The R.35-3896 is a fully horn-loaded triaxial three-way, full-range loudspeaker system designed to provide high quality voice and music reproduction in applications requiring extreme weather resistance. It is designed to withstand long-term exposure to tough, environmental conditions and to provide musical performance normally only associated with indoor loudspeakers. The R.35-3896 features Community's innovative MultiSource Waveguide™ horn design; the output from the dual midrange compression drivers and 1-inch exit HF driver are combined seamlessly into a single time-coherent source, resulting in excellent musicality, intelligibility and dispersion consistency. The high output, 3-inch voice coil, 8-inch carbon ring cone LF driver features a flange-less frame design that permits a cone area nearly equivalent to a typical 10-inch driver, resulting in high sensitivity and increased LF extension. The low LF/MR passive crossover point results in improved mid-range pattern control and elimination of horn coloration in the LF response. The Music / Voice switch allows for additional application flexibility. The "Music" setting provides an out-of-the-box flat response and selecting "Voice" provides up to a 5dB boost for increased vocal projection and intelligibility. The LF cone is treated with the same NeverWet™ coating as the grille cloth to ensure trouble-free performance in the harshest conditions.
