active protection circuitry aids in reducing the likelihood of damage
under abusive conditions.
• Switchable high-pass output on subwoofers maximizes performance when a full-
range system and a subwoofer are powered by a single amplifier channel.
• Rugged 11-ply cross-laminated Birch enclosures, coated with a two-part catalyzed
polyester paint for durability.
• Protective steel grilles covered with durable powder-coat finish.
• Load rated M10 fly points on tops, bottoms and rear of enclosures for safe & easy
rigging (note: M10 fly points are located on the end panels of the subwoofers).
• Dual NL4-compatible locking connectors, plus dual ¼” jacks allow easy connectivity
with readily available cables.
• Factory designed rigging hardware available from stock.
UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
S-Series loudspeakers are inherently rugged and are carefully packed in sturdy cartons.
However, it’s wise to thoroughly inspect each unit after it has been removed from the
packaging, as damage could occur during shipping.
Please note that once the shipment has left your dealer or the Community factory, the
responsibility for damage is always borne by the freight company. If damage has occurred
during shipping, you must file a claim directly with the freight company. It’s very important
to contact the freight company as soon as possible after receiving your shipment, as most
freight companies have a short time limit within which they will investigate claims. Make
sure to save the carton and the packing material, as most claims will be denied if these
materials are not retained. Your Community dealer and the factory will try to help in any
way they can, but it is the responsibility of the party receiving the shipment to file the
damage claim.
It’s always a good idea to retain the carton and packing materials indefinitely, if possible, in
the event that the unit may need to be returned to your dealer or distributor for repair in
the future.
Each shipping carton contains the following items:
• Loudspeaker System (Qty 1)
• Operation Manual (Qty 1)
• Warranty Card (Qty 1)
DANGER: S-Series rigging fittings are each rated at a Working Load Limit (WLL) of 100 lbs
(45.4kg) with a 10:1 safety margin. No single rigging fitting should ever be subjected to a
load that is greater than this stated limit. Failure to heed this warning could result in injury
or death!
IMPORTANT: The flat-head Allen-drive rigging screws that come installed in each
enclosure must either be replaced with rigging brackets and threaded fasteners, or they
must be kept in place to seal the enclosure from air leaks. If the rigging fittings do not
remain sealed, air leaks will occur in the enclosure that will compromise the low-frequency
performance with distortion and reduced output.
