Description

The SM52-EZ-WX is a cost-effective, high-efficiency surface-mount loudspeaker for distributed or 8 Ω applications. The SM52-EZ-WX is designed for extreme weather resistance is rated for high levels of protection against both water and dust. The SM52-EZ-WX incorporates a dedicated 5.25" polypropylene woofer and an offset 1" soft dome tweeter with waveguide to deliver superb intelligibility for background to foreground music and messaging (up to 100 dB max. SPL).

The SM52-EZ-WX uses a 32 W low-insertion loss transformer and a six-position tap switch with a transformer bypass position. Mounting for the SM52-EZ-WX includes a pre-mountable U-bracket for fast, secure installation and easy division of labor.

Features

• The SM52-EZ-WX is a cost-conscious, weather-resistant, surface-mount loudspeaker.
• BroadBeam Ring ^™ technology for midrange clarity and ultra-wide off-axis performance up to 10 kHz for maximum coverage area per speaker.
• One 5.25" (133 mm) polypropylene woofer and one 1" (25.4 mm) soft dome tweeter.
• Extreme weather resistance with IP65 ingress protection rating allows use in challenging outdoor conditions.
• 83 dB average sensitivity offers high output capabilities and reduced amplification costs.
• Easy access, six-position selectable tap switch for 25, 70.7, and 100 V applications with transformer bypass position.
  • Aluminum grille with powder-coat finish.
• Vertical and horizontal mounting offer precision aiming for indoor and outdoor applications.
• UL 1480A and EN54 approved.
  • High-quality black or white paint finish.
• Included accessories: safety cable, wall-mount bracket, port plug, Allen wrench, and watertight strain-relief bushing.

Applications

Designed for damp outdoor background to mid-level SPL surface-mount applications. The system includes a detachable mounting bracket designed for premounting in surface-mounting applications. The full-frequency dispersion pattern and high sensitivity make the SM52-EZ-WX surface-mount speaker ideal for music and paging in retail, amusement, restaurant, airports, hotels, schools, and casinos. For applications where addition bass is required, SoundTube's RS1001i-II-T provides bass down to 41 Hz (±10 dB).

The frequency dividing network shall have a crossover frequency of 3.5 kHz with slopes of 12 dB per octave (2nd order) for both low and high pass filters. Rated power capacity shall be at least 50 W continuous (RMS) and conform to EIA-426-B testing. Maximum continuous output at 1 M shall be 100 dB.

Installation and safety attachment for the speaker shall be by stainless steel U-bracket affixed to the speaker chassis with steel insert. For safety redundancy, a secondary cable shall be included and attached to the speaker chassis.

The external wiring input connector shall be via 4-position ceramic terminal strip, accepting up to 8-gauge wire. The system shall be for indoor/outdoor applications and shall include a weather-resistant cover over all wire connections.

The enclosure shall be constructed of injection-molded, High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS). The grille shall be constructed of powder-coated aluminum for lasting performance. Overall cabinet dimensions shall be no more than 301.8 mm (11.88") in height by 190.5 mm (7.5") in width by 168.4 mm (6.63") in depth (without SM bracket).
