Introduction & Product Description
Thank you for your choice of Community's C SERIES Surface Mount
Loudspeakers.
The C SERIES Surface Mount model has a unique, modern-looking
streamlined architectural design. The black or white cabinet is easy
to customize since it accepts a wide variety of paints. For durability
and improved sonic quality, the cabinets have thick-wall, internally-
reinforced ABS plastic construction. This high-impact strength
construction reduces resonances, and the rounded surfaces further
reduce the resonances that occur in flat-sided cabinets.
Each model is shipped as a matched pair of completely assembled
loudspeakers, including everything needed for standard installations.
The CS6 is a full-range model, with high and low frequency drivers and
built-in crossover.
You can use 8 ohm or constant voltage distribution with the built-in
70/100 volt autoformer. Power is easy to adjust using a front-accessible
power tap switch.
We urge you to read these instructions carefully and familiarize yourself
with the features and installation methods before you begin the job. If
you have any questions or concerns, please contact Community.
Mounting System
C SERIES Surface Mount Loudspeakers include a Vari-Tilt™ yoke
mounting system, which allows low profile mounting and precise aiming
over a broad pan-tilt range.
The yoke design allows for pan adjustments by sliding the yoke arm
through the mounting plate and the tilt adjustments at the yoke-cabinet
mounting knobs. The cabinet may be installed either horizontally or
vertically and is adjustable in both directions, in either orientation. See
page 9 for aiming angles achievable in each orientation.
Wiring
The wiring for the loudspeaker is achieved through the use of a 4-Pin
Euroblock connector that is inserted into the recessed input connector
area on the back of the cabinet. The wiring is routed through the 2 or 3
wire sealing plugs prior to terminating into the Euroblock. The selection
of these gaskets is dependent on two factors: the orientation of the
cabinet, and whether the cabinet wiring is being daisy-chained to other
loudspeakers or terminated to a single loudspeaker. Refer to page 7 to
determine the correct wiring procedure for your installation to ensure
weather-resistant protection is provided.

Installation
IMPORTANT: Community does not provide
hardware for mounting the wall mount plate
to the install surface. This hardware is
customer supplied and subject to local codes and
requirements. It is strongly recommended that a
licensed and certified professional structural
engineer approve the mounting. Severe injury and/or
loss of life may occur if this product is improperly
installed. The provided mounting yoke may not be
suitable for all mounting orientations or
environmental conditions.
1. Attach wall-mount plate to mounting surface
using customer supplied hardware. (See
above). Install the mounting plate to ensure
correct cabinet orientation.
2. Insert the M8 bolt through the lock washer,
at washer, and the hole on pinch plate.
3. Sandwich the yoke between the pinch plate
assembly and align with the wall plate.
4. The yoke arm should rest inside the notches
on the mounting plate. Lightly finger-tighten
the M8 bolt to loosely hold the yoke assembly
together. (NOTE - Do not tighten the yoke
bolt until final aiming is complete.)
5. Prior to lifting the loudspeaker into place,
complete the wiring preparation (details on
page 7).

NOTE: All electrical and mechanical
installation connections for loudspeaker
lines are subject to all applicable
governmental building and fire codes. The
selection of appropriate electrical and mounting
hardware to interface with C SERIES Surface Mount
Loudspeakers lies solely with the installation
professional. Community recommends that an
appropriately licensed engineer, electrician, or
other professional identify and select the
appropriate conduit, fittings, wire, etc. for the
installation.
C SERIES Surface Mount Installation and Operation Manual Page 6
Wiring
The provided 4-Pin Euroblock connector, required to wire the loudspeaker,
allows for individual unit wiring or “loop-thru” wiring for connecting multiple
loudspeakers in parallel. The provided input panel cover allows for multiple
pairs of wires in and out of the sealed ingress. It is IP56 rated.
Determining the correct wiring location
Depending on the mounting direction of the cabinet, you will need to use one
of the two provided rubber wiring plugs. Refer to the following descriptions
to determine which plug is needed. An extra pair of rubber plugs is provided in
case a mistake is made during installation.
Horizontal Mounting
For horizontal mounting, always use wiring cover ingress locations along the
long edge of the cover. To allow for sucient wiring bend radius in the wiring
cavity, always use the ingress points that are as far away from the Euroblock
connector as possible (see Figure 2a).
Vertical Mounting
For vertical mounting, always use wiring cover ingress locations along the
short edge of the cover (see Figure 3a).

Wiring (continued)
NOTE: The rubber plug openings are
designed to receive cables, not
individual conductors. This means
that one plug opening should be used for a
single cabinet and two would be used for a
loop-thru install. Also be sure to only use one
cable per plug opening. Do not attempt to
route two cables in a single opening.
CAUTION: We recommend applying a
silicone based weather-proof sealant
if not using the wiring plugs OR to
supplement the plugs in severe weather and
extended outdoor use.
The rubber plugs are designed to grip cables from approximately 0.125"(3.2mm)
to 0.3"(7.6mm) in diameter to prevent water ingress.
For cables 0.3" (7.6mm) up to 0.34" (8.6mm), (roughly the size of most
standard 16-2 and 14-2 SJOW cables), the cable may be passed through the
cover without using the rubber plugs. However, in order to preserve the IP56
rating and prevent water ingress, use of a silicone sealant around the cable
is recommended. Cables with a diameter larger than 0.35" (8.9mm) cannot be
used with the rear cover.
Connecting and Routing Wiring
1. Leave approximately 6" (15 cm) of cable coming out of the wall at the install
point.
2. Prepare the rubber plugs by clipping the end of the rubber cone to create an
opening slightly smaller than the diameter of the cable. This will allow the
rubber to stretch slightly and seal around the cable jacket. A sharp razor
blade or wire cutters can be used to cut the cone tip (see Figure 4).
3. Split the cable jacket approximately 1" (2.54 cm). Route the cable(s) through
their respective cones in the rubber plug (see Figure 5).
4. Strip each conductor insulation back approximately 0.25" (6.4mm).
5. Connect the (+) wire to position #1 and the (-) wire is connected to position
#4 on the Euro connector. If the next loudspeaker is to be connected in
daisy-chain fashion, connect its wires to position #2 (+) and position #3 (-)
(Refer to Figure 6).

