CLOUD12 OVERVIEW
Thank you for purchasing your new Community CLOUD12 Series High Output Ceiling Loudspeakers. The
CLOUD12 and CLOUD12SUB ceiling loudspeakers are extremely high output devices, intended to meet the
needs of the professional sound contractor for a variety of professional sound installation applications.
Available in either 60 x 60 degree or 90 x 90 degree coverage patterns, and in both 8 ohm and 70V/100V
formats, the 12-inch woofer and high output co-axially mounted 1-inch tweeter deliver high quality sound
over a wide coverage area. For installations that require extra bass output, the CLOUD12SUB provides a
matched 12-inch ceiling-mount subwoofer.
The CLOUD12 and CLOUD12SUB are provided with multi-terminal barrier strips for amplifier connection. The
70V/100V versions of the CLOUD12 and CLOUD12SUB are provided with the following 70V wattage taps:
25/50/100/200W. For applications outside North America, the following 100V taps are offered:
50/100/200W.
The CLOUD12 and CLOUD12SUB loudspeakers employ Community's advanced technology DYNA-TECH
TM
driver protection system. Functioning as a multi-stage limiter, DYNA-TECH circuitry provides precise and
repeatable protection by reducing excessive power to the drivers under abusive conditions. There are
numerous advantages to this type of multi-stage protection circuitry. The trip point is pre-set to engage at
exactly the same time on all loudspeakers that are powered from the same amplifier. The initial stages of
DYNA-TECH protection circuitry do not rely on, and are not affected by heat build-up. If the system is
operated in the second-stage mode of protection for a long period of time, or if the input level is increased
to try to overcome the volume drop from the second-stage protection circuitry, a solid-state circuit breaker
will trip and remove all signal from the loudspeaker until the input level is reduced. Because this circuit
breaker is heat sensitive, it provides a final level of protection that takes heat into account as well as power.
The CLOUD12 and CLOUD12SUB come mounted on a standard ported baffle, and are equipped with eight
(8) mounting points for industry standard backboxes. Each package includes four (4) 8/32 screws for
mounting the baffle to a backbox.
The CLOUD12 and CLOUD12SUB can be flush-mounted into any ceiling type, or alternatively can be
suspended in an open ceiling. For proper installation, the CLOUD12 assembly must be mounted to a
backbox, such as the Community C12BB3 heavily braced 3.0-cubic foot metal backbox. Additional
accessories available for the CLOUD12 include the C12SQGRL square white grille, and installation channel
rails in 23.75-inch, 30-inch and 47.75-inch lengths (RAIL24-PR, RAIL30-PR and RAIL48-PR, respectively).
