The Community R.5COAX66 High-Fidelity Two-Way Full-Range Loudspeaker is a professional, weather-resistant coaxial speaker designed to deliver powerful, high-quality sound for outdoor venues, stadiums, sports facilities, houses of worship, commercial installations, and distributed audio systems. Featuring a 12-inch low-frequency driver and a 1-inch titanium high-frequency compression driver, the R.5COAX66 provides excellent music reproduction, clear speech intelligibility, and dependable performance in demanding indoor and outdoor environments.
Engineered for professional sound reinforcement, the Community R.5COAX66 outdoor loudspeaker combines high efficiency, low distortion, and controlled 60-degree coverage. Its coaxial driver configuration provides consistent sound distribution, making it well suited for installations requiring both high-fidelity background music and intelligible voice announcements.
Built with a rugged, UV-stable rotomolded enclosure, corrosion-resistant steel grille, and weather-treated components, the R.5COAX66 is designed for long-term outdoor use. With a maximum output of 121 dB SPL continuous and 128 dB SPL peak, this professional loudspeaker delivers the acoustic performance needed for commercial and outdoor sound systems.
High-Fidelity Coaxial Speaker Design
The R.5COAX66 features a professional two-way coaxial driver arrangement with a 12-inch low-frequency driver and a 1-inch titanium high-frequency compression driver.
This configuration provides full-range audio reproduction with an operating frequency range of 80 Hz to 18 kHz, delivering detailed music playback and clear speech for professional sound reinforcement applications.
A high-power passive crossover operating at 2 kHz helps manage the transition between low- and high-frequency drivers, while integrated DYNA-TECH protection circuitry helps protect the loudspeaker during demanding operation.
Controlled 60-Degree Coverage for Professional Sound Systems
The Community R.5COAX66 provides nominal 60° horizontal and 60° vertical coverage, allowing system designers to direct sound toward intended listening areas.
Its controlled dispersion makes it suitable for outdoor entertainment venues, athletic facilities, public gathering spaces, and commercial sound installations where consistent coverage and speech intelligibility are important.
With 98 dB sensitivity and up to 128 dB peak SPL, the R.5COAX66 supports efficient sound reinforcement in applications requiring substantial acoustic output.
Weather-Resistant Construction for Indoor and Outdoor Installations
Designed for demanding environments, the R.5COAX66 features a UV-stable rotomolded LLDPE enclosure engineered to withstand exposure to outdoor conditions.
Its corrosion-resistant grille assembly incorporates Community's three-layer Weather Stop™ system, combining a zinc-rich epoxy dual-layer powder-coated perforated steel grille with protective foam and woven poly mesh.
Weather-treated drivers and a corrosion-resistant mounting yoke further support reliable operation in outdoor and industrial environments.
The loudspeaker includes five 3/8-16 rigging points for installation flexibility and is backed by a five-year limited product warranty and a fifteen-year enclosure warranty.
Flexible Installation and Amplifier Compatibility
The R.5COAX66 features a nominal 8-ohm impedance and supports 200 watts continuous and 500 watts program power.
Community recommends amplifier power between 420 and 600 watts at 8 ohms, with a 60 Hz high-pass filter for appropriate signal processing.
An optional 200W, 70V autoformer provides additional flexibility for compatible distributed audio installations.
A factory-supplied 12-foot SJOW 16-gauge cable simplifies audio connections, while integrated rigging points support a variety of permanent installation requirements.
