Community V2-1596 15-Inch Two-Way Full-Range Loudspeaker

The Community V2-1596 is a professional 15-inch two-way full-range loudspeaker designed for permanent sound reinforcement in worship facilities, performance venues, clubs, auditoriums, and other large commercial spaces. Its combination of a high-sensitivity 15-inch low-frequency driver and 1-inch high-frequency compression driver provides powerful, detailed sound for both speech and music.

With 90° x 60° coverage, the V2-1596 provides controlled, consistent sound distribution across wide listening areas. Its 98 dB sensitivity and maximum output of up to 127 dB SPL peak make it well suited for applications that require high acoustic output without sacrificing clarity.

15-Inch Full-Range Performance

The V2-1596 uses a 15-inch LF cone driver with carbon ring cone technology to deliver controlled low-frequency performance, while the 1-inch HF compression driver provides clear and articulate high frequencies. The two-way passive design makes the loudspeaker easy to integrate into conventional professional audio systems.

A 1.3 kHz crossover separates the low- and high-frequency sections, while recommended signal processing includes a 60 Hz, 24 dB/octave Butterworth high-pass filter for system protection and optimized low-frequency performance.

90° x 60° Controlled Coverage

The V2-1596 provides a nominal 90° horizontal by 60° vertical beamwidth when installed in its vertical orientation. This controlled coverage pattern helps distribute sound evenly across audience areas while limiting unnecessary energy outside the intended coverage zone.

The trapezoidal enclosure also makes the V2-1596 practical for clustered installations and professional system layouts.

Built for Permanent Installation

The V2-1596 features an 18 mm, 11-ply cross-laminated birch plywood enclosure designed for demanding professional installations. Its trapezoidal cabinet has a 22.5° included angle, providing flexibility when multiple loudspeakers are installed together.

For installation and suspension, the cabinet includes 13 M10 threaded rigging points along with four M8 threaded fittings for compatible third-party suspension hardware.

The loudspeaker is available with a black or white finish, allowing it to blend into a variety of architectural environments.

Driver Protection and Reliability

Community incorporates DYNA-TECH driver protection circuitry to help protect the loudspeaker during demanding operation. The high-frequency compression driver also uses ferrofluid cooling to improve thermal performance and long-term reliability.

The result is a professional loudspeaker designed for applications where consistent output and dependable operation are important.
