InfoComm 2019: Community to debut new loudspeaker innovations

Community Professional Loudspeakers is exhibiting at InfoComm 2019 and showing two new major product lines.

At booth #6343 from June 8-14 the company will display a wide range of its new and existing products. In Demo Room #W224E, Community will be introducing the L SERIES LVH-900 loudspeaker system, with beamforming technology designed to address the unique coverage and projection challenges of large venues and stadiums.

There will also be demos of the I SERIES Modular Vertical Array 600 and the launch of ALC Amplified Loudspeaker Controllers.

The new L SERIES LVH-900 Beamforming Venue Horn, combined with Community’s proprietary room prediction software and Amplified Loudspeaker Controllers, precisely tailors the directivity of each loudspeaker, or array of loudspeakers. Each LVH-900 consists of four 12-inch LF drivers, three Community M200 midrange compression drivers and four 1.5-inch HF compression drivers.

All drivers integrate into a single tri-axial waveguide that fills the entire 36 x 31-inch face of the enclosure, providing pattern control to below 200 Hz. The LVH-906 and LVH-909 offer 60 or 90 degrees of fixed horizontal dispersion, respectively, with each allowing vertical dispersion beamforming ranging from 60 to 20 degrees, in symmetric or asymmetric configurations.

The new ALC Amplified Loudspeaker Controllers are designed to provide all of the signal routing, zone switching, DSP processing, protective limiting, remote monitoring, and amplification functions needed between a mixer and the loudspeakers in virtually any small to medium-sized Community loudspeaker installation. A simple drag and drop user interface enables projects to be quickly created and the included Community loudspeaker library incorporates all the required pre-sets, including loudspeaker-optimised DSP processing and multi-stage protective limiting. Each ALC channel can directly drive 70V/100V distributed loudspeakers, low impedance loudspeakers from 2 ohms, or any mixed configuration of low and high impedance output loads. The line includes the ALC-404D (4 channels x 400W), the ALC-1604D (4 channels x 1600W), and the ALC-3202D (2 channels x 3200W).

Community is also hosting a 90-minute Manufacturers’ Training Session on Tuesday, June 11 at 3pm, entitled Which Loudspeakers, How Many, Where to Point Them? The session will provide an introduction to Community’s new array builder software – its features, technology, workflow, and EASE Focus integration. The class qualifies for 0.75 Renewal Unit Credits and registration is required via the InfoComm website at https://bit.ly/2Vu3Q5d
