S-SERIES OPERATION MANUAL

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for selecting Community’s S-Series. S-Series is a family of affordable, linear-

response loudspeakers designed for use in applications requiring controlled coverage

patterns, high-impact power response, with clear and intelligible sonic output. All models

are designed with portability in mind, but they are equally effective in permanent or semi-

permanent installations.

The S-Series family of products is well suited for use in nightclubs, cafes, discotheques,

houses of worship, auditoriums, meeting rooms, theatres, outdoor concerts, and most

anywhere else that people gather to enjoy music and hear the spoken word.

S-Series loudspeakers are flexible, easy to set up and use, and most importantly they

provide superb sound quality.

This Operation Manual is intended to help you use S-Series loudspeakers effectively and

safely. It provides useful information to assist you in obtaining the best performance,

sound quality, and reliability from your S-Series products.

We’ve provided several easy-to-understand diagrams to enable you to operate your S-

Series loudspeakers immediately if required; however, we recommend that you read the

entire manual to insure that your use of S-Series for shows, events, and installations meet

the highest possible standards.

S-SERIES FEATURES AND TECHNOLOGY

S-Series loudspeakers offer numerous features and 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.

• Selectable crossover modes (bi-amped or passive single-amped).

• Carbon Ring Cone Technology; used on all full-range low-frequency drivers for

reduced distortion, enhanced transient response, and 30% greater cone area than

conventional cone drivers (patent pending).

• Ferrofluid-cooled high-frequency and mid-frequency drivers for improved heat

conductance and dramatically reduced distortion through viscous damping of driver

resonant modes.

• Music / Speech PRESENCE Switch re-voices the loudspeaker’s tonal balance for

increased articulation in the vocal range.

• Powerful 1-inch-throat high-frequency compression drivers offer extended high-end

response, smooth output, and lower distortion than larger format drivers.

• Non-metallic high-frequency diaphragms provide a further reduction in distortion

by eliminating the mechanical resonance normally associated with brittle metallic

materials.

• Geometrically correct, hand-laid fiberglass mid and high-frequency waveguides.

• Community’s patented Cool-Coil

heat evacuation technology minimizes cone

driver power compression and ensures long-term reliability (used in subwoofers).
