Community Professional WET and R-Series
Introducing Color-Matched Grilles and Yokes with Improved Weather-Resistance
For more than four decades, Community Professional has been the leader in all-weather loudspeaker systems. Today, Community’s WET Series and R-Series loudspeakers lead the industry with innovative and effective solutions for outdoor sound reinforcement.
Following a tradition of continuous improvement, Community will enhance its WET and R-Series products with the introduction of color-matched grilles and yokes with improved weather-resistance. As an example, Community’s R-Series, beginning with the model R.5HP, will gain attractive, two-layer, powder-coated steel yokes and grilles. These will be light grey in color, to match the enclosure, and they will enhance the product’s weather-resistance as well as improving the appearance. The rest of the R-Series product line will receive the same makeover later this year (the R6 will remain black). Similarly, Community’s WET Series II will gain attractive, stainless steel grilles and yokes with two-layer powder-coating to match the choice of white or black enclosures.
“It’s been ten years since Community introduced the original WET228 and R2, which may be the single most important advance in school systems in the last decade,” said Bruce Howze, Community’s President and Chief Engineer. “These new refinements to our all-weather mounting hardware will ensure an even longer lifespan for R-Series and WET products, many of which already outlast not just the competition, but sometimes even the buildings they’re installed on.”
All across the globe, Community’s all-weather solutions provide powerful and durable audio performance for stadia, racetracks, theme parks and other challenging environments. From the snow-covered peaks of Mount Rushmore to the cricket stadiums of the Bahamian tropics, Community continues to outlast the harshest conditions and outperform the competition.
“Much has changed in the past decade, but we’re proud to say that Community’s R-Series and WET family remain the de facto standard in all-weather loudspeaker solutions,” says Howze.
