VERIS is synonymous with versatility. The original VERIS Series from
Community included forward-thinking loudspeakers for system
designers, contractors and sound engineers to solve challenging
acoustical problems. The all-new VERIS 2 Series is an expanded
collection of eleven elegantly-styled models that range from small
format enclosures for distributed systems and ancillary delay
applications, to moderate sized three-way systems for demanding
front-of-house requirements. The VERIS 2 Series is a comprehensive
family of two-way, three-way and subwoofer systems designed
for a wide variety of installed sound reinforcement and playback
applications in restaurants, pubs, health clubs, worship centers,
theaters, auditoria and concert halls. This cost-effective, high
performance loudspeaker family offers great musical sound quality,
high intelligibility and uniform voicing.
THE VERIS 2 FAMILY
The VERIS 2 family includes eleven high performance loudspeakers in
three categories: Compact Systems, Large Two-Way and Three-Way
Systems and Subwoofer Systems. All are available in standard black
or white paint nishes and include threaded mounting points for use
with a wide range of optional accessory brackets.
The four Compact Systems include a 6-inch, 8-inch, dual 6-inch
and dual 8-inch model, designed for surface mount and distributed
applications in schools, restaurants, public lobbies, worship chapels
and other spaces. Constant-directivity rotatable horns allow these
compact loudspeakers to be mounted horizontally for underbalcony
and low-ceiling applications. The dual-woofer V2-26 and V2-28
models feature frequency-shaded woofers to maintain smooth
vertical pattern control. All Compact VERIS 2 Systems are also
offered in optional “T” versions with a built-in autoformer for 70V
and 100V applications and include a standard yoke for horizontal or
vertical mounting, together with an optional standoff that enables 10°
or 20° of downward vertical tilt.
The Large VERIS 2 Systems include both two-way and three-way
12-inch and 15-inch models. The two-way V2-12 and V2-15, designed
for sound reinforcement and playback in mid-sized to large spaces,
are available in 60° x 40° format for mid/long-throw applications
and 90° x 60° format for short-throw applications. The three-way
12-inch V2-32 and 15-inch V2-35 include a horn loaded 6.5-inch
midrange transducer and are offered in 60° x 40° and 90° x 40°
coverage patterns, with the midrange and high frequency transducers
integrated in a rotatable hand-laid berglass waveguide that provides
accurate pattern control and a smooth transition through the
crossover frequencies.
Finally, three versatile Subwoofer Systems round out the VERIS 2
family: the compact dual 10-inch V2-210S is designed for tight spaces
and low-to mid-level applications, the V2-212S is a dual 12-inch model
designed for mid to high-level installations, and the all-new high
output V2-215S includes dual 15-inch cone drivers to achieve the
depth-of-response needed for larger venues. VERIS 2 subwoofers
may be arrayed for cardioid or steered pattern control using
Community’s free S4 Subwoofer Steering Simulation Software. All
VERIS 2 subwoofers feature Community’s patented Cool-Coil™ heat
evacuation technology to minimize cone driver power compression
and ensure long-term reliability.

HIGH PERFORMANCE BY DESIGN
CONNECT WITH VERIS 2
Music and speech are elemental to the human experience. A VERIS 2
sound system enhances the connection between the presenter and
audience, bringing depth to the occasion. Whether it’s the
inspiration of the spoken word, the experience of coming closer to
the music, or the excitement of high-impact dance beats, VERIS 2
provides an acoustic intimacy like never before.
UNIFORM VOICING, UNIFORM DESIGN
VERIS 2’s constant-directivity horns and waveguides are supported
by unique and individually-voiced crossovers in each full-range model
plus frequency-shaded woofers on the dual-woofer models, resulting
in uniform voicing throughout the family and smoothly controlled
vertical and horizontal dispersion patterns. VERIS 2 loudspeakers
were developed as a family - a uniform design approach provides
for consistent appearance throughout the line, together with similar
voicing and harmonized sonic characteristics. When larger models
are selected for front of house, and smaller models as ancillary delay
loudspeakers to cover balcony, side, and underbalcony areas, the
sound quality will remain consistent throughout the room. With
eleven basic models to choose from, and the four larger models
offering a choice of horn patterns, it’s easy to match an appropriate
VERIS 2 loudspeaker to every section of your venue.
CONTROLLED COVERAGE
Nothing about sound system design is more important than
directing the sound eld where intended, to the listeners. Keeping
unnecessary sonic energy off wall, oor and ceiling surfaces is the
rst step in producing clear and intelligible results. VERIS 2 handles
this with ease. Community’s pattern-control horn technology,
combined with an assortment of rigging and mounting brackets,
enables the system designer to create clusters and arrays that
precisely direct the sound eld where it’s needed, in even the most
challenging acoustical environments.
