DESCRIPTION
The R.5-96MAX 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 high output
performance.
The R.5-96MAX has a 1.4-inch (36 mm) exit HF compression
driver and a 12-inch (305 mm) cone 600W neodymium LF
driver. The HF assembly is coaxially mounted with the LF
driver allowing 90° x 60° coverage with low distortion. The
system has been designed to provide a at response with
slightly rising HF.
The R.5-96MAX can act as both a musical entertainment
loudspeaker and a voice PA loudspeaker simultaneously.
Each system is backed by Community’s ve-year product
warranty and fteen-year enclosure warranty.
Community strives to improve its products on a continual basis. Specications are therefore subject to change without notice.

NOTES:
1. Operating range and frequency response parameters are stated with DSP
equalization applied.
2. Calculated based on power rating and sensitivity, exclusive of power
compression.
3. Raw driver or system response prior to applying any lters for frequency
response or power response correction.
4. Recommended equalization as published in the Community Loudspeaker Library
within Community's Resyn™ software.
5. Free eld anechoic sensitivity, calculated using input voltage that would produce
1W at the nominal impedance.
6. Community's dSPEC226 loudspeaker signal processor DSP and Resyn™
software include CONEQ™ 1000 point FIR lter power response correction lters
within the precongured speaker le for this model of loudspeaker.

ARCHITECTURAL SPECIFICATIONS
The loudspeaker system shall be a two-way, full-range design with one 12-inch (305 mm) high-output LF driver and one 1.4-inch (36 mm) exit HF driver
coaxially mounted to a 90° x 60° molded ABS horn. Drivers shall be connected to an integral crossover with a crossover frequency of 900 Hz. The input
connection shall be one 12' (3.6 m) SJOW #16-gauge cable with stripped ends. The loudspeaker enclosure shall be matte nish rotomolded linear low
density polyethylene providing weather and UV resistance with a 1 mm perforated stainless steel grille backed by water-resistant treated polyester mesh
and open cell foam. The steel grille shall be powder-coated with a proprietary zinc-rich epoxy dual-layer powder-coating process color-matched to the
enclosure. The enclosure shall incorporate ve 3/8"-16 rigging points for multiple mounting options. The system shall have an IEC529 IP rating of IP55W
with a minimum 5-degree downward aiming angle. The system shall have a frequency response of 95 Hz to 20 kHz (-3 dB SPL) and an input capability
of 69V RMS. It shall have a sensitivity of 102 dB (125 hz - 10 kHz) and 103 dB (250 Hz - 4 kHz) at 1W / 1m at 8 ohms nominal impedance. The nominal
dispersion shall be 90°H x 60°V from 1.6 kHz to 10 kHz. The loudspeaker shall be 16 in. (406 mm) H x 16 in. (406 mm) W x 16.19 in. (411 mm) D and weigh
44 lbs (20 kg). A steel yoke that is powder-coated with the same proprietary process, and color-matched, shall be included with the system.
It is strongly recommended that a licensed and certied professional structural engineer approve the mounting design.
CAUTION: Installation of loudspeakers should only be performed by trained and qualied personnel.
