INTRODUCTION OF R-SERIES

 

Introduction 

Community’s R-Series is a high-quality, high-fidelity  product  line  designed  to  be  highly  weather-resistant.             
R-Series products perform consistently in continuous outdoor exposure while simultaneously providing 
superlative acoustic performance. 
 
This manual is intended to help you install and use R-Series loudspeakers safely and effectively. It provides 
useful information to help you obtain the best performance, sound quality, and reliability from your R-Series 
systems. We’ve provided Quick-Start diagrams to enable you to install and operate the products immediately.  
However, we recommend that you read this manual in its entirety, to ensure that your R-Series installation 
meets the highest possible standards.  
 
While every attempt has been made to ensure this information is correct and up-to-date, Community 
continuously incorporates worthwhile improvements to each product which may include changes and/or 
modifications not contained in this manual.

DESCRIPTION OF R-SERIES

 

All-Weather, All-Purpose 

Though designed to handle the harshest environmental conditions, R-Series is the perfect choice for many 
indoor environments.  With 22 models to choose from, ranging from short throw with wide coverage angles to 
ultra-narrow, long throw systems, the task of designing an acoustically and economically effective sound system 
has never been easier.   In many cases, a small number of R-Series loudspeakers can provide top quality 
sound for a surprisingly large physical area, making them one of the most acoustically and economically 
effective solutions available anywhere.  Visit

R-Series Applications 

R-Series products are designed for permanent installation or portable use both outdoors and indoors.  The 
primary applications for Community’s R-Series are those where re-entrant horns, outdoor two-way horn/woofer 
loudspeakers, and some larger horn loudspeakers typically are used but lack capability for both high quality 
music reproduction and longer distance voice projection.  
 
R-Series products are ideally suited for athletic fields (football, soccer, baseball, tennis) and field houses, theme 
parks, amusement parks, swimming pools, ski slopes, cruise ships, steeple carillons, fairgrounds, rodeos, small 
arenas, racing tracks, air shows, skating rinks, convention centers, factories, warehouses, and portable sound 
systems. They can complement Community WET Series II products for projects needing a combination of both 
longer and shorter-throw applications.
