ENTASYS 200 System Information – 2
INTRODUCTION AND FEATURES
ENTASYS 200 column loudspeakers are innovative products oering entirely
new possibilities for solving dicult acoustical problems with ease, both
indoors and outdoors. Available in four sizes, the ENTASYS 200 models
have been expertly engineered to serve the wide range of applications
routinely encountered by professional sound contractors. Possessing
advanced features, highly-focused dispersion patterns, weather resistant
construction, and most importantly sonic excellence, ENTASYS 200 columns
make installations not only fast and simple, but as functionally eective as
possible.
The modern, unobtrusive appearance of ENTASYS 200 columns means they
will blend into virtually any room décor without calling undue attention to the
technology behind the sound. All models can be ordered in either medium-
gloss black or medium-gloss white finishes. They may also be field-painted
to match a specific color scheme or room finishes.
Each ENTASYS 200 model includes an appropriately-sized mounting bracket,
a built-in 70V/100V autoformer for constant voltage applications, and an
integral safety rigging point. Accessories include a universal mounting kit
for use with third-party mounting brackets, and a stand adapter kit with
an attachable tripod-stand mount that serves double duty as a handle for
portable usage.
QUICK PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The ENTASYS 200 family begins with two small column loudspeakers, the
ENT203 and ENT206. Powerful and unobtrusive, these models are intended
for use as foreground and background music, fill loudspeakers, ‘delay’ support
of larger systems, and as the primary PA in small environments.
The two larger models, the ENT212 and ENT220, are designed for use in medium
to medium-large spaces. Highly eective when used as the main system, they
can also be matched up with conventional point source loudspeakers, such
as the I SERIES and V SERIES models. Their very narrow vertical dispersion
precisely directs sound to specific room regions, thereby complementing the
inherently broader dispersion of trapezoidal full-range loudspeakers.
The ENTASYS 200 models provide a modern solution to the age old problem
of directing sound where it is needed - and nowhere else. By reducing room
reflections, musical clarity and speech intelligibility are greatly improved.
TECHNOLOGY AND DESIGN
The ENTASYS 200 models are point source loudspeakers that use vertically
stacked low and high frequency drivers to create medium to high pattern
control. Like a line source, the length of each array has been carefully
engineered to behave like a point source and provide coherent sound across
a wide bandwidth. ENTASYS 200 was designed to combine low frequency
point source and high frequency line source technologies in an aesthetically
pleasing compact vertical form. Since they function as point sources, the
ENTASYS 200 models produce more dynamic range and more dB per watt
while utilizing far less power. Their frequency response does not appreciably
change with distance, so within the optimized coverage area all listeners
receive the same sound experience.

introduction and overview
WHY COLUMN
LOUDSPEAKERS?
Because dierent jobs require
dierent tools, Community
oers a broad palette of
choices in the E SERIES family of
column loudspeakers. Column
loudspeakers oer unique
aesthetic and performance
alternatives to more traditional
loudspeaker options.
• ENTASYS FR (full range) and
ENTASYS LF (low frequency)
models oer true line source
performance in a scalable
fashion.
• ENTASYS 200 systems
(ENT 203, ENT206, ENT 212
and ENT 220) provide point
source performance in a
column format.

between ENTASYS FR/LF and
ENTASYS 200, refer to "Which
E SERIES System" later in this
