Community R.35-3896B Black 8-inch 3-Way Weather Resistant Loudspeaker

The Community R.35-3896B is a high-performance, fully horn-loaded triaxial 3-way loudspeaker designed for professional music and voice applications. Featuring Biamp's exclusive MultiSource Waveguide technology, it seamlessly combines outputs from dual midrange compression drivers and a 1" high-frequency driver into a single time-coherent source, ensuring exceptional clarity, intelligibility, and consistent dispersion.

Housed in a rugged black enclosure, the R.35-3896B delivers class-leading SPL levels and flat musical reproduction without EQ. Its 8" carbon ring cone low-frequency driver with a 3" voice coil provides LF extension and sensitivity nearly equivalent to a 10" driver, while the low LF/MR passive crossover point improves midrange pattern control and eliminates horn coloration.

Designed for versatile applications, the speaker features a Music/Voice switch for optimized reproduction, flat response for music, or up to a 5 dB vocal boost for speech. Hydrophobic coatings on the cone and grille ensure reliable outdoor performance. Recommended with the Community ALC404D amplifier, it comes with a 5-year product and 15-year enclosure warranty, making it ideal for challenging environments where long-term reliability is critical.
