Description

SoundTube IPD-CI52 5.25" IP-Addressable Dante-Enabled In-Ceiling Speaker

The SoundTube IPD-CI52 is a high-performance, IP-addressable 5.25" coaxial in-ceiling speaker designed for seamless integration with Dante™ and AES67-enabled audio networks. Now available in a residential version, the IPD-CI52 features a compact form factor with a 9.125" hole cutout and a 10" overall diameter, making it a discreet, aesthetically refined option for homes, luxury residences, and high-end commercial applications. The speaker is housed in a sleek navy blue enclosure, blending seamlessly with interior designs while maintaining SoundTube’s premium performance.

Engineered for superior sound quality and easy installation, the IPD-CI52 features a polypropylene woofer with a butyl rubber surround and a 1" silk dome tweeter, all housed in a sealed drawn steel backcan with a tuned port for enhanced bass response. With BroadBeam Ring™ technology, it delivers consistent high-frequency dispersion, ensuring clear and immersive audio throughout any space.

Power, audio, and control are delivered via a single CAT5 or CAT6 cable, connecting to a SoundTube STNet Switch that provides 40W PoE (also compatible with standard PoE+ and PoE switches). The speaker can be configured and monitored remotely via SoundTube software, offering real-time diagnostics and problem reporting.

Designed for both commercial and residential networked audio needs, the IPD-CI52 is proudly Made in the USA, providing customers with a premium, domestically produced in-ceiling speaker solution. Ideal for retail, hospitality, and residential applications, it delivers exceptional performance in a compact, visually unobtrusive design.
