Soundtube CM52S-BGM-II-WH In-ceiling Bgm Speaker

Product Description

The SOUNDTUBE CM52S-BGM-II-WH is a 5.25-inch in-ceiling background music speaker designed for commercial and light commercial distributed audio installations. Built in a short-can configuration, it fits in ceiling cavities with limited plenum depth, making it well-suited for drop-ceiling and low-clearance installations. The speaker ships as a single unit and is finished in white to blend with standard ceiling tile and drywall surfaces. Audio contractors and low-voltage integrators are the primary installers of this type of device in retail, hospitality, office, and similar commercial environments.

This speaker is intended for background music and paging applications in commercial spaces where ceiling depth is restricted. The short-can design reduces the required plenum clearance compared to standard-depth in-ceiling speakers, allowing installation in areas where full-depth cans would not fit. It is sold as an individual unit, making it easy to order in quantities that match zone layouts. Typical deployments include restaurant dining rooms, hotel corridors, retail floors, and open office areas requiring distributed low-level audio coverage.

Key Features

• Short-can enclosure design for installations with limited above-ceiling plenum depth
• 5.25-inch driver configuration for distributed background music coverage
• White finish for a clean, low-profile appearance against standard ceiling surfaces
• Single-unit packaging allows flexible zone-by-zone ordering
• In-ceiling form factor keeps floor and wall surfaces clear in commercial spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style in-ceiling background music speaker for commercial distributed audio systems requiring a short-can form factor with a 5.25-inch driver.

Installation Notes

Installation of in-ceiling speakers is typically performed by licensed low-voltage or audio contractors following applicable local building and fire codes, including requirements for plenum-rated cable where the speaker penetrates a return-air plenum. Power down the amplifier or mixer and verify the system is de-energized before making speaker wire connections. Ensure the ceiling cutout diameter matches the manufacturer template, and verify plenum clearance meets the short-can depth requirement before cutting. Do not exceed the amplifier output rating for the speaker load impedance used in the zone.
