INTRODUCTION
The Community M12 is a two-way, full-range, bass-ported performance loudspeaker. Its low profile exterior
occupies a very small footprint, making it an ideal choice for stage monitors. The rugged multilayer glass
composite construction, stainless steel grille and an abrasion-resistant non-reflective finish make the M12 an
excellent choice for high ambient light scenarios, such as TV broadcasts and live stage events. Specially
molded channels and cable clips allow speaker cables to be routed through the sides and the bottom of the
enclosure, and the dual Neutrik NL4 connectors are tucked safely away in a pocket beneath the enclosure.
The M12 features a high-powered 12-inch woofer and a 2-inch exit wide-band high frequency driver, which
are mounted to a molded one-piece asymmetrical horn with a 90-degree dispersal pattern at the top and
40-degree dispersal pattern at the bottom. This unique horn design allows the M12 to operate at full-range
output and be equally effective up close or at a distance. The M12 can be ordered with the HF horn
mounted either to the left or right of the woofer, allowing for mirrored pairs.
