UNDER-BALCONY / STAGE MONITOR: i2W8
The Community i2W8 loudspeaker is a two-way, full-range loudspeaker system designed to provide high
quality music and voice reproduction in applications requiring smooth, ultra-wide, horizontal coverage. It
provides an uncompromised musical system in a compact, attractive package. Engineered for use in
underbalcony, downfill and distributed installations, the loudspeaker enclosure and faceplate are constructed of
13-ply Baltic birch; LF cones are of low mass, high stiffness carbon fiber; and the HF driver has a diaphragm of
titanium. All drivers are Ferrofluid-cooled. The LF drivers and centrally placed ultra-wide 120º HF pattern control
horn have been engineered to provide superior uniform pattern over the widest possible bandwidth. The unique
“Super-V” configuration of the LF drivers provides exceptional uniform midrange pattern that would be
impossible to create with a conventional flat wooden baffle plate.
The multipurpose i2W8 is available in either a black or white painted finish, with an included matching
steel mounting yoke for ease of installation. It can also be ordered with or without a factory-installed 200W
autoformer for 70V/100V applications (model i2W8T). Its six-sided, low profile enclosure and ultra-wide coverage
pattern make the i2W8 ideal for use as a monitor, stage lip or side fill as well. For stage-monitor use, the i2W8
includes a kit of four feet that can be mounted, in pre-drilled holes, on either of two panels.

iBOX loudspeakers are designed with common dimensions and 30° trapezoidal enclosures for easily
assembled arrays. Community offers a wide selection of versatile mounting options for iBOX loudspeakers
centered around metric M10 hardware. iBOX mounting hardware is available in white or black. Detailed
installation instructions for each mounting bracket are included with the bracket itself. Note that the M12 Monitor
is not suspendable.
DANGER:
All rigging fittings and OmniMount™ inserts must be fitted with either optional mounting
hardware or they must remain sealed with the flat-head Allen screws that come installed in the
enclosure. Therefore,
all rigging fittings must have fasteners
in place
so that the enclosure may be
safely ‘flown’ or suspended overhead.
WARNING:
i2W8 rigging fittings have a Working Load Limit of 100 lbs (45.5 kg) with a 15:1 safety
margin. No single rigging fitting should ever be subjected to a load that is greater than 100 lbs. The
i2W8’s rigging fittings are not rated for suspending a 2nd loudspeaker. Do not suspend another
loudspeaker below the i2W8 using the i2W8’s rigging fittings.
