Behringer CE500D Active 2-Way Commercial Loudspeaker 100W 5.5 inch

Small to medium venues often struggle with sound systems that are either too bulky or too weak to deliver clear, balanced audio. The Behringer CE500D solves this by packing a 100-watt Class-D amplifier and a 5.5-inch woofer into a compact, wall-mountable enclosure. It is an active 2-way speaker that brings professional-grade sound to retail stores, cafes, conference rooms, and houses of worship without requiring an external amplifier.

Who is it for

This loudspeaker is ideal for commercial installers, AV integrators, and business owners who need reliable background music or speech reinforcement. It suits spaces where clarity and even coverage matter more than extreme volume, such as restaurants, fitness studios, classrooms, and small auditoriums. The included wall-mount bracket and standard 3/8-inch mic stand thread make installation straightforward in permanent or temporary setups.

Main features

• Active 2-way design with built-in 100W RMS Class-D amplifier for efficient, low-heat operation.
• 5.5-inch woofer and 0.5-inch tweeter deliver a frequency response of 60 Hz to 20 kHz.
• Maximum SPL of 106 dB at 1 meter, enough to fill medium-sized rooms with clear sound.
• Wide 90° horizontal by 90° vertical dispersion ensures consistent coverage across the listening area.
• Flexible connectivity: one XLR input, one 1/4-inch TRS input, and stereo RCA inputs, plus an XLR link output for daisy-chaining multiple speakers.
• Front-panel controls for volume, treble, bass, and input gain allow fine-tuning to the room acoustics.
