The Audible Y-717 5-inch ceiling speaker is a 2-way loudspeaker designed for public address systems and background music applications. Its recessed design fits neatly into ceilings. Therefore, it provides sound coverage while maintaining a clean, unobtrusive appearance.
The speaker features a 5-inch graphite cone woofer with a foam rubber edge. In addition, it uses a 0.75-inch silk soft dome tweeter for high-frequency reproduction. As a result, the 2-way design supports speech announcements and music playback in commercial and residential spaces.
Furthermore, the Audible Y-717 supports both 100V line and 8-ohm connections. This flexibility makes it suitable for different audio system configurations. However, please confirm the correct power rating before installation because the product packaging and rear terminal label show different ratings.
