Community expands Distributed Design family

16 October 2012

USA - Community Professional Loudspeakers has introduced the newest member of their Distributed Design Series. The new DA6 is a high-output, full-range architectural surface-mount loudspeaker with an elegant, sconce-like form factor and contemporary styling designed to complement the most upscale environments including restaurants, resorts, hotel lobbies and ballrooms, and retail establishments.

The DA6 offers a 115-degree cone-shaped coverage pattern that emanates from the face of the loudspeaker downwards at a 26-degree angle from the wall. The two-way, 6.5-inch surface mount DA6 integrates Community's patented Carbon Ring Cone Technology, delivering uniform voicing and consistent coverage from zone to zone when combined with other Distributed Design Series ceiling, surface mount and pendant loudspeakers, including the D10SUB ceiling mount and DS8SUB surface mount subwoofers.

The DA6's true coaxial design achieves higher sensitivity and dramatically lower distortion thanks to the implementation of separate, discrete magnets for its LF and HF drivers. A built in autoformer offers selectable 70V or 100V operation in a distributed system, as well as standard 8 ohm use.

The DA6 is available in standard black or white finishes, and can be painted to match any décor. Enclosures are constructed of high-impact ABS plastic to reduce unwanted resonance, and the included flush-mount wall plate makes installation fast and efficient.
