Community’s I Series family of high-power/high-output modular loudspeakers is aimed at houses of worship, multi-purpose auditoria, live theatres and similar professional and commercial venues, promising musical quality and vocal clarity.
The new line comprises point-source, high-directivity, compact and floor-monitor models at multiple performance levels, providing modular scalability. A suite of matching-height subwoofers, in sizes ranging from compact single 12-inch models, to dual 18-inch models, complements the full-range I Series models. Optional weather-resistant versions address the needs of sports fields, amphitheatres and other outdoor venues.
I Series high-output woofers combine a variety of technologies for smooth response, exceptional intelligibility, low distortion, and minimal power compression. Two-way models have large-format compression drivers, a choice of six rotatable horns and individually-voiced, beamwidth-matched crossovers with single or biamp operation. Three-way models offer a choice of three rotatable horn patterns and biamp or triamp operation and use a combination of large-format HF compression driver and Community’s M200HP midrange compression driver – both with ketone polymer diaphragms for smooth and uniform sound quality.
The loudspeakers’ discreet, appearance minimises impact on venue aesthetics. Their lightweight 15mm Baltic Birch cabinets are finished in black or white low-gloss textured paint, and their edge-to-edge wrap-around fabric-backed powder-coated steel grilles have no forward-facing logos.
A wide range of optional low-profile, modular installation hardware supports the quick and easy installation of virtually any combination of I Series models. These installation hardware systems improve aesthetics by keeping the brackets hidden above and behind the cabinets, while also reducing the vertical array height and minimising the number of suspension cables.
‘I Series is a wide variety of great loudspeaker tools, crafted for sonic and aesthetic transparency and designed to remove the limitations systems designers and integrators face when using other loudspeakers,’ says Chris Barrow, Community Director of Product Marketing, ‘With I Series, systems designers can realise their goals for even coverage and great sound while architects and owners get a loudspeaker array that blends well with a facility’s interior design.’
