Each Tandem Drive² enclosure is protected with TufCoat, a tough finish that is highly resistant to knocks and scratches, and features ErgoGrip handles. Inside each box, proprietary LF drivers feature Community's new, patented, Cool-Coil technology and every model is internally safeguarded with DynaTech, a protection circuit which guarantees maximum output without the risk of speaker damage, say the company. Both full-range systems can be bi-amped without the need for an external crossover and include a midrange cut-boost switch for sound modelling on the fly.
The full-range TD212 (49lbs) and the TD215 (71lbs) both employ Community's horn-loaded 90 x 40° UC1 HF driver and dual Cool-Coil woofers. The dual woofers, one front firing and one down firing, give extended LF response and efficiency in a compact enclosure, say the company. The low mass, Ferrofluid-cooled high frequency driver dissipates heat quickly and is fitted with a non-metallic diaphragm to increase internal damping, reduce ringing, and provide a more accurate response with extremely low distortion.
The TD215S (92lbs) and TD218S (144lbs) subwoofers use dual 15" and 18" Cool-Coil drivers respectively, in vented cabinets. Both systems employ Community's Load Matching full-range output and incorporate an LF filter bypass switch. Accessories for the Tandem Drive² Series include Community's Strapkit: three heavy-gauge steel straps for attaching rigging to threaded inserts (for all models except the TD218S). For permanent installations, the WB1 wall-mount bracket kit attaches to the sides or top/bottom of Tandem full range loudspeakers for adjusting either vertical or horizontal mounting angle. Heavy-duty castors are available for the TD218S for mobile use and both sub systems make a rock-solid base for full range systems when using the MP33 or SB5 mounting pole.
Tandem Drive² Series loudspeaker and crossover components are covered against manufacturing defects under Community's 5-year transferable limited warranty, say Community.
