The Community R.15-3696 is a full-range, three-way triaxial loudspeaker that delivers excellent voice intelligibility and quality music playback, similar to the best-selling R.35-3896 loudspeaker, but in a more compact housing ideal for large installations where cost is a primary consideration.

The R.15-3696 is a fully horn-loaded triaxial three-way, full-range loudspeaker system designed to provide high quality voice and music reproduction in applications requiring extreme weather resistance.

It is designed to withstand long-term exposure to tough, environmental conditions and to provide musical performance normally only associated with indoor loudspeakers. The R.15-3696 features Biamp's innovative MultiSource Waveguide™ horn design; the output from the dual midrange compression drivers and 1-inch exit HF driver are combined seamlessly into a single time-coherent source, resulting in excellent musicality, intelligibility and dispersion consistency. The high efficiency 6.5-inch LF provides high sensitivity and full LF extension into the male voice speech range. The low LF/MR passive crossover point results in improved mid-range pattern control and elimination of horn coloration in the LF response.

The R.15-3696 is built using components engineered for the harshest environments, including heavily plated and powder coated internal components, conformal coated crossover components, water-resistant driver, and IP54 ingress protection for the grille. The steel bracket is heavily zinc-plated and powder coated and attached using stainless steel and brass hardware.

The R.15-3696 carries a 5-year product warranty and a 15-year enclosure warranty.
