Venues such as nightclubs, cafes, discotheques, houses of worship, auditoriums, lecture halls, restaurants, theatres, and almost anywhere else that people gather to enjoy music or hear the spoken word, are within the ability of the VERIS 2 line to respond with acoustical perfection.
Page 7: Veris 2 Technologies
VERIS 2 TECHNOLOGIES VERIS 2 loudspeakers offer numerous advances in technology that provide superb sound and long- term reliability. Some of these include:  Sophisticated internal crossover networks for reduced off-axis lobing and consistent coverage throughout the crossover region. ...
Page 8: Unpacking And Inspection
UNPACKING AND INSPECTION VERIS 2 loudspeakers are inherently rugged and are carefully packed in sturdy cartons. However, it is wise to thoroughly inspect each unit after it has been removed from the packaging, as damage could occur during shipping. Please note that once the shipment has left your dealer or the Community factory, the responsibility for damage is always borne by the freight company.

Page 13: General Description
GENERAL DESCRIPTION VERIS 2 Series loudspeakers are designed for demanding day-to-day use in a wide range of fixed installations. Their high quality driver components are housed in rugged, acoustically inert enclosures equipped with rigging fittings. VERIS 2 systems are characterized by a high- power, low distortion linear response that provides exceptional musicality and speech intelligibility.

This air passing through the pole vent helps to cool the magnet structure. Community has improved on this common cooling method by introducing an airflow director (US patent 6,390,231) into the air path.

Page 16: Connecting The Amplifier To The Loudspeaker
CONNECTING THE AMPLIFIER TO THE LOUDSPEAKER All VERIS 2 Series loudspeakers are provided with two methods of connecting the amplifier to the loudspeaker. One is an industry standard NL4 type locking connector, and the other is a pressure-screw terminal strip. These two connectors are wired in parallel with each other, on all models.
Page 17: Using Power Taps
1+ on an NL4 type connector). USING POWER TAPS A VERIS 2 loudspeaker equipped with an optional autoformer has four 70.7V taps and three 100V taps. The 70.7 volt taps are set at 25W, 50W, 100W and 200W on the two larger models, and 12.5W, 25W, 50W and 100W on the two smaller models.
Page 18: 70.7V And 100V Systems
Asia most constant voltage systems use the 100V standard; in the USA the 70.7 voltage standard is most often utilized. A VERIS 2 loudspeaker equipped with the optional autoformer will support both the 70.7V and 100V standards. The same screw terminals are used for both voltage standards, but the power level of the tap is different, depending on whether the amplifier voltage is 70.7V or...

New! The VERIS 2 line now has the ability to rotate the HF horn to change the axes of widest and narrowest HF dispersion. This new feature applies to V2-6, V2-8, V2-26 and V2-28 models.
Page 23: Positioning Subwoofers
The smallest subwoofer, the VERIS 2-210S, is characterized by an exceptionally tight and punchy sound. The larger VERIS 2-212S adds a deeper low end, but still with a very rapid transient response. The new VERIS 2-215S remains capable of clean and responsive bass reproduction, but with greater power and depth than its smaller siblings.

It will take some trial and error to determine the optimal physical relationships. VERIS 2 – Operation Manual - Page 25...
Page 26: Choosing Appropriate Loudspeaker Models And Appropriate Signal Processors
 Choose VERIS 2 models with high enough maximum power to provide the needed SPL at the farthest listener - with attention paid to maintaining appropriate headroom. Typical headroom factors are at least 6 dB for voice paging, at least 10 dB for voice reinforcement, and as much as 20 dB for music reinforcement.
Page 27: Dspec226 - The Simple And Effective Answer
 VERIS 2 models should be chosen with the best dispersion patterns to cover the audience evenly. Each loudspeaker should be carefully focused towards the listeners while being careful to keep acoustic energy away from walls, ceilings, and other reflective surfaces, including physical obstructions that are caused by architectural elements (such as columns) or furnishings.
Page 28: For More Information And Application Assistance
When equalizing a VERIS 2 loudspeaker system the following points should be kept in mind to achieve the best results and to avoid damaging the drivers. 1. Use only small amounts of equalization. In particular, do not boost frequencies by more than about 3 dB.
Page 29: Rigging / Suspension And Safety
WARNING - NON-COMMUNITY RIGGING HARDWARE: Non-Community hardware used for rigging a VERIS 2 loudspeaker must be certified by the supplier for such use and must be properly rated for safety. IMPORTANT NOTES ON RIGGING LOUDSPEAKERS There are three areas of responsibility for rigging loudspeakers.
Page 30: Veris 2 Mounting Brackets And Accessories
WARNING: VERIS 2 rigging fittings are rated at a Working Load Limit of 100 lbs (45.4kg) with a 10:1 safety margin. No single rigging fitting should ever be subjected to a load that is greater than 100 lbs.
