DESCRIPTION

The WX-1594 is a premium quality, large format, full-range
loudspeaker system. The driver complement consists of a 15"
(381mm) high power low frequency driver and a 1.4" (36mm)
exit / 2.87" (72.9mm) edgewound voice coil compression

driver. The large format rotatable horn are delivers well

controlled 90° x 40° dispersion, and utilizes high order
crossovers to minimize band overlap.

The WX-1594 is used in passive operating mode. The passive
mode is designed to deliver outstanding performance without
the use of a processor. A custom bi-amp option can allow

greater system exibility allowing a compatible processor to

enhance the LF response.

The WET X Series is designed to provide high quality
music and voice reproduction in applications requiring
extreme weather-resistance. The WET X enclosure features
unmatched durability and ruggedness and is engineered for
use in permanent installations.

The loudspeaker enclosure and faceplate are constructed of
multi-layer glass composite lined with 18mm (7-layer) marine
grade plywood, resulting in extreme structural strength.
All exposed hardware is stainless steel or powder-coated
aluminum extrusion. A weather-resistant 304SS, dual-layer
powder-coated horizontal bracket is included for mounting.

Community strives to improve its products on a continual basis. Specications are therefore subject to change without notice.

ARCHITECTURAL SPECIFICATIONS

The loudspeaker system shall be a two-way, full-range bass reex trapezoid-shaped design with one 15 in. (381 mm) LF driver and one 1.4 in. exit HF
driver with a titanium diaphragm mounted to a 90° x 40° HF berglass horn. Drivers shall be connected to an integral crossover with a crossover frequency

of 1.5 kHz. The input connection shall be one 12' (4m) SJOW #16-gauge cable with stripped ends. The loudspeaker enclosure shall be a multi-layer glass
composite with a 16-gauge perforated stainless steel grille backed by open cell foam and a high density polyester mesh cloth. There shall be two 1/2"-13

rigging points. 95% of the shell interior shall be lined with wood, with 18mm 7-layer cross-laminated marine grade plywood on all interior at surfaces. All
wood shall be sealed with berglass resin. The system shall have a frequency response of 50 Hz to 18 kHz (-3 dB SPL), an input capability of 69V RMS,

99 dB sensitivity at 1W / 1m at 8 ohms nominal impedance. The nominal dispersion shall be 90° H x 40° V from 2 kHz to 16 kHz. The loudspeaker shall
be 19.5" (495.3 mm) H x 33.63" (854.1 mm) W (front) x 20.5" (520.7 mm) deep and shall weigh 115 lbs (52.3 kg).

CAUTION: Installation of loudspeakers should only be performed by trained and qualied personnel.

It is strongly recommended that a licensed and certied professional structural engineer approve the mounting design.
