The Community IC6-2082WT26 loudspeaker system is a two-way, full-range design incorporating two 8 in. (203mm) ferrite LF drivers with inherently weather resistant cones and one 1 in. (25mm) exit ketone polymer diaphragm, neodymium compression driver. The drivers are connected to an internal frequency dividing network with an acoustical crossover frequency of 1100 Hz. The system is equipped with a high performance 200W autoformer for use in 70V/100V audio systems, with taps of 25W, 50W, 100W, and 200W for 70V operation (50W, 100W, and 200W for 100V systems). The modified trapezoidal loudspeaker enclosure is constructed of a thermally stabile, dense structural-grade composite embedded with dual layers of fiberglass cloth and is fitted with (9) M10 and (4) M8 rigging inserts. The enclosure has a dual-layer finish of heavy exterior-grade paint and a UVresistant top coat. The front of the enclosure is fitted with a wraparound powder-coated 1.5mm perforated marine-grade aluminum grille backed with acoustically transparent woven fabric that has been treated with a hydrophobic compound. The secured input panel cover and gland nut provides a sealed connection for the internally connected 12 ft (3.6m) 14 gauge SJOW cable. The system has an operating range of 49 Hz to 20 kHz (-10dB SPL). The system produces a sound pressure level of 98 dB (averaged SPL between -10 dB points) on axis at one meter with a power input of 1 Watt, and is capable of producing a continuous output of 123 dB SPL (with peak output of 129 dB SPL) on axis at one meter. The nominal dispersion is 120° H x 60° V. The loudspeaker is 11.30 in. (287 mm) H x 22.46 in. (571 mm) W (front) x 5.81 in. (148 mm) W (rear) x 10.62 in. (270 mm) D, and weighs 27.9 lbs. (12.7 kg).
The IC6-2082/26 is designed for demanding extended high output, high performance applications without sacrificing fidelity or coverage consistency. Most symmetrical dual 8" 2-way loudspeakers suffer from serious coverage inconsistencies through the crossover region. The IC6-2082/26 solves this problem by using a very high quality, low distortion 1.7" diaphragm neodymium HF compression driver on a large field-rotatable horn that is crossed over to partially baffled 8" LF drivers at an unusually low crossover frequency. The combination of baffles and low crossover point allows the IC6-2082/26 to perform similarly to a coaxial loudspeaker, resulting in a consistent, symmetrical, and wide coverage pattern through its operating range. The long excursion LF drivers and low velocity port effortlessly extend LF performance at any output level. Additionally, 16 ohm or 70V/100V models expand application flexibility both indoors and out. Multiple attachment points provide compatibility with a variety of Community and third party mounting brackets.
