R-SERIES MODELS
The R-Series family features 22 models that range in capability from short throw usage for local area fill (about
30 to 50 feet), to extremely long throw capable of reaching across an entire stadium (about 700 feet). A wide
selection of coverage angles and power output capabilities characterize this versatile product line. A small,
single 12” subwoofer (called the R.5SUB) and a much larger dual 12” subwoofer (called the R2SUB) are
available to complement full-range systems. A full, horn-loaded subwoofer/bass augmentation loudspeaker is
available as model R6-Basshorn. Smaller R-Series products are rotationally molded of polyethylene, while the
larger models are made from hand-laid fiberglass. All models are available in architectural light grey, but custom
colors are also available for volume purchases. All medium and long throw R-Series systems feature horn
loading in all frequency bands. The R2 is offered in three symmetric horn patterns and two asymmetric horn
patterns, and all models except the R.5SUB, R6, R6-51, R.5HP, RMG and RSH are equipped with internal
protection circuitry to guard against excessive power. Because of their versatility, performance and weather-
resistant properties, R-Series systems are found in many of the world’s preeminent motor speedways, sports
venues, and convention centers.
R.25 Multipurpose 8-Inch Full-Range
The “baby” of the R-Series family, the R.25 features a horn-loaded, high power 8-inch cone LF
driver with Community’s patent-pending Carbon Ring Cone Technology, providing smooth
frequency response and high sensitivity. The R.25’s coaxial HF compression driver is coupled to a
90° x 40° horn, coaxially mounted with the LF driver to minimize interference at crossover.
Combining wide frequency response with excellent efficiency and projection ability, R.25
loudspeakers can serve as great, point-and-shoot “mini PA” systems with surprising bandwidth
from a discreetly sized package. An optional ”T” version (model R.25-94TZ) includes a factory-
installed 200W autoformer for 70-volt and 100-volt systems.
R.5Z Medium-Throw, 12-Inch Full-Range
The wide range, smooth frequency response and high efficiency of the R.5Z offer excellent music
and speech reproduction in a compact package, ensuring superb projection and clear intelligibility
with very low distortion over moderate distances. R.5Z's are available in three coverage patterns -
60° x 60°, 90° x 40° and 90° x 90°. Highly weather-resistant with a strong molded polyethylene
enclosure and Community's Weather-Stop™ grille, R.5Z loudspeakers are easy to install with the
included stainless steel mounting yoke and mounting strap. Optional ”T” versions include a
factory-installed 200W autoformer for 70-volt and 100-volt systems.
R.5COAX Nearfield 12-Inch Full-Range
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. The R.5COAX is offered for nearfield applications requiring extra smooth response in
either a 60 x 60 or 90 x 90 degree coverage pattern. Optional ”T” versions include a factory-
installed 200W autoformer for 70-volt and 100-volt systems.
