Soundtube HP590I 5.25" 2-way Hanging Speaker

The SoundTube HP590I is a 5.25-inch 2-way high-ceiling pendant speaker engineered for large-volume commercial spaces where in-ceiling speakers cannot achieve adequate SPL or coverage. Its 5.25-inch polypropylene woofer pairs with a 1-inch convex titanium tweeter mounted on a proprietary cast-aluminum baffle and heat sink with a 90° tractrix horn profile, producing a 55° coverage angle that precisely controls dispersion in high-bay environments. Patented BroadBeam® waveguide technology ensures maximum intelligibility at the edges of the coverage zone. The ZeroReflection™ enclosure eliminates internal resonance artifacts, while weatherized components extend the HP590I's service life in demanding indoor and outdoor settings.

Available from Creation Networks, the HP590I delivers 87.5 dB sensitivity and 80 W RMS power handling — providing high SPL for warehouse-scale spaces and transit facilities where ambient noise is elevated. The six-position selectable tap switch covers 25 V, 70.7 V, and 100 V distributed systems plus an 8 Ω bypass. UL 2239-listed hanging hardware with galvanized steel cables and integrated SpeedClamp™ self-locking wire grips enable fast, safe installation. Euroblock connector and terminal weather boot are included. Available in black and white finishes.

Key Features

• Tractrix Horn-Loaded Titanium Tweeter — 90° waveguide on cast-aluminum baffle/heat sink delivers high-efficiency, focused dispersion for large-volume high-bay spaces.
• 55° Coverage Angle — Narrower pattern than wide-dispersion pendant speakers; appropriate for mounting heights above 6 meters where controlled coverage is essential.
• BroadBeam® Waveguide Technology — Consistent frequency response across the coverage zone ensures speech intelligibility at all seat positions.
• ZeroReflection™ Enclosure — Patented geometry eliminates internal standing waves for clean, artifact-free reproduction at high drive levels.
• 80 W RMS / 160 W Program — High power handling sustains commercial-level SPL in large, high-ambient-noise environments.
• UL 2239 Hanging Hardware — Listed galvanized steel cables with SpeedClamp™ self-locking grips for fast, code-compliant ceiling installation.
• 87.5 dB Sensitivity — Efficient output per watt reduces amplifier channel demands when deploying multiple speakers across large zones.
• Weatherized Components — Suitable for indoor and covered outdoor applications; components specified for extended operational life in variable-humidity environments.

Typical Applications

The HP590I is purpose-designed for high-ceiling commercial environments: warehouse and distribution center floors, manufacturing facilities, sports arena concourses, airport terminals and baggage claim halls, convention center exhibit halls, transit station platforms, large-format retail spaces, and open-plan office atriums — any space where speaker mounting height requires focused vertical projection to maintain intelligibility at listener level.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the HP590I differ from the RS500I?

The HP590I uses a tractrix horn-loaded tweeter with a 55° coverage angle optimized for high-ceiling installations above 6 meters. The RS500I uses a BroadBeam waveguide with a wider 105° pattern suited for lower-ceiling pendant applications. The HP590I also offers higher power handling (80 W vs 75 W RMS).

What ceiling height is this speaker designed for?

The HP590I is engineered for high-bay environments typically ranging from 6 to 15+ meters. Its 55° coverage pattern and high sensitivity ensure adequate SPL and intelligibility at listener level from elevated mounting positions.

What color finishes are available?

The HP590I is available in black (HP590I-BK) and white (HP590I-WH). Contact Creation Networks to confirm current stock and lead times.

Is UL 2239-listed hanging hardware included?

Yes. UL 2239-listed galvanized steel cables with integrated SpeedClamp™ self-locking wire grips are included in the box for code-compliant installation.

Can this speaker be used outdoors?

The HP590I uses weatherized components and is suitable for covered indoor/outdoor applications. For direct-exposure outdoor locations, evaluate IP-rated speakers such as the SM590I-II.

What voltage systems is it compatible with?

The HP590I supports 25 V, 70.7 V, and 100 V distributed audio via the built-in transformer, plus an 8 Ω direct bypass for low-impedance amplifiers.
