Community L Series
LVH-900 Beamforming Venue Horn
Installation & Operation Guide
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Biamp's Community L SERIES LVH-900 Beamforming Venue
Horn, combined with the Community Amplified Loudspeaker
Controllers (ALCs), precisely tailor the directivity of each
loudspeaker, or array of loudspeakers, to meet the sound
requirements in any application.
Designed for exceptional performance in large venues,
each LVH-900 model consists of four 12-inch LF drivers,
three Community M200E midrange compression drivers
and four 1.5-inch HF compression drivers. Using patent-
pending techniques, all drivers integrate into a single triaxial
waveguide that fills the entire 36 x 31-inch face of the
enclosure, providing pattern control to below 400 Hz. The
LVH-900 models offer 60 or 90 degrees of fixed horizontal
dispersion.
The LVH-900 Active Standard (AS) models allow DSP
settings and control of individual driver pairs to provide
uniform sound to the audience areas. The LVH-900/AS
models have presets for vertical dispersion beamforming in
60°, 40°, 20° configurations.

The LVH-900 Active-Plus (AP) models use advanced
FIR techniques to seamlessly combine the output of two
loudspeakers into one coherent wavefront, providing higher
output or wider coverage patterns. LVH-900/AP models
have presets for vertical dispersion beamforming in 100°,
80°, 20° configurations.
Typical applications include music and speech reinforcement
for large houses of worship, stadiums, theaters, and much
more. Possessing advanced features, highly-focused
dispersion patterns, weather-resistant construction, and
most importantly sonic excellence, LVH-900 loudspeakers
make installations not only fast and simple, but as functionally
effective as possible.
