ibox.jpgCommunity iBOX is a new 16-model range of installation loudspeakers offering a straightforward approach to implementing arrays, clusters and distributed systems with just two sizes of discrete enclosures. The premium quality, large format systems are ideal for sound reinforcement in stadia, multi-purpose sports facilities, houses of worship, nightclubs, bars and live sound venues.

The iBOX 1200 Series combines a high-power 12-inch mid/bass driver with a 2.87-inch VC (1.4-inch exit) high frequency compression unit on a fully rotatable, large format horn. Offering precise uniform coverage and arrayability are 6 models: iHP1244 (40x40), iHP1264 (60x40), iHP1266 (60x60), iHP1294 (90x40), iHP1296 (90x60) and iHP1299 (90x90). Each of the full-range cabinets can be used in bi-amp or passive mode and operates from 60Hz to 18kHz with power handling of 600W continuous.

For systems requiring greater LF extension Community provides the i112S (1x12-inch Cool-Coil™ LF Driver) and i212S (2x12-inch Cool-Coil™ LF Drivers) subs in the same 1200 Series dimensions, allowing aesthetically pleasing clusters with any cabinet combination.

The iBOX 1500 Series offer the same 6 rotatable HF horn options within the iHP1544, iHP1564, iHP1566, iHP1594, iHP1596 and iHP1599. These are combined with a high-power 15-inch mid/bass driver in a slightly larger enclosure, which extends the LF response to 45Hz. As with the 1200 Series, 2 same-dimension subs are available to provide greater LF power and extension for larger systems - the i115 (1x15-inch Cool-Coil™ LF Driver) and i215 (2x15-inch Cool-Coil™ LF Drivers).

All iBOX enclosures are constructed from rugged 13-ply Baltic birch and finished with Community's ultra-durable, smooth TufCoat™. The enclosures incorporate 23 x load-rated M10 rigging points and  4 x M8 Omnimount™ 120 inserts in the rear panel. Simple and flexible installation is achieved using optional yoke, cluster and array hardware from the extensive range designed specifically to suit all configurations of the iBOX series.
