MX8 MX10
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
MX
The V SERIES MX8 and MX10 stage monitors are designed to be aordable, yet highly eective for a wide range of demanding applications such as houses of worship, scholastic and corporate auditoriums, nightclubs, and numerous other venues that require clarity of speech, musicality, and high power output. The MX8 and MX10 feature a low profile design that does not visually dominate the stage. Both models utilize advanced co-axial drivers to provide true point­source acoustical output—a highly desirable characteristic for loudspeakers that are used in close proximity to microphones.
The LF and HF sections utilize separate magnetic structures for maximum eciency and freedom from intermodulation distortion. The low frequency cones employ Community’s patented Carbon Ring Cone Technology™ which increases the eective area of the cone, while mechanically reinforcing the critical juncture between the cone and the surround for greater durability and longer life span.
The MX8 and MX10 feature exceptionally high sensitivity, permitting the use of smaller power amplifiers to obtain very high output levels. Precision engineered internal crossovers eliminate the need for bi-amplification, further reducing the overall system cost. Characterized by a smooth, flat frequency response coupled with low distortion, both models provide exceptional resistance to feedback. The Tru-Phase™ high frequency waveguide aords precision pattern control to avoid acoustic hot spots on the stage, thereby greatly simplifying the task of the personnel who mix monitors. Community’s Uniform Voicing Technology ensures that the two models are virtually interchangeable with one another, though greater acoustic output and extended low frequency reproduction can be expected from the larger MX10.
Compact, lightweight, attractive, and durable, the MX8 and MX10 are exceptional stage monitors available in black or white finishes. A single rear Ergo-Grip™ handle oers convenience for portable applications.
Optional yoke mounting brackets for flush mounting an MX8 or MX10 monitor tightly against a wall or ceiling are sold separately (part no. MX-Y8 and MX-Y10). Corner mounting is also possible when the yoke is mounted vertically and the loudspeaker horizontally with the bottom and rear of the enclosure against adjacent walls, further aided by the convenient location of the input panel on the bottom rear of the loudspeaker enclosure. The brackets are also available in black or white finishes to match the loudspeaker color.
The V SERIES MX8 and MX10 stage monitors are the perfect complement to any of Community’s Front of House systems including the ENTASYS column line­array, powerful I SERIES product lines, and the rest of the versatile V SERIES line.

SHIPPING DAMAGE
If the product is damaged during transit you must file a damage claim directly with the freight company. Be sure to save the carton and packing materials, as damage claims can be denied if these materials are not retained. If evidence of physical damage exists upon arrival, be cautious before signing a delivery acceptance receipt. Often, the fine print will waive your right to file a claim for damage or loss after you sign it. Make sure that the number of cartons shown on the freight documents have actually been delivered.

INSTALLATION
MX stage monitors can be placed on a stage or floor, or can be permanently mounted to a surface using the appropriate yoke (MX-Y8 or MX-Y10). Instructions for yoke attachment are included with the yokes.
Wired / cable connections can be made to the input panel using the terminal block or NL4-type connectors.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Modern professional power amplifiers are capable of delivering lethal voltages. Installation and service personnel must be cautious to ensure that all amplifiers are disconnected from the AC Mains supply whenever such personnel might potentially come in contact with un-insulated wiring.
When installing the bracket and loudspeaker, or otherwise suspending the loudspeaker by any other means, it is essential to adhere to safe rigging and construction practices. Installation of loudspeakers should only be performed by trained and qualified personnel and it is strongly recommended that a licensed and certified professional structural engineer approve the mounting design.
