Biamp Community IP8-1153WR66 High Power 15-Inch 3-Way 60 X 60 Speaker (Weather Resistant, Grey)

Available in a trio of beam widths, the IP8-1153WR from Community is a High Power 15-inch Three-Way Installation Loudspeaker that comes in weather-resistant grey. As part of Community's I SERIES Point Source 800 loudspeakers, the IP8-1153WR provides exemplary acoustic performance, modular flexibility and elegant aesthetics for modern performance venues. Designed to support the goals of systems integrators and consultants both acoustically and mechanically, I SERIES includes a wide variety of rotatable coverage patterns and an easily installed U-Bracket that accelerate system design and system commissioning.

FEA-optimized linear suspensions, high-flux neodymium motors, and integral demodulation rings ensure precise control and very low distortion at high SPL levels. The custom long-excursion LF driver delivers deep bass response and a balanced mid-range in the most demanding applications. The matched diaphragms on the HF and MF compression drivers provide natural, transparent sound quality with unrivaled intelligibility and transient response accuracy that complements any source.

The rotatable 18-inch (457mm) MF/HF waveguide provides well-defined coverage and a smooth off-axis response that enhances arrayability. The acoustically resultant 8th order MF/HF passive crossover produces a smooth, consistent vertical off-axis response free from the polar lobing and power response losses inherent in other similar systems. User selectable biamp or triamp operating modes expand performance capabilities further.
