Community Expands Distributed Design Series With Surface Mount Models

The popular family of Distributed Design ceiling loudspeakers, with its innovative and labor-saving features, has been well received by installers since its introduction last year. The new surface-mount loudspeakers represent a significant expansion to the product line, adding several high-output, low-profile models that deliver the same outstanding musical sound quality and excellent intelligibility, easily outperforming larger sized competitive loudspeakers.
 
The five-inch DS5 is a two-way compact system, ideal for installations where space is a premium. For larger installations, the eight-inch DS8 provides higher sound pressure levels, higher sensitivity and greater bass extension.  The eight-inch DS8SUB subwoofer complements the DS5 and DS8 full-range models with extended low frequency performance for musical applications.
 
“We’ve received great response on the performance of our Distributed Design Series ceiling-mounted systems, but there are certainly applications where a surface-mounted system is more appropriate,” explained Julia Lee, Community’s Director of Sales and Marketing. “Our new surface-mount DS line is designed to deliver the same voicing and performance as the ceiling models, along with a range of features to make the installer’s job easier and more efficient.”
 
The DS-Series is equipped with built-in autoformers that enable full output with 70V or 100V distribution lines. All models accommodate eight-ohm as well as 70V/100V applications with a convenient front-accessible power tap switch located behind a rotatable logo.
 
Community’s unique Infin-A-Ball multi-angle wall mounting bracket is designed for precise positioning to facilitate low profile installation.  The Infin-A-Ball arm bracket is prewired with a Euroblock connector to conceal wiring, providing a clean, professional appearance.
 
All DS-Series loudspeakers have a sleek, modern design that blends well aesthetically into almost any environment. They are a perfect solution for a wide variety of indoor and outdoor speech and music applications including swimming pools, sports stadiums, houses of worship, retail environments, bars and restaurants. The DS5, DS8 and DS8SUB are available in standard black or white finishes.
