Soundtube FP6030-II 30" Stereo Dual-Parabolic SoundDome Speaker in Clear

SoundTube FP6030-II 30" Stereo Dual-Parabolic SoundDome Speaker — Clear

Product Overview

The SoundTube FP6030-II is a 30" pendant-hung stereo SoundDome speaker featuring SoundTube’s patented Dual-Parabolic™ dispersion control technology, which delivers a precisely targeted audio footprint with true stereo separation from a single hanging unit. The 30.75" custom-molded PETG clear polymer dome creates minimal visual impact in high-ceiling commercial environments including retail stores, museums, airport terminals, and hospitality venues. Twin 1" aluminum high-excursion drivers in individually sealed compartments reproduce stereo or mono music and messaging with remarkable clarity and focus. The FP6030-II ships with a 15-foot hanging cable, hanging bracket, and mounting bushing; optional transformer junction boxes enable 70V system compatibility. CE and RoHS certified, the FP6030-II is the flagship model in SoundTube’s Focus Point Parabolic series.

Product Description

The FP6030-II answers a fundamental challenge in commercial AV: how to deliver clear, intelligible audio to a specific zone in a large, reverberant open space without spilling sound into adjacent areas. SoundTube’s patented Dual-Parabolic™ dispersion control technology achieves this by using the 30.75" parabolic dome enclosure to focus audio downward in a tightly controlled pattern. With a coverage angle of 55° (±6dB at 2kHz), a Directivity Factor (Q) of 27.5 at 2kHz, and a Directivity Index of 14.4dB at 2kHz, the FP6030-II concentrates sound energy on the listening zone directly below the speaker while dramatically reducing sound spill to surrounding areas.

The patented ZeroReflection™ enclosure technology further enhances sound quality by minimizing internal reflections within the dome, resulting in accurate sound reproduction that preserves the stereo imaging of the twin driver array. Two independent 1" concave aluminum high-excursion drivers are mounted in individually sealed compartments, delivering true left/right stereo separation from a single pendant unit—a capability not available from conventional pendant speakers.

A user-selectable 350 Hz high-pass filter reduces low-frequency content when subwoofer reinforcement is available in the system, and the standard 75 Hz high-pass filter position provides full-range response from the speaker. The 15-foot included hanging cable provides four 16-gauge signal inputs plus a CAT5 cable for optional module connectivity. Optional accessory modules include the FP-Motion motion sensor and FP-Light LED lighting module, transforming the speaker into an intelligent, multi-function ceiling fixture with an optional 15V/3A power supply (AC-PS-1530).

The FP6030-II ships in clear PETG, the standard color; custom colors are available for projects requiring specific aesthetic integration. Single-point balanced mounting enables clean installations with a single cable drop from the ceiling structure. Optional 10W (AC-JB10-XFMR) and 20W (AC-JB20-XFMR) transformer junction boxes support 25V, 70.7V, and 100V distributed audio system integration. The optional SA202-RDT external amplifier with power supply provides a self-contained solution for locations without a central amplifier infrastructure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does the FP6030-II achieve stereo audio from a single pendant speaker?
A: The FP6030-II houses two independent 1" aluminum drivers in separately sealed compartments within the 30.75" dome. Each driver receives an independent left or right channel signal, producing true stereo separation in the listening zone below. The parabolic dome focuses each channel downward in a controlled pattern.

Q: What ceiling height is appropriate for the FP6030-II?
A: The FP6030-II is optimized for ceiling heights of approximately 10 to 30 feet. At lower ceiling heights, the 30.75" diameter may create a dominant visual presence; at higher ceilings, the focused dispersion pattern keeps SPL levels consistent at the listening plane. Contact Creation Networks for site-specific height and coverage modeling.

Q: Can the FP6030-II be used in a 70V distributed audio system?
A: Yes, with the optional AC-JB10-XFMR (10W) or AC-JB20-XFMR (20W) transformer junction boxes, which support 25V, 70.7V, and 100V distributed systems. These accessories are purchased separately from the speaker.

Q: What is the purpose of the 350 Hz high-pass filter option?
A: When the FP6030-II is deployed alongside subwoofers in a system, engaging the 350 Hz high-pass filter removes low-frequency content from the speaker, allowing the subwoofer to handle bass reproduction. This improves driver longevity and system clarity in biamplified distributed audio systems.

Q: Is the FP6030-II visible in architectural environments?
A: The clear PETG dome minimizes visual impact; from below, the dome appears nearly transparent against most ceiling backgrounds. Custom color finishes are available for applications requiring specific aesthetic matching.

Q: What optional modules are compatible with the FP6030-II?
A: The FP-Motion occupancy sensor module and FP-Light LED illumination module attach to the speaker and require the optional AC-PS-1530 15V/3A power supply. The SA202-RDT external amplifier with power supply is also available for self-contained operation without a central amplifier.

Q: Can the FP6030-II be wall-mounted instead of ceiling-hung?
A: Yes. The optional AC-WB4 wall mount bracket enables installation against a wall surface in environments where ceiling hanging is not practical. The rigid mount adaptor (AC-FP6-RMA) supports alternative mounting configurations.
