ceiling tiles. Once tiles are put back in the ceiling the installation can be done without access into the ceiling. The speaker is designed to push up through the cutout in the ceiling tile and clamps down to the C bracket (included). Make sure to have someone assist with installing, these can be insalled with one person but can be difficult for one person to lift, attach wires, put into place, and screw down holders. Overall these speakers work as expected and would buy again. They install nicely and end product looks professional. Nothing less to be expected from JBL. 5

[250 W] Very good quality, easy installation, just cut a hole in the drywall/sheet rock with the included template, connect the wires, push the speaker into the cut out, the three holding arms will spring into place and you are done. Very good back ground sound for a small speaker. 5

[27 lb] Due to the relatively low cost, I was a little concerned that these would not satisfy our requirements for the space but man do these deliver. We have 4 of these running on one Sonos Amp in a large living room paired with a Sonos Sub. The speakers are mounted approx. 11ft off the ground on a sloped ceiling. VERY impressed with how they perform! 5

[250 W] I used this speaker in a on campus weight room. Easy install. All parts included even the tile bridge. This speaker easily adapts to either a 70 volt or 8 ohm system. 5

[3 kHz] Love the install and sound. Hope I win $1000... 5

Plambert57	27/04/2024
[250 W] We used these speakers to replace our old, tired ceiling speakers. They sounded much better than expectations, and for the price, were a true value.Value and price point are always important..but even those things are worthless without customer service, during and after the sale. Special thanks to Shoshana for her help and diligence to put this order together and shipped out in a timely fashion that allowed us to finish the project in a very tight window of opportunity.Shop with confidence at B&H..A Happy and Blessed Passover my friends!!Patrick Lambert, Director of FacilitiesSt. Thomas Aquinas College 5

[27 lb] Speakers are small & blend in nicely in open ceiling environment. Good sound quality for a small speaker. Good sound coverage. 5

AV Billy	13/04/2024
[20 x 18 x 18"] I use these speakers in meeting rooms of various sizes and for several purposes such as lectures, symposia, music playback, and movies. They are installed in drop ceilings, which, of course, has its drawbacks, but the response and delivery of these speakers is outstanding. I wouldn't think of going with another choice except to upgrade to the 47c/t in rooms that can handle more bass. response. 5
