EAW MK2326i-WP 12in 2-Way Full Range Loudspeaker 120° x 60° Weatherproof (White)

The EAW MK2326i-WP is a 600W 12-inch passive 2-way portable loudspeaker, engineered to provide high-output sound reinforcement in a wide variety of venues, from small houses of worship and auditoriums to corporate A/V systems, hotel ballrooms, and meeting rooms. This versatile speaker is also ideal for distributed or fill applications in larger venues such as large houses of worship, stadiums, arenas, nightclubs, and themed entertainment complexes. With its sleek white finish, the MK2326i-WP is designed to blend seamlessly into any setting, while delivering powerful and clear sound for both portable and permanent installations. Its IP56 rating makes it suitable for outdoor use and harsh environments, ensuring durability and reliable performance wherever it is needed.

The MK2326i-WP features a carefully designed driver configuration that includes a 12-inch low-frequency (LF) driver with a 3-inch voice coil, offering deep bass response. The high-frequency (HF) section uses a 1.4-inch exit, 3-inch voice coil compression driver paired with a large horn, providing a 120° x 60° beamwidth for wide, consistent coverage across the venue. The horn's size is optimized to maintain directivity throughout the entire HF passband, ensuring that sound is evenly distributed with minimal distortion. This makes the MK2326i-WP perfect for larger venues where wide coverage is essential, ensuring that all areas of the space receive clear and intelligible audio.

To enhance the performance, the MK2326i-WP incorporates EAW's beamwidth-matching crossover and filter design. This design ensures that power is evenly distributed across the entire frequency range, eliminating phase issues and providing a smooth transition between the LF and HF drivers. The loudspeaker offers both single-amp and bi-amp operating modes, allowing users to choose the most appropriate setup for their needs. The bi-amp mode requires an external processor, providing independent control over the LF and HF drivers for more precise sound management in demanding environments.

With an operating range from 65 Hz to 18 kHz, the MK2326i-WP delivers a full-range audio experience, suitable for a variety of applications, from speech reinforcement to high-energy music playback. The loudspeaker's axial sensitivity of 95 dB (LF/HF), 97 dB (LF), and 100 dB (HF) ensures that it delivers clear, accurate sound at both low and high volumes. The calculated axial output limits of 122 dB (average) and 128 dB (peak) ensure the MK2326i-WP can handle high-output scenarios without distortion, making it ideal for live events and demanding audio environments. With a maximum SPL of 134 dB, this speaker can fill small to medium-sized venues with high-quality sound.

Constructed from exterior-grade Baltic birch plywood, the MK2326i-WP is built for durability and superior acoustic performance. The speaker is finished in a wear-resistant textured white paint, making it an ideal choice for installations where aesthetics are important. The powder-coated perforated steel grille offers protection for the internal components while allowing optimal sound performance. With compact dimensions of 30 x 15.54 x 14.75 inches and a weight of 60 lbs, the MK2326i-WP is easy to transport and install. Used as a standalone speaker or part of a larger system, it is designed to deliver reliable and high-quality audio in any environment.
