Applications
The SoundTube XT800 is a premium
2-way outdoor loudspeaker for installa-
tions requiring high-performance sound in
a durable speaker design. The XT800
is designed for full-range background/
foreground music and paging. With a 360û
dispersion pattern, the XT800 is an ideal
choice for theme parks, shopping malls, res-
taurants, resorts, waterparks, gardens and
other outdoor applications requiring high-
performance sound with additional bass.
XT800 speakers come with in-ground anti-
theft brackets for increased outdoor security.
Red
educe Overall System Costs
SoundTube’s BroadBeam®dispersion
technology utilizes an advanced diffuser/
tweeter system to provide maximum
dispersion across the entire audio spec-
trum, resulting in excellent off-axis
response well beyond 10 kHz.
Designed specifically for outdoor music
& paging, the XT800 projects even coverage
and smooth response over a larger area
than typical outdoor speakers, with fewer
units per install – saving time and money
on speakers, installation and amp power.
E
nclosure Technology
XT enclosures are engineered for maxi-
mum durability and performance. Unlike
other outdoor speakers, SoundTubes incor-
porate patented ZeroReflection™internal

Architectural Specifications
The loudspeaker shall be of in-ground
design consisting of one 203 mm (8.0 in)
low-frequency transducer and one 25 mm
(1.0 in) high-frequency transducer with a
frequency-dividing network installed in a
vented enclosure. The low-frequency voice
coil diameter shall be 40 mm (1.6 in).
Performance specifications of a typical pro-
duction unit shall be as follows: Usable
frequency response shall extend from
40 Hz – 20 kHz. The loudspeaker shall be
available in 64 W transformer and 8 Ohm
models. Taps shall be nominally 4 W @ 70.7
V (8 W @ 100 V), 8 W @ 70.7 V (16W @
100 V), 16 W @ 70.7 V, 64 W @ 100 V and
64 W @ 70.7 V (not used in 100 V systems).
The frequency-dividing network shall have a
crossover frequency of 2.4 kHz. Rated power
capacity of the components and network shall
be at least 100 Watts continuous RMS power.
