The iHP3564 and iHP3594 are large format, full-range systems. The driver complement in both consists of a 15-inch (380mm) high power low frequency driver, an 8-inch (205mm) mid-range driver and a 1.4-inch (36mm) exit / 2.87-inch (72.2 mm) edge wound voice coil compression driver. High order crossovers minimize band overlap and the large format horn flare delivers well controlled dispersion, 60 x 40 degrees for the iHP3564 and 90 x 40 degrees for the iHP3594.
Both the iHP3564 and iHP3594 can be used in passive or bi-amp operating modes. The passive mode is designed to deliver "outstanding performance with simple and economical electronics configuration", while the bi-amp mode allows greater system flexibility, particularly when used with advanced digital processors such as the 4 x 8 matrix Community DXP4800."
In common with all iBOX series loudspeakers, the four new models use 13-ply Baltic birch enclosures, finished with Community's TufCoat finish. The enclosures incorporate 23 load-rated M10 rigging points and 4 M8 OmniMount 120 inserts in the rear.
