Community R.35-3896 8" 3-Way Weather Resistant Loudspeaker for Multi-Purpose Outdoor and Indoor Venues

The Community R.35-3896 8" three-way horn loaded loudspeaker is housed in the same size enclosure as the 10" R.35COAX. It has a triaxial 8" carbon ring cone loudspeaker featuring Community's exclusive MultiSource Waveguide technology which adeptly integrates the output from dual midrange compression drivers and a 1" exit HF compression driver into a single coherent source. Fully passive, it is voiced for flat musical reproduction without EQ and delivers class-leading SPL levels for a loudspeaker of its size.

The R.35-3896 is a fully horn-loaded tri-axial three-way, full-range loudspeaker system designed to provide high-quality voice and music reproduction in applications requiring extreme weather resistance. It is designed to withstand long-term exposure to tough, environmental conditions and to provide musical performance normally only associated with indoor loudspeakers. The R.35-3896 features Community's innovative MultiSource Waveguide™ horn design; the output from the dual midrange compression drivers and 1-inch exit HF driver are combined seamlessly into a single time-coherent source, resulting in excellent musicality, intelligibility and dispersion consistency. The high output, 3-inch voice coil, 8-inch carbon ring cone LF driver features a flange-less woofer basket design that permits a cone area nearly equivalent to a typical 10-inch driver, resulting in high sensitivity and increased LF extension. The low LF/MR passive crossover point results in improved mid-range pattern control and elimination of horn coloration in the LF response.

The Music/Voice switch allows for additional application flexibility. The "Music" setting provides an out-of-the-box flat response and selecting "Voice" provides up to a 5dB boost for increased vocal projection and intelligibility. The LF cone is treated with the same hydrophobic coating as the grille cloth to ensure trouble-free performance in the harshest conditions. The R.35-3896 carries a 5-year warranty.

Very pleased
Great speakers! I was very impressed with the clarity and output. The boxes are small but mighty. They had amazing throw which is exactly what the application needed. Glad I got them. Nathan was an expert when it came to picking these out. Review by the mannn / (Posted on 5/22/2017)
Glad we bought them
Amazing speakers for the price we paid. Nathan helped us with the selection and for them in black for us as well. Once we installed them outside the press box we could hear the difference immediately. Although they were tricky to install due to the weight of them, the brackets held them securely.
