  • Page 13: General Description

    GENERAL DESCRIPTION VERIS 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 systems are characterized by a high- power, low distortion linear response that provides exceptional musicality and speech intelligibility.

  • Page 14: Cool-Coil™ Technology

    The motion of the cone assembly will pump air in and out of the cavity under the dust cap. 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 Series loudspeakers come with two methods of connecting the amplifier to the loudspeaker. One is an industry standard NL4 type locking connector, and the other is a terminal strip. These two connectors are wired in parallel with each other, on all models.

    This approaches a 75% loss of total available power! As you can readily see, it’s very important to use the largest gauge wire that you possibly can, particularly when long lines are unavoidable.

  • Page 45 VERIS 6/8/26/28 Yoke Mounting Bracket The compact VERIS models VERIS 6, VERIS 8, VERIS 26 and VERIS 28 conveniently include a yoke-style mounting bracket for horizontal or vertical mounting, plus optional stand-offs to achieve a 10° or 20° downward vertical tilt. The yoke bracket is fitted with a series of mounting holes as shown in Figure 1 to allow the installer to vary the distance from the enclosure to the mounting surface in order to suit the requirements of the installation.
  • Page 46 Each VERIS 6, VERIS 8, VERIS 26 and VERIS 28 loudspeaker includes an optional U-shaped 10° metal stand- off for vertical mounting of the enclosure at a 10° downward tilt and a 20° metal stand-off for vertical mounting of the enclosure at a 20° downward tilt. If your installation requires a downward vertical tilt, select the appropriate stand-off.
  • Page 47 When placed on its side, the mounting yoke is asymmetrical. The yoke bracket has a discernable “long corner” (10°) and short corner (20°) as depicted in Figure 3 below. For installations where a 10 or 20 degree downward vertical tilt is desired using one of the metal stand-offs, pay special attention to the orientation of the yoke in relation to the “long corner”...
