The flagship model of the D SERIES, the D10 exceeds the performance of competing “high-ceiling” models. The D10 provides high-level foreground music, loud-and-clear paging (even in noisy environments), and readily supports large systems in sports facilities, clubs, or concert venues for delay and zone fill. Characterized by powerful, musical performance and superb speech intelligibility, the D10 represents a significant change in the ceiling speaker market segment.
D10’s can readily be combined with smaller members of the Distributed Design family due to Community’s uniform voicing technology, providing additional power and LF response in areas that require it. True coaxial design uses separate magnets for the LF and HF drivers for reduced distortion and industry-leading sensitivity permitting 3 dB to 6 dB greater output level, while requiring half the amplification power of competing products.
The proprietary Tru-Phase™ waveguide and perfectly centered driver produce a consistently wide conical polar response up to 16 kHz. Community’s patented Carbon Ring Cone Technology™ increases the effective cone area to further reduce distortion while reinforcing the cone for improved durability.
Exclusive Drop-Stop™ and Twist-Assist™ tabs allow single-handed placement to speed installation and reduce labor time. Drop-Stop’s spring-loaded legs support the back can on the included tile rails and snap-on C-ring, so that the installer no longer needs to hold the can against the tile while tightening the clamps. Twist-Assist performs a similar function for the baffle assembly: when the loudspeaker back cans are pre-installed into a conduit system for termination at a later date, a simple twist of the baffle into the back can brings the Twist-Assist clips together, supporting the baffle assembly while the installer fastens the screws.
The front-face wattage selector switch enables quick adjustment of levels, while the high-power internal autoformer permits full power output with 70V or 100V lines. A variety of installation accessories are available to accommodate different ceiling materials. The D10 face-only assembly and back can are also available for separate purchase.
