Community UK

Community UK became its own entity on 1 July this year, making this the first time the company has exhibited at PLASA in its own right. On show was the expanded iBOX range of installation speakers, which has numerous array and dispersion pattern options, all in cabinets of identical size. The new iBOX HP3500 series, which are slightly larger than the existing 1200 and 1500 series, are a high performance 3-way system. Both the iHP3564 and iHP3594 are loaded with a 15" and 8" low- and mid-range drivers plus a 1.4" throated, edge-wound voice coil compression driver. Dispersion from the two boxes varies from 60° x 40° for the iHP3564 to 90° x 40° for the iHP3594, and both loudspeakers can operate in either passive or bi-amped modes.

To complement the range, two subs have also been released in the form of the i118S and i215LVS, and have the same physical dimensions as the other previously mentioned cabinets. The i118S is loaded with an 18" driver while the i215LVS is fitted with two 15" all utilizing Community's Cool Coil technology, which minimizes power compression.

Community also announced that it is now the exclusive UK distributor of Italian amplifier brand, Kind. The Kind range of products includes amplifiers ranging from 320W to 5.6kW in class AB and lightweight class G types. Kind also recently introduced its new WinARC (amplifier remote control) software for monitoring a maximum of 99 channels of amplification up to distances of 1km over a standard Cat 5 network.
