DESCRIPTION
The R2-6 4MAX is a three-way, full-range loudspeaker system designed to provide "No Compromises" premium music reproduction at very high output levels, and also improves the legendary R2 voice projection and intelligibilit y capabilities. It is designed with the same material s and cons truction as the standard R2 for extreme weather resistance, and can withstand long-term exposure to tough environmental conditions.
The R2-M AX is constructed with premium components in a biamp format to maximally optimize its performance. It uses a 1.4" exit HF compression driver that features a copper shorting ring and hybrid diaphragm to reduce resonances while maintaining excellent HF e xtension. Operated with a high crossover frequenc y, the large HF driver maintains very high headroom, delivering eor tless performance. The dual, high power 12" LF drivers feature an aluminum demodulation ring for ver y clean, low distortion performance. The midrange features a higher performance version of the legendary low compression ratio M200 2" exit compression driver, achieving 3dB greater output with extremely low distortion. The passive MF/HF horn signal aligns the drivers for the best possible music and speech per formance. The result is an excellent loudspeaker system that is capable of exceeding expectations in any application.
FEATURES
• Modern stadium loudspeaker, designed to meet the needs of today's sporting venues for superb musicality, excellent speech intelligibility and very high output
• Signal aligned passive MF/HF horn coaxially mounted in front of electronically signal aligned LF drivers
• Large format 1.4" exit HF, high output M200HP, and premium high output LF drivers
• High sensitivity and very high output (133 dB max), with flat extended frequency response

NOTES
1. PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS All measurements are taken indoor using a time­windowed and processed signal to eliminate room eects, approximating an anechoic environment, a distance of 6.0 m. All acoustic specifications are rounded to the nearest whole number. An external DSP with settings provided by Community Professional Loudspeakers is required to achieve the specified performance; further performance gains can be realized using Community’s dSPEC226 loudspeaker processor with FIR power response optimization.
2. OPERATING RANGE The frequency range in which the on-axis processed response remains within 10dB of the average SPL.
3. CONTINUOUS POWER HANDLING Maximum continuous input voltage (and the equivalent power rating, in watts, at the stated nominal impedance) that the system can withstand, without damage, for a period of 2 hours using an EIA-426-B defined spectrum; with recommended signal processing and protection filters.
4. NOMINAL SENSITIVITY Averaged SPL over the operating range with an input voltage that would produce 1 Watt at the nominal impedance and the averaged SPL over the operating range with a fixed input voltage of 2.83V, respectively; swept sine wave axial measurements with no external processing applied in whole space, except where indicated.

5. NOMINAL MAXIMUM SPL Calculated based on nominal / peak power handling, respectively, and nominal sensitivity; exclusive of power compression.
6. EQUALIZED SENSITIVITY The respective SPL levels produced when an EIA-426-B signal is applied to the equalized loudspeaker system at a level which produces a total power of 1 Watt, in sum, to the loudspeaker subsections and also at a level which produces a total voltage, in sum, of 2.83V to the loudspeaker subsections, respectively; each referenced to a distance of 1 meter.
7. EQUALIZED MAXIMUM SPL The SPL produced when an EIA-426-B signal is applied to the equalized loudspeaker system, at a level which drives at least one subsection to its rated continuous input voltage limit, referenced to a distance of 1 meter. The peak SPL represents the 2:1 (6dB) crest factor of the EIA-426-B test signal.
8. AXIAL PROCESSED RESPONSE The on-axis variation in acoustic output level with frequency of the complete loudspeaker system with recommended signal processing applied. 1/6 octave Gaussian smoothing applied.
9. AXIAL SENSITIVITY The on-axis variation in acoustic output level with frequency for a 1 Watt swept sine wave, referenced to 1 meter with no signal processing. 1/6 octave Gaussian smoothing applied.

10. HORIZONTAL / VERTICAL OFF-AXIS RESPONSES The loudspeaker’s magnitude response at various angles o-axis, with recommended signal processing applied in the operating mode which utilizes the largest number of individually amplified pass bands. 1/6 octave Gaussian smoothing applied.
11. DIRECTIVITY INDEX The ratio of the on-axis SPL squared to the mean squared SPL at the same distance for all points within the measurement sphere for each given frequency; expressed in dB. 1/6 octave Gaussian smoothing applied.
12. BEAMWIDTH The angle between the -6dB points in the polar response of the loudspeaker when driven in the operating mode which utilizes the largest number of individually amplified pass bands. 1/6 octave Gaussian smoothing applied.
Data presented on this spec sheet represents a selection of the basic performance specifications for the model. These specifications are intended to allow the user to perform a fair, straightforward evaluation and comparison with other loudspeaker spec sheets.
