Community Professional Loudspeakers has expanded the Distributed Design Series of high-performance ceiling-mount loudspeakers with the addition of several new surface-mount models.

The 5-inch DS5 is a two-way compact system, ideal for installations where space is a premium. For larger installations, the 8-inch DS8 provides higher sound pressure levels, higher sensitivity and greater bass extension. The 8-inch DS8SUB subwoofer complements the DS5 and DS8 full-range models with extended low frequency performance for musical applications.

“We’ve received great response on the performance of our Distributed Design Series ceiling-mounted systems, but there are certainly applications where a surface-mounted system is more appropriate,� explains Julia Lee, Community’s Director of Sales and Marketing. “Our new surface-mount DS line is designed to deliver the same voicing and performance as the ceiling models, along with a range of features to make the installer’s job easier and more efficient.�

The DS-Series is equipped with built-in autoformers that enable full output with 70V or 100V distribution lines. All models accommodate 8-ohm as well as 70V/100V applications with a convenient front-accessible power tap switch located behind a rotatable logo.

Community’s unique Infin-A-Ball™ multi-angle wall mounting bracket is designed for precise positioning to facilitate low profile installation. The Infin-A-Ball arm bracket is prewired with a Euroblock connector to conceal wiring, providing a clean, professional appearance.

All DS-Series loudspeakers have a sleek, modern design that blends well aesthetically into almost any environment. They are a perfect solution for a wide variety of indoor and outdoor speech and music applications including swimming pools, sports stadiums, houses of worship, retail environments, bars and restaurants. The DS5, DS8 and DS8SUB are available in standard black or white finishes.
