DESCRIPTION OF THE 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 www.communitypro.com to learn more about the entire R-Series family
including R6, R2, R1, R.5, R.25, RSH and RMG systems.
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.
R2 FEATURES
The Community R2 loudspeakers are three-way, triaxial, full-range systems. Completely horn-loaded and with
an enclosure constructed of fiberglass, they are highly weather-resistant. easy to install, and produce very high
output for their size. These unique products are based around the M200 midrange driver and excel at both voice
projection and full-range, high-fidelity music reproduction. These loudspeakers are very efficient, have amazing
bass response, and produce high output: 130 dB SPL @ 1m. Additionally, unique coverage patterns in the R2
Series provide a range and evenness of coverage not available with conventional loudspeakers
DRIVERS
R2 loudspeakers feature a 1” exit, titanium compression driver for HF, the 2” exit M200 midrange compression
driver and two 12” FerroFluid-cooled woofers. Additionally, the R2-52 loudspeaker has two M200 midrange
drivers. The low frequency cones have been treated with a special water-resistant coating to make them non-
hygroscopic.
CROSSOVER
The drivers are acoustically mated through a high quality three-way passive crossover using 250V mylar
capacitors and precision wound coils. The crossover incorporates Community’s proprietary DYNA-TECH
TM
protection circuitry to help prevent damage from excessive input power. The input signal to the crossover is
provided through a 16-2 SJOW cable with stripped ends, held captive to the enclosure by a weather-tight gland-
nut.
