Suitable for 8 Ohm or 70V/100V line applications, the series is comprised of seven products. The full-range, standard-depth back-can models are the 60W 4.5-inch D4, the 100W 5-inch D5, the 100W 6.5-inch D6, the 150W 8-inch D8 and the 200W 10-inch D10.
There is also a shallow back-can model for installations where available depth is limited, the low-profile 60W 4.5-inch D4LP which is only 3.6 inches (92mm) deep. Completing the range is the 200W 10-inch D10SUB, which provides powerful LF reinforcement for entertainment applications. Each model is available as a complete unit or the drive unit face plate assembly and the back-can can be purchased separately.
The series debuts Community's Drop-Stop and Twist-Assist features, to make the installation process easier, faster and safer. Drop-Stop provides spring-loaded legs which support the back-can on the included rails and C-ring, so that the installer no longer needs to hold the can against the tile while tightening the clamps. When the loudspeaker back cans are installed, the product's Twist-Assist locking system allows the baffle and loudspeaker assembly to be self-supporting while the installer fastens the screws to the can.
Each of the six full-range models is a true coaxial loudspeaker, with a compression driver concentrically located so that the high frequencies emerge through the centre of the low-frequency driver's magnetic structure and cone via a precisely contoured Tru-Phase™ HF waveguide.
