Know before you buy
No, the D-500 is a full-range speaker capable of reaching frequencies down to 50Hz. Its design allows it to handle deep bass performance on its own, making it an excellent choice for setups where space is limited.
The D-500 features a pre-mounted, closed MDF enclosure. This simplifies the installation process significantly, as you do not need to construct a custom backbox to ensure consistent audio performance.
Because the D-500 includes its own sealed enclosure, its audio performance remains consistent regardless of the wall construction or cavity space behind it. This design prevents the acoustic inconsistencies often associated with standard open-back in-wall speakers.
The D-500 is a passive speaker with a nominal impedance of 4 Ohms and a sensitivity of 88 dB. It is engineered to be easy to drive, meaning it will pair well with most standard home theater receivers or dedicated power amplifiers.
To install the D-500, you will need a cut-out measuring 618 x 360 x 104 mm (24.3 x 14.2 x 4.1 inches). Please ensure your wall cavity has sufficient depth to accommodate the 104 mm mounting depth of the enclosure.
