Electrical Connections and Cabling R SERIES input is via an attached 16-gauge SJOW cable rated for outdoor use. This cable is approximately 12 feet (4m) in length. The table below shows the input connections for each model. Note that selected 70V/100V models have selector switches in place of the multi-wire cable. -

R.5, R.5HP, R.5COAX, R.5SUB and R.25 will maintain an IEC 60529 rating of IP55W. FOR MORE INFORMATION For more information on installing and operating your R SERIES loudspeaker, please refer to the “Installation and Connections” section of this manual or go to Community’s web site at www.communitypro.com. -

In many cases, a small number of R SERIES loudspeakers can provide top quality sound for a surprisingly large physical area, making them one of the most acoustically and economically effective solutions available anywhere. -

R SERIES MODELS The R SERIES family features 32 models that range in capability from short throw usage for local area fill (about 30 to 50 feet), to extremely long throw capable of reaching across an entire stadium (about 700 feet). A wide selection of coverage angles and power output capabilities characterize this versatile product line. -

Inputs R SERIES input is via an attached 16 Gauge SJOW cable rated for outdoor use. This cable is approximately 12 feet (4m) in length. The Technical Information section shows the input connections for each model. Note that some 70V/100V models have selector switches in place of the multi-wire cable. - Page 13 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION AND SAFETY (continued) However, in most cases, using transformer versions of the R SERIES loudspeakers along with 70.7-volt or 100-volt amplification will yield the best performance at a reasonable cost. In this approach, the need for larger gauge wire will be reduced.
- Page 14 -3dB frequency. A good choice of f is the same frequency as the recommended high-pass filter for the chosen R SERIES model. The impedance seen by the power amplifier will be 8-ohms for a single R SERIES model, 4-ohms for a pair of loudspeakers in parallel and 2-ohms for four loudspeakers in parallel.

See the charts on pages 5-7 or the Technical Information Section near the end of this manual for details about a specific model. For additional information, Community’s web site includes a technical note on the design of 70-volt/100-volt distributed systems.

The second area of responsibility is the loudspeaker itself. Community certifies its loudspeaker systems for suspension when they are properly installed according to our published guidelines. - Page 17 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION AND SAFETY (continued) Using Yoke Brackets Community provides one yoke-type mounting bracket with each R.25 or R.5 loudspeaker. In most cases, this will be the preferred hardware for mounting these products. The yoke attaches to the sides of the cabinet with the provided fasteners.

For most applications, the installing contractor or professional engineer might deem necessary (or advisable) that R SERIES cabinets be installed with a secondary means of attachment such as a safety cable. In fact, some local building codes and other regulations may require safety cables, chains or other secondary supports due to seismic concerns, excessive wind loads, etc. -
Page 19: Important Installation Notes
Always use outdoor-rated cable. Always seal connections in a weather-tight electrical box. IMPORTANT: If the above instructions are not observed, the weather-resistant integrity of an R SERIES loudspeaker can be compromised. This can result in damage to or failure of the hardware or internal components. -

CHOOSING THE RIGHT LOUDSPEAKERS AND ELECTRONICS Choose R SERIES models with high enough maximum SPL to provide the needed SPL at the farthest listener with an appropriate headroom. Typical headroom factors are at least 6dB for voice paging, at least 10dB for voice reinforcement and at least 20dB for music reinforcement. -
