wet_series_ii Community has announced the introduction of the new WET Series II loudspeaker line.  WET is an acronym standing for Weather Environmental Technology and it describes one of the main purposes of the product line; to defy the worst that Mother Nature can throw at it, year after year after year.

The original WET Series has long been known for delivering exceptional speech and music performance under the most extreme weather conditions. Typical installations have included many open-air areas in entertainment venues, sports facilities, cruise ships, water parks, ski resorts, skating rinks, and themed attractions such as Universal Studios' "Jurassic Park."

WET Series II boasts a number of significant enhancements, including completely redesigned crossover networks for improved acoustic linearity, and restyled curvilinear 100% glass fiber composite enclosures that offer a more precise, tighter tolerance fit, and an even stronger, more weatherproof exterior.

WET II models now utilize Community's leading-edge Carbon Fiber Cone Technology for lower mass and improved weather resistance, plus Ferrofluid cooled voice coils that increase power handling, reduce distortion, and prevent internal corrosion and oxidization of the driver assembly.

The new WET 315 and 322 enclosures sport a dramatic, streamlined look, with a grille edge that fully covers the fiberglass face-frame of the enclosure. When WET II enclosures are ordered in white, they now will include matching white powder-coated stainless steel grilles, as well as white bezels, gland nuts and cabling, making them a perfect fit for high-visibility installations.

"The WET Series has garnered a reputation over the past ten years as the pre-eminent outdoor loudspeaker," said Community founder Bruce Howze. "With these new enhancements in performance and design, we're confident that WET II will raise the bar even higher."
