VERIS 2 | VERsatile Installation Systems
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 amplier, 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
The Vertical Flying Kit, model VFKIT, couples two same-size 12-inch or 15-inch full-range VERIS 2 enclosures. Available in black or white, the VFKIT
allows a pair of enclosures to be own
at 45° or 60° splay angles. To array three same-size enclosures, use two VFKIT’s. To array four same-size enclosures, use three VFKIT’s. Four M10 eyebolts are included with each VFKIT.

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 Ferrouid™, a viscous dampening uidic
compound that further lowers distortion. Simultaneously, the
uid reduces power compression and increases power handling by improving the coefcient 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 signicantly 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 enclosure. By purchasing multiple kits, one enclosure may be suspended below another.
HANDLE AND STAND SOCKET
The Handle and Stand Socket, model V-HSS, mounts to the M6 mounting points on the back of a VERIS 2 Compact System to create a convenient carrying handle that doubles as a stand socket for portable use.
CEILING MOUNT KIT
The Ceiling Mount Kit, model CMKIT, creates a single mounting point from a ceiling surface. It can be used with VERIS 2 Yokes or Vertical Yoke Kits, or it may be combined with the Tilting
Bracket for additional aiming exibility.
EYEBOLT KITS
Suspend your VERIS 2 loudspeakers safely and easily using M10 or M6 size eyebolt kits.
