The Cloud 4 has a nominal dispersion of 140° conical and the integral 30W 70/100V line transformer offers 4-tappings and a bypass setting for low impedance (16 Ohm) applications. For the Cloud 6 the dispersion is 120° and the transformer increased to 60W, again offering 4-tappings and a bypass setting for low impedance (16 Ohm). The transformers in both models have been designed for high-end audio use with minimal loss, giving the Cloud 4 a frequency response of 80Hz to 20kHz (+/- 6dB) and the Cloud 6 an extended 60Hz to 20kHz (+/- 6dB).
Unlike typical plastic and metal ceiling loudspeakers designs, Community has opted for a more robust all-metal construction, including back-can, mounting dogs, bezel and grille. Wiring terminations are enclosed in a separate rear compartment with cover plate and provide a smart connect plug and cable restraint.
Installation when flush mounting is simple and the entire installation can be performed from below the ceiling. Using the split-ring provided, the loudspeakers are simply pushed up into the mounting hole and secured with four machine screws located under the grille, which clamp down the dogs. When flush mounting isn't an option, each loudspeaker also has four hanging points for flying, in which event the white powder-coated back-can aesthetically matches the bezel and grille.
The Cloud 4 and Cloud 6 are supplied in pairs, complete with two input plates, two plug-in termination connectors, four T-bars, two split-ring supports and two paint protectors.
