The SSP500 uses a heat-resistant ABS enclosure, polypropylene bass driver and aluminium grille to provide a practical 8-ohm audio solution where environmental conditions rule out a conventional in-ceiling speaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eDesigned for Heat and Humidity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA purpose-built speaker for demanding wellness spaces.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe SSP500 carries an IP44 rating and is specified for operating temperatures from -40°C to 90°C with relative humidity below 95%. Its enclosure material is heat resistant up to 100°C, while the published operating limit remains 90°C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThat distinction matters in sauna projects. Speaker location, heat zones, steam exposure, cable selection and local installation requirements should all be considered before the ceiling or wall lining is closed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eTwo-Way Coaxial Design\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClear background music from a compact flush-mounted format.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eA 5-inch low-frequency driver and coaxially mounted 1-inch tweeter provide a quoted frequency response of 75Hz-20kHz. Continuous power handling is 20W AES, with 40W program and 80W peak ratings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe 86dB sensitivity and 8-ohm impedance make the SSP500 suitable for conventional low-impedance amplification.
