Advanced Construction
S-Series cabinets are constructed of solid
11-ply cross-laminated birch plywood,
equipped with protective steel grilles, and
finished with a durable two-part catalyzed
polyester paint.
Sophisticated Internal
Electronics
S-Series circuit design features carefully
engineered crossovers, a Passive/Bi-amp
switch on full-range models, and
Community’s exclusive DYNA-TECH™
three-stage protective limiter. DYNA-TECH
protects against driver damage, even under
the most abusive conditions.
Superior HF Driver
Technology
Community’s Ferrofluid™ treated UC1 high
frequency compression driver represents a major
advance in electro-acoustic technology.
Featuring ring-radiator topology and a nonmetallic diaphragm, the UC1 provides extended
high frequencies, unparalleled transient
response, and reduced distortion over
conventional drivers.
Hand-Laid Fiberglass
Waveguides
Community’s hand-laid fiberglass waveguides
are known for letting you put the sound where
you want it. Superior pattern control provides
greater freedom in loudspeaker placement, plus
increased gain-before-feedback, while durable
fiberglass construction eliminates distortioncausing resonances.
Carbon Ring Cone
Technology
Community’s patent-pending Carbon Ring Cone
Technology is used on all full-range lowfrequency drivers to provide reduced distortion,
enhanced transient response, and 30% greater
cone area than conventional cone drivers.
Music / Voice Presence
Switch
S-Series full-range models are equipped
with a Music / Voice Presence switch that
enables the user to easily modify the
system to suit the acoustical environment
by re-voicing the loudspeaker’s tonal
balance for increased articulation in the
vocal range.
Cool-Coil™ Driver
Technology
Community’s patented Cool-Coil™ heat
evacuation technology used in the S-215S and
S-218S subwoofers minimizes cone driver
power compression and ensures long-term
reliability.
