Product Overview

The Community IP8-1153 is a high-power 15-inch 3-way installation loudspeaker with a 60° x 40° dispersion pattern and rotatable waveguide, built for long-throw, full-range sound reinforcement in houses of worship, auditoriums and large multi-purpose venues. As part of the I Series Point Source 800 line it delivers high intelligibility for main and distributed AV systems.

Product Description

This IP8-1153 (Black) is part of Community's I Series Point Source 800 loudspeakers, providing acoustic performance, modular flexibility and elegant aesthetics for modern performance venues. FEA-optimized linear suspensions, high-flux neodymium motors and integral demodulation rings ensure precise transducer motion control and very low distortion at high SPL levels. The custom long-excursion LF driver delivers deep bass and balanced mid-range, while matched MF and HF compression-driver diaphragms provide natural, transparent sound with strong intelligibility and accurate transient response. The rotatable 18-inch MF/HF waveguide gives well-defined 60° x 40° coverage and a smooth off-axis response, and an acoustic 8th-order MF/HF passive crossover delivers consistent vertical response. User-selectable biamp or triamp operating modes further expand performance.

Key Features

  • Three-way design — Matching ketone polymer MF and HF diaphragms provide uniform sound quality from 500 Hz to 20 kHz.
  • M200HP mid driver — The M200HP mid-range compression driver delivers Community's signature intelligibility with low distortion.
  • Low-distortion motors — FEA-optimized suspensions and neodymium motors with integral demodulation rings are used in the LF and HF sections.
  • Rotatable waveguide — A large rotatable 18-inch MF/HF waveguide supports user-selectable biamp or triamp operation and arrayability.
  • Modular bracket system — Innovative low-profile modular bracket systems create elegant arrays with simplified installation.

Typical Applications

  • House of worship
  • Auditorium
  • Multi-purpose room
  • Government space