VERSATILITY
Whether you’re designing a powerful music system for a
contemporary worship center, or a distributed system for a shopping
mall, there’s a VERIS 2 product that ts. All models are available in
white or black at no extra charge, and the compact V2-6, V2-8,
V2-26 and V2-28 come equipped with yoke brackets as standard
items. Additionally, these same four models may be ordered with an
optional internal low-loss, low-distortion autoformer for 70V and
100V distributed systems. Designers will appreciate the choice of
coverage patterns in the larger 12-inch and 15-inch loudspeakers,
as well as the rotatable horns in the four compact models and the
three-way systems. A wide choice of optional mounting brackets
makes installation easy and straightforward.
ADVANCED ELECTRONICS
Advanced internal electronics are an important part of why VERIS 2
loudspeakers sound so good - sophisticated internal crossover
networks provide reduced off-axis lobing and consistent coverage
throughout the crossover region. Carefully engineered circuit designs
are coupled with Community’s exclusive DYNA-TECH™ multi-stage
protective limiter. Using the power of the amplier, DYNA-TECH
protection circuitry reduces the likelihood of driver damage under
abusive operating conditions.
VERIS 2 ACCESSORIES
VERIS 2 mounting accessories make installation easy in vertical, horizontal or multi-loudspeaker format.
YOKE BRACKETS
Available in black or white, these
U-shaped yoke brackets are included
with all Compact VERIS 2 Systems and
are optional for the Large Full-Range
Systems. Yoke brackets allow for direct
horizontal or vertical mounting of the
loudspeaker to a wall or ceiling. An
optional standoff is included which
permits 10º or 20º of vertical upward
or downward tilt.
VERTICAL YOKE KIT
Vertical mounting yokes are offered for
all full-range models, from the compact
V2-6 to the largest model V2-35. The
Vertical Yoke Kit allows for precise
installation from an overhead yoke of
a single full-range VERIS 2 loudspeaker
with up to 90° of vertical downtilt.
TILTING BRACKET
The Tilting Bracket, model VB-TILT, is a
versatile, two-part rotational bracket
that can be used in combination with a
VERIS 2 Yoke or Vertical Yoke to fasten
one enclosure to another with varying
aiming angles. Available in black or
white, the Tilting Bracket can be used
with all full-range VERIS 2 enclosures
and may also be combined with the
Ceiling Mount Kit.
VERTICAL FLYING KIT

VERIS 2 TECHNOLOGIES
HIGH FREQUENCY
DRIVER TECHNOLOGY
At the heart of VERIS 2’s great
performance are advanced Community
transducers starting with the new,
extended-range, high-power, 1-inch
high frequency compression driver
used in every full-range VERIS 2 model.
This unique, non-metallic high frequency
compression driver represents a major advance in electro-acoustic
technology, providing extended high frequencies, unparalleled
transient response, and radically reduced distortion over that of
conventional drivers that use brittle metallic diaphragms. The voice
coil is gap treated with Ferrouid™, a viscous dampening uidic
compound that further lowers distortion. Simultaneously, the
uid reduces power compression and increases power handling by
improving the coefcient of heat transfer between the diaphragm
and the magnet structure. The result is a smooth and effortless
sound quality.
CUTTING-EDGE CONE DRIVER
TECHNOLOGIES
Community cone drivers employ multiple engineering advancements
for unmatched performance. All VERIS 2 subwoofers include
patented Cool-Coil™ heat evacuation technology, which reduces
cone driver power compression and increases long-term reliability.
Meanwhile, all full-range LF drivers feature Community’s patented
Carbon Ring Cone Technology™ to reduce distortion, improve
transient response, and provide as much as 30% greater cone area
than that of conventional cone drivers of the same rated size.
HAND-LAID FIBERGLASS
WAVEGUIDES
Our geometrically correct hand-laid
berglass waveguides used on larger
12-inch and 15-inch VERIS models puts
the sound where it’s needed. Their
superior pattern control provides
greater freedom in loudspeaker
placement, plus signicantly increased
gain-before-feedback. Durable
berglass construction holds up
under day-in and day-out use, while
the natural characteristics of glass
lamination eliminate the distortioncausing resonances inherent in other
horn materials.
SOLID
CONSTRUCTION
VERIS 2 loudspeakers feature rugged 11-ply, 18mm cross-laminated
Birch enclosures, coated with a two-part catalyzed polyester paint
for durability, as well as protective steel grilles covered with a robust
powder-coat nish. All enclosures include multiple load-rated
threaded rigging ttings.
VERSATILT BRACKET
The Ver satilt Bracket, model VB-VST,
is a combination of the Tilting Bracket
and the Ceiling Mount Kit with an
additional bracket that fastens to the
top or bottom of a VERIS 2 12-inch or
15-inch full-range enclosure. Available
in black or white, the Versatilt Bracket
allows highly exible horizontal and
vertical aiming of a VERIS 2 loudspeaker.
An M10 eyebolt is included as a safety
mounting point.
SEAT TRACK KIT
VERIS 2 12-inch and 15-inch
loudspeakers may be own quickly and
easily using a bolt-on Seat Track Kit.
The Seat Track Kit provides a safe and
convenient means of suspending a single
