Page 6: Important Safety Information
The terms IMPORTANT, WARNING, and DANGER are used throughout this manual to alert the reader to important safety considerations. If you have any questions or do not understand the meaning of these terms, do not proceed with installation. Contact your local dealer, distributor, or call Community directly for assistance. These terms are defined below: IMPORTANT: describes an operating condition or user action that may expose the equipment or user to potential damage or danger. -

However, we recommend that you read this manual in its entirety, to ensure that your R-Series installation meets the highest possible standards. While every attempt has been made to ensure this information is correct and up-to-date, Community continuously incorporates worthwhile improvements to each product which may include changes and/or modifications not contained in this manual. - Page 13 Choose the three-way, higher-output R.5HP for medium-throw, full-range applications such as covering the stands at a high-school football stadium. Add the R.5SUB to any R.5 or R.25 system to provide low-frequency support for music.

Horn Technology Community is the originator and master of fiberglass horn manufacturing. The horns used in many WET II and R-Series loudspeakers are constructed as one-piece, precision waveguides by hand-crafting on a precision mold using 100% hand-laminated fiberglass. - Page 15 FEATURES Weather-Stop™ Grille Each enclosure is fitted with Community’s proprietary Weather-Stop™ protective grille. The grille consists of a corrosion-resistant outer layer of perforated steel with a proprietary zinc-rich epoxy dual-layer powder coat finish in light grey, a center layer of UV-resistant reticulated foam, and an inner layer of fine-mesh screen made from a UV-resistant synthetic material that blocks rain and fights rusting.

The R.5COAX two-way, full-range loudspeaker system provides the same quality sound as the other members of the R.5 family. Its wide range, smooth frequency response and high efficiency ensure both high fidelity music reproduction and superb projection of clear intelligible speech with very low distortion. -

Positive voltage applied to the + wire produces positive acoustic pressure at the mouth of the loudspeaker. Impedance R.5 and R.25 loudspeakers are rated at 8-ohms nominal impedance. The impedance of transformer versions (“T” suffix) depends on the tap chosen. -

Figure 1: Recommended Cable Gauge Recommended High-Pass Filter Community recommends use of a high-pass filter to prevent over-excursion of the LF driver from lower frequencies that it is not designed to reproduce. See the Specifications section for the recommended high-pass filter for each model. -

INSTALLATION Use of Limiters 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). Set the limiter’s “threshold”... - Page 21 70-volt lines. For 100-volt lines, use a pair of 10,000-ohm resistors. Bi-amplification R.5 and R.25 products include an internal passive crossover network. They are not designed for biamplification. 70-Volt, 100-Volt Autoformer Transformer versions (“T” suffix) include an internal 200W, 70/100V autoformer or transformer. For 70V lines the input taps are 200W, 100W, 50W and 25W.

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. -

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. - Page 24 Community does offer in its catalog forged, rated eyebolts intended for rigging loudspeakers. However, these eyebolts are not rated for outdoor use and the shank is too long for the threaded inserts on R.25 and R.5 loudspeakers. Using an eyebolt with too long of a shank will not permit the eyebolt shoulder to properly seat against the exterior of the cabinet.
- Page 25 96 dB SPL on the A Scale (speech range). Consider a high-school football stadium where the crowd noise is 86 dBA. At the recommended distance, an R.25 or R.5 would provide 10 dB headroom above the crowd noise. Even if the crowd noise reaches 90 dBA, the R.25 or R.5 would still provide 6 dB of headroom which is acceptable for voice paging and announcement systems (use a limiter to avoid clipping).

Page 26: Important Installation Notes
Installation Equipment Manufacturers’ Association (EIEMA). We recommend angling the R.5 or R.25 loudspeaker at least 15 degrees downward so as to reduce the pos- sibility of rain and other precipitation compromising the performance of the loudspeaker. The R.5 or R.25 will maintain an EIEMA rating of IP51 in this orientation. -

(or both). Note that R-Series loudspeakers are factory voiced to optimize their speech intelligibility and musical sound quality. For this reason, many designers find they can minimize overall system equalization and still achieve excellent voice intelligibility and musical sound quality.
