The iHP1296 is a premium quality, large format, full range loudspeaker system. The driver complement consists of a 12” (300mm) high power low frequency driver and a 1.4” (36mm) exit / 2.87” (72.2 mm) edgewound voice coil compression driver. The large format rotatable horn flare delivers well controlled 90˚ x 60˚ dispersion, and utilizes high order crossovers to minimize band overlap.

The well controlled off-axis response enhances system performance when combined with other iBOX Mid/Hi and subwoofer elements in clusters / arrays. The i112S and i212S subwoofer elements share the same cabinet profile and have been designed for integration with the iHP1296 for aesthetically pleasing clusters / arrays.

The iHP1296 can be used in both passive and bi-amp operating modes. The passive mode is designed to deliver outstanding performance without the use of a processor, while the bi-amp mode allows greater system flexibility. A compatible processor be used to enhance the LF response, provide a crossover function for use with iBOX subwoofer elements, and much more.

The rugged 13-ply Baltic birch enclosure is finished with Community’s new, robust, smooth Tuf-Coat™ finish. The enclosure also incorporates 23 load-rated M10 rigging points and 4 M8 Omnimount™ 120 inserts in the rear of the enclosure. Simple and flexible installation is achieved using optional hardware from an extensive range designed specifically for the iBOX series.

See the iBOX Hardware Guide for more details.
