SoundTube 6.5" IP-Addressable Speaker in White -IPD4-CM62-BGM-II-WH

SoundTube IPD4-CM62-BGM-II-WH Overview

The SoundTube IPD4-CM62-BGM-II-WH is a Dante®-enabled, IP-addressable 6.5" coaxial in-ceiling speaker that serves as the network hub for up to three additional standard CM62-BGM passive speakers — delivering scalable, software-configurable audio coverage via a single PoE or PoE+ network connection. Part of SoundTube's STNet IP-Addressable and Dante Series, this speaker brings professional distributed audio technology to commercial ceiling installations without the complexity of traditional wiring topologies. Low-latency digital audio, power, and control are transmitted over standard Cat cable, simplifying infrastructure while enabling granular zone control through the STNet Control Center software. With UL 60065 and UL 2043 plenum-rated certifications and an IPX3 moisture rating, the IPD4-CM62-BGM-II-WH is designed for the full range of commercial installation environments.

Product Description

At the acoustic core of the IPD4-CM62-BGM-II-WH is a 6.5" polypropylene cone woofer with butyl rubber surround, paired with SoundTube's 1" silk dome tweeter incorporating the BroadBeam Ring™ technology for smooth off-axis performance with a 4.0 kHz crossover. Tuned-port baffle design extends bass response to 55 Hz (±10 dB), while second-order crossover networks (12 dB/octave) provide clean driver separation. The speaker delivers up to 95 dB Max SPL at 1m, suitable for moderate-volume commercial BGM in retail, corporate, hospitality, and healthcare environments. The IPD4 variant adds a 6-pin 5.08mm Euroblock output connector and RJ45 port — enabling daisy-chain connection of up to three additional CM62-BGM speakers from a single IPD4 node, a significant cost advantage over deploying individual IP speakers at each location. When deployed in a cluster of four speakers, the system can also be split into two independent stereo channels via software configuration. SoundTube's SpeedWing™ constant-tension fixed-wing mounting system accommodates ceiling material thicknesses from 0.035" to 2.38", with a 10.5" cutout diameter. Power is delivered via PoE/PoE+ (30W maximum with standard switch; 40W with STNet Switch II) or alternatively via a 24V DC barrel connector for non-PoE installations. Note: IPD speakers are not compatible with PoE++ (60W+). Included accessories: conduit clamp, grille, tile bridge (color-coded green). UL listed conduit clamp and paint shield included.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between the IPD4 and standard IPD model?
A: The IPD4-CM62-BGM-II-WH adds a 6-pin Euroblock output connector that can power and transmit audio to up to three additional standard CM62-BGM passive speakers. This allows one IP network endpoint to drive a four-speaker cluster, reducing network infrastructure costs significantly compared to deploying four individual IP speakers.

Q: Can the IPD4-CM62-BGM-II-WH be powered without a PoE switch?
A: Yes. In addition to PoE and PoE+ (up to 30W, or 40W with the STNet Switch II), the speaker accepts power via a 24V DC barrel connector for installations where a PoE switch is not available. Note: IPD speakers are not compatible with PoE++ (60W+).

Q: What software is used to configure zones and levels?
A: SoundTube's STNet Control Center software provides a graphical interface for zone assignment, volume control, EQ, and scheduling. The speaker's Dante® compliance also makes it compatible with Dante Controller for enterprise AV systems.

Q: Is this speaker plenum-rated for commercial ceiling installations?
A: Yes. The IPD4-CM62-BGM-II-WH is UL 2043 listed for plenum air-handling space installation and UL 60065 listed for audio equipment safety — meeting the requirements of commercial AV specifications and NEC plenum-space requirements.

Q: Can I split a four-speaker cluster into two separate audio zones?
A: Yes. When the IPD4 drives three additional CM62-BGM speakers, the four-speaker group can be configured in STNet software to handle two separate stereo channels — effectively creating two independent audio zones from a single IP endpoint.

Q: What ceiling thickness range does the SpeedWing mounting system support?
A: SoundTube's SpeedWing™ constant-tension fixed-wing mounting system accommodates ceiling materials from 0.035" (0.9mm) to 2.38" (60.4mm) thick — suitable for standard drywall, drop tile, and specialty ceiling assemblies.

Q: Where can I purchase the SoundTube IPD4-CM62-BGM-II-WH?
A: Available from Creation Networks at creationnetworks.net, an authorized SoundTube dealer providing commercial AV solutions and integration services.
