Biamp 910-02264 R.15-3696

Product Overview

The Biamp Community R.15-3696 is a weather-resistant, three-way full-range loudspeaker built for voice reinforcement and program audio in large, acoustically difficult spaces. Its 90° horizontal by 60° vertical coverage and high-sensitivity triaxial design deliver clear speech intelligibility across reverberant environments where shorter throw distances are needed. As a commercial-grade loudspeaker with selectable low-impedance or 70V/100V operation, the R.15-3696 drops into both distributed and point-source system designs. It ships with a mounting bracket and IP54-rated grille protection for indoor and outdoor installation.

Product Description

The Community R.15-3696 uses Biamp's MultiSource Waveguide horn to combine dual midrange compression drivers and a 1-inch high-frequency compression driver with a 6.5-inch low-frequency driver, producing a fuller bandwidth than a basic paging horn while keeping high output in the critical voice range. The 90° by 60° pattern lets integrators aim coverage precisely in gymnasiums, warehouses, stadium concourses, and other highly reverberant spaces. A 100W autoformer supports 70V and 100V distributed audio systems, and the loudspeaker can also be switched to 4-ohm low-impedance operation when driven directly from an amplifier channel. Weatherproofing includes conformal-coated crossovers, water-resistant drivers, and an IP54-rated grille, so the same model serves covered outdoor areas and demanding interior spaces. The included bracket simplifies wall or structure mounting during installation, and the grey finish blends into most commercial architecture. The R.15-3696 pairs well with Biamp amplifiers and DSP for a complete voice reinforcement chain.

Biamp backs the loudspeaker with a five-year product warranty and a fifteen-year enclosure warranty.

Key Features

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the R.15-3696 work on 70V and 100V systems?
Yes. The standard 100W autoformer supports both 70V and 100V distributed audio systems, and the loudspeaker can also be switched to 4-ohm low-impedance operation for direct amplifier connection.

Can it be installed outdoors?
The R.15-3696 uses weather-resistant components, including conformal-coated crossovers, water-resistant drivers, and an IP54-rated grille, making it suitable for covered outdoor areas as well as demanding interior spaces.

What spaces is it designed for?
It targets large, reverberant environments that need shorter throw distances, such as gymnasiums, warehouses, stadium concourses, houses of worship, and multi-purpose rooms.

How does it integrate into a Biamp AV system?
Pair it with Biamp amplifiers and Tesira DSP to build a complete voice reinforcement and program audio signal chain with system-level control.

Is a mounting bracket included?
Yes. A mounting bracket ships with the loudspeaker to simplify wall or structural installation.

What warranty applies?
Biamp covers the R.15-3696 with a five-year product warranty and a fifteen-year enclosure warranty. Contact Creation Networks for pre-sales design help and warranty support.
