Product Overview
The Biamp Community R.5HP is a three-way, horn-loaded, weather-resistant loudspeaker engineered for maximum voice intelligibility in a compact design. As a high-output paging and music loudspeaker, it serves stadiums, outdoor multi-purpose venues, and large reverberant spaces requiring durable voice-range projection.
Product Description
The R.5HP is a three-way horn-loaded weather-resistant loudspeaker engineered to provide maximum intelligibility from a compact design. By packaging Community's M200 mid-range driver coaxially within the mouth of the 12-inch LF horn, the system becomes a powerful tool for voice announcement systems. High frequencies are handled by Community's non-metallic-diaphragm UC1 1-inch exit HF driver. The R.5HP can act as both a musical entertainment loudspeaker and a voice PA loudspeaker simultaneously, avoiding the harsh sound of re-entrant paging horns.
Key Features
- Coaxial M200 mid-range — The M200 mid-range driver is packaged coaxially within the 12-inch LF horn for high voice power.
- Weather-resistant enclosure — The rotomolded UV enclosure with weather-treated drivers and crossovers suits outdoor use.
- Corrosion-resistant grille — A zinc-rich epoxy dual-layer powder-coated steel grille and yoke resist corrosion.
- Pattern control to 630 Hz — The horn maintains pattern control down to 630 Hz for predictable coverage.
- High-power passive crossover — A high-power passive crossover and integral mounting points support permanent installation.
Typical Applications
- Auditorium
- Multi-purpose room
- Government space