6. Lift the loudspeaker up to the installation
location with the correct orientation.
7. Press both the rubber plugs into position on
the weather cover ingresses.
8. Fit the 4-pin Euroblock connector securely
into the socket on the cabinet.
9. Maintaining cabinet orientation, use the 4
weather cover screws to secure the weather
cover to the back of the cabinet (Figure 9).
10. Attach the loudspeaker to the yoke. Place
each rubber washer between the yoke end
and cabinet and screw in the yoke knobs. Do
not fully tighten the knobs.

Aiming
The Vari-Tilt yoke assembly allows for
horizontal and vertical aiming adjustments of
the loudspeaker. The maximum angles for each
direction are shown in the table below.
Aiming the Loudspeaker
1. Supporting the weight of the cabinet, gently
rotate the yoke through the yoke mounting
plate / pinch plate assembly until the desired
aiming angle is achieved.
2. Once in position, use an open-ended wrench
and tighten the bolt firmly to lock the yoke
into position (see Figure 11).
3. Loosen the two yoke knobs and rotate the
loudspeaker until the desired aiming angle is
achieved.
4. Once in position, re-tighten the yoke knobs
by hand to secure the loudspeaker (see
Figure 11). Use of thread locking adhesive or
tools on these knobs is NOT recommended.
(See WARNING on page 8).
5. A safety cable attachment loop is built
into the rear of the loudspeaker cabinet
(Figure 12). Securely attach the cable to a
secondary mounting point on the structure.
IMPORTANT: Always use a safety cable! The
safety cable must be connected directly to the
loudspeaker enclosure and terminated at a
secondary mounting point.

Finalizing the Installation
Note: The tap switch can only be adjusted
using a flat-blade screwdriver
Note: The enlarged label shows the
70-volt/100-volt and 8 ohm power tap
settings for the CS6. With 100-volt
distribution, do not use the N.C. setting.
Figure 15. Correct orientation of logo plate
The final step is to verify the tap-position switch
is correctly set for your system requirements.
IMPORTANT: Adjustment of the tap-position
switch should be done before applying
power to the loudspeaker.
CAUTION: Adjustment of the tap-position
switch should only be performed without
power to the loudspeaker to prevent
potential damage to internal components.
Adjusting the Tap-Position Switch
1. The logo plates are in a separate bag in the
shipping carton. If the logo plate is already
installed on the grille, use the provided flat-
blade screwdriver to carefully pry the logo
plate away from the loudspeaker grille.
2. Referencing the Tap Position Switch
label behind the logo, use the flat-blade
screwdriver to adjust and verify the correct
setting for the system (Figure 14).
3. Taking note of the cabinet orientation, install
the logo plate with the logo pointing to the
left (Figure 15).
4. If necessary, a dry cloth can be used to
remove fingerprints and light dirt or dust
that may have resulted during installation.
Figure 14. Adjust the tap switch
C SERIES Surface Mount Installation and Operation Manual Page 11
Type of Paint
These loudspeakers’ ABS plastic cabinets
accept almost any type of latex or enamel
(oil based) paint. We recommend application
of two coats. Please note that painting the
grille requires spray painting.
Painting the Loudspeaker
Painting Process
Follow this procedure to obtain the best results:
1. Remove the grille.
2. Clean the grille assembly and the loudspeaker cabinet by rubbing
them with a lightly dampened cloth. Do not use abrasives such as
sandpaper or steel wool.
3. Mask the loudspeakers so that the surrounds, cones and center areas
will not receive any paint. We advise against using conventional
masking tape and NEVER use duct tape in this application; these
kinds of tape generally leave adhesive residue that can be dicult to
remove and that may actually cause damage. Painters tape is best.
4. After cleaning, apply two or more thin coats of either latex or oil-
based paints. Latex paint will adhere better if an oil-based primer is
used first. Apply the paint with a roller or brush, or spray it on, except
as noted below.
5. The grille should be painted separately, and not in place on the
loudspeaker. We further recommend that you remove the grille’s
internal cloth mesh, then spray paint the grille assembly. Avoid using
a roller or brush to paint the grille as its metal perforated holes may
become clogged with paint, which degrades sound quality and also
may attenuate the sound. Reinstall the internal cloth mesh (or if
damaged install a new cloth mesh).
CAUTION: NEVER use abrasives,
gasoline, kerosene, acetone, methyl
ethyl ketone (MEK), paint thinner,
harsh detergents or other chemicals. These
chemicals and agents may permanently
damage the finish. Some are also toxic and
highly flammable.
