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. -

Custom Colors For volume purchases, all R SERIES and WET II products may be ordered in custom color enclosures at a nominal fee to elegantly match their physical installation environment. Please contact Community for a quote on cost and lead time. -
Page 8: Coverage Patterns
This is graphically illustrated in FIGURE 2. FIGURE 2: Asymmetrical coverage of the R2-474 and R2-694 NOTE: To maintain weather-resistance, the R2 cabinet should be aimed at least 5° below 0° geometric axis. Page 8 Installation/Operation Manual R SERIES R2... -
Page 9: Aiming Axis
In contrast to the R2-474 and R2-694, the other R2 models that have symmetrical coverage patterns where the geometric axis and acoustical axis are the same, the geometric axis is normally used to aim the loudspeaker. R SERIES R2 Installation/Operation Manual Page 9... -

These are recommended insulations: polyethylene, neoprene, Teflon™, Silicon™, and Hypalon™. These insulations are not recommended because of potentially shorter life expectancy in outdoor environments: rubber, PVC (polyvinylchloride), polypropylene, polyurethane, and nylon.

filter and to make it relatively tamperproof. IMPORTANT: Operating an R SERIES loudspeaker without the recommended high pass filter will reduce its low frequency power handling and may result in physical damage to the low frequency devices. -

Page 16: Mechanical Installation And Safety
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 17: Maintaining Weather-Resistance
There are several things that must be observed when installing an R2 in order to maintain its weather-resistant integrity for outdoor use. We recommend angling the R SERIES loudspeaker at least 5° downward so as to reduce the possibility of rain and other precipitation compromising the performance of the loudspeaker. -
Page 18: Operating Precautions
Operating Precautions LIMITING Community recommends use of a limiter to help prevent loudspeaker damage due to sudden transients (dropped microphones, etc.) or amplifier clipping. When used for this purpose, connect the limiter as the last item in the signal chain before the power amplifier (at the input to the power amplifier). Although R2s have built-in DYNA- TECH protection circuitry to help prevent damage to the drivers from excessive power, electronic limiting is strongly recommended. -
Page 19: System Optimization
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 6 dB for voice paging, at least 10 dB for voice reinforcement and at least 20 dB for music reinforcement. -
