Soundtube XT550-GN 5.25" 2-way Outdoor Speaker System in Green

SoundTube XT550-GN 5.25" 2-Way Outdoor Speaker — XT Extreme Weather Series (Green)

The SoundTube XT550-GN is a professional-grade 2-way outdoor loudspeaker engineered for installations where both sonic performance and environmental durability are non-negotiable. Part of SoundTube's XT Extreme Weather Outdoor Series, the XT550-GN features a sealed, in-ground enclosure design that delivers true low-end response down to 49 Hz while maintaining optimal off-axis performance for wide coverage areas. The speaker carries an IP55 ingress protection rating, confirming it is fully resistant to dust and directed water jets — making it the correct choice for pools, sports facilities, and exposed landscape audio systems. Each unit ships with anti-theft mounting hardware, a weatherproof 5-position tap switch, and wire nuts, providing a complete and secure installation package out of the box.

Description

The XT550-GN's 5.25" polypropylene woofer and 1" aluminum dome tweeter are paired with a 3.0 kHz crossover network and operate at a nominal 4-ohm impedance, handling up to 60 watts continuous RMS with 120 watts program power. The transformer-equipped design supports 25V, 70.7V, and 100V distributed audio systems as well as 4-ohm direct-drive configurations — giving commercial AV integrators complete flexibility across project types. UV resistance, scratch resistance, and chlorine resistance mean the speaker maintains its green powder-coat finish and structural integrity in pool decks, resort landscapes, theme parks, and coastal installations where lesser products fail within seasons. SoundTube's sealed enclosure eliminates the humidity traps and pest ingress points common in ported outdoor designs, contributing to the long-term reliability that commercial projects demand. The included anti-theft bracket and weatherproof strain relief address real-world installation concerns in hospitality and public venue deployments. Sensitivity of 83 dB at 1W/1M, combined with a frequency response of 49 Hz to 22 kHz (±10 dB, port open), ensures the XT550-GN delivers intelligible background music and paging coverage across large outdoor zones. The painted steel grille complements landscaping while protecting drivers from physical impact. Certifications include CE, IP55, RoHS, and UL1480A — meeting the compliance requirements for commercial installations across North America and Europe.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the XT550-GN suitable for pool deck installations?

Yes. The IP55 rating confirms protection against directed water jets, and the speaker's chlorine resistance makes it appropriate for permanent installation adjacent to swimming pools and water features.

Can the XT550-GN operate on a 70.7V distributed audio system?

Yes. The built-in weatherproof tap switch supports 25V, 70.7V, and 100V operation, as well as 4-ohm direct drive. Maximum tap settings are 4W (25V), 32W (70.7V), and 32W (100V).

What is the difference between the port-open and port-closed frequency response?

With the port open, the speaker achieves 49 Hz–22 kHz (±10 dB), providing deeper bass extension. Closing the port raises the low-frequency cutoff to 62 Hz but reduces resonance in environments where bass buildup is a concern.

Does the green finish fade in direct sunlight?

The XT550-GN is engineered with UV-resistant materials throughout. The finish is rated to maintain color and structural integrity under prolonged UV exposure, a key requirement for outdoor landscape audio installations.

What mounting hardware is included?

The XT550-GN ships with an anti-theft bracket, weatherproof strain relief, and wire nuts. Optional accessories include an additional anti-theft bracket (ATD-XT), grille (GRL-XT5), tap switch cover (CVR-XT-TAPSW), and port plug (PP-XT550).

Can I use multiple XT550-GN speakers on a single amplifier channel?

Yes. In 70.7V or 100V mode, multiple speakers can share a single amplifier output. In 4-ohm direct mode, impedance must be calculated based on the number of speakers and their parallel or series wiring configuration.

What certifications does the XT550-GN carry?

The speaker is CE, IP55, RoHS, and UL1480A certified, covering commercial installation compliance requirements for both North American and European markets.
