DESCRIPTION

The R.15COAX is a two-way, full-range loudspeaker system
designed to provide high quality voice and music reproduction
in applications requiring extreme weather resistance. It
is designed to withstand long-term exposure to tough,
environmental conditions and to provide performance
normally associated only with indoor loudspeakers. The
R.15COAX has a 1.25-inch (32mm) exit HF compression driver
and an 6.5-inch (165mm) carbon ring cone LF driver. The HF
assembly is coaxially mounted with the LF driver allowing
wide 100° coverage with low distortion. The flange-less
cone design provides a cone area nearly equivalent to a
typical 8-inch driver cone.

The Music / Voice switch provides an out-of-the-box
selectable response allowing for additional application
flexibility. The design uses Community's proprietary
Tru-Phase™ phase plug to provide wide dispersion, low
distortion and increased intelligibility. The enclosure is
sealed to provide maximum vocal clarity and increased
intelligibility. The sealed enclosure also provides supreme
weather protection for all of the interior components.

Community strives to improve its products on a continual basis. Specications are therefore subject to change without notice.

ARCHITECTURAL SPECIFICATIONS

The loudspeaker system shall be a two-way, full-range modified trapezoidal design with one 6.5-inch (165mm) high-output LF driver and one

1.25-inch (32mm) exit HF driver mounted coaxially. Drivers shall be connected to an integral crossover with a crossover frequency of 1.3 kHz. The
input connections shall be an NL4-type connector and a terminal strip. There is also a 2-position switch for voice or music applications and a selector
switch for autoformer tap or low impedance operation. The loudspeaker enclosure shall be matte finish high impact ABS plastic with a 1mm perforated
steel grille backed by NeverWet™ treated polyester mesh and open cell foam. There shall be two M8 rigging points, and an included steel dual-layer
powder-coated mounting yoke. Integrated ribbing and internal reinforcements provide added structural support. The system shall have a frequency
response of 125 Hz to 12.5 kHz (-3 dB SPL) and an input capability of 35V RMS. At the music setting, it shall have a sensitivity at 1W / 1m, 8 ohms nominal
impedance, of 94 dB (125 Hz - 10 kHz) and 92 dB (250 Hz - 4 kHz). At the voice setting, it shall have a sensitivity at 1W / 1m, 8 ohms nominal impedance,
of 95 dB (125 Hz - 10 kHz) and 93 dB (250 Hz - 4 kHz). The nominal dispersion shall be 100° H x 100° V from 2 kHz to 10 kHz. The loudspeaker shall be
9" (229mm) H (front) x 10.2" (259mm) W x 10.2" (259mm) D and shall weigh 17 lbs (7.7 kg) including the mounting yoke.

CAUTION: Installation of loudspeakers should only be performed by trained and qualified personnel.

It is strongly recommended that a licensed and certified professional structural engineer approve the mounting design.
