The MVP37 is a two-way, full-range loudspeaker system. Outfitted with
dual cast frame 15-inch drivers the enclosure’s substantial low-end per-
formance allows the unit to easily provide full-bandwidth sound rein-
forcement without the use of subwoofers, while its overall height is such
that it can effortlessly project over the tops of crowds. Central to the
MVP37 is a bass-ported design and a one-piece 90x40 lrge format
molded horn section housing Community’s new proprietary LM20™
compression driver.
Just like all he other MVP Series, the MVP37 offers a Thermal-Link™
Driver Protection System automatically monitoring high frequency per-
formance. The Thermal-Link circuit is designed to automatically adjust
to the constantly changing protective threshold unique to a given appli-
cation based upon driver temperature. Solid-state and self-resetting,
this safeguarding network guarantees that each enclosure can remain
running at maximum output, without risk of speaker damage.
Externally corner protectors, recessed steel handles, rigging points, rub-
ber feet, a 16-guage steel grille, ¼” and locking connectors are all found
on each MVP37 enclosure.
