     Since the founding of our company in 1968, Community has been a constant developer and innovator of 
loudspeaker technology. Many of our engineering achievements were undertaken to solve problems, when no 
prior solutions existed, while others were the result of simply seeing a better way to do things.  
 
     Over the years our technologies have been imitated, and our methods have become common practice 
throughout the professional sound industry. However, developments like carbon fiber diaphragm compression 
drivers still stand alone, and well ahead of the competition. Just a few of Community’s unique accomplishments 
include the following: 
 

 First successful fiberglass mid-frequency, high-frequency, and large-format bass horns. 

 First compression loaded mid-range horn for touring systems - the LMF. 

 First suspension-less diaphragm HF driver - the VHF100. 

 First mid-range, full-decade (200 Hz - 2 kHz) high-power compression driver - the M4. 

 First carbon fiber diaphragm compression drivers - M4, EM280, EM282. 

 First Ferrofluid-cooled professional woofers - the VBS Series. 

 First product series with all drivers Ferrofluid-cooled. 

 First air-cooled loudspeakers for touring systems - AirForce. 

 First three-way cinema loudspeaker systems - Paramount Executive Studio Theatre, Warner Bros.   

      screening theatre and dubbing rooms. 

 First electro-acoustic system to equal the sound level of pneumatic warning sirens. 

 First to provide loudspeaker coverage over an entire country - Denmark Emergency System. 

 First comprehensive, calibrated data acquisition of sound reinforcement products. 

 First integral signal-aligned three-way sound reinforcement systems - RS Series. 

 First pro audio company with an Internet Web site. 

 First all horn-loaded, high-fidelity, weather-resistant loudspeakers - R2 Series. 

 
     In line with our history of excellence and innovation, each Community product is manufactured in accordance 
with a complicated and exacting chain of procedures that ensure absolute quality and uniformity.  
 
     With our unique designs, our sophisticated techniques, and our proprietary materials and transducers, we are 
committed to bringing only the finest audio products to the many thousands of professional sound engineers, 
performers, and end users who rely on them daily.
