EAW MK5326i-WP 15in 2-Way Full Range Loudspeaker 120° x 60° Weatherproof (White)

The EAW MK5326i-WP is a high-performance, 800W passive 2-way portable loudspeaker designed to provide exceptional sound clarity and power for both small and large venues. Part of the MK5300i Series, this loudspeaker is ideal for a variety of applications, including houses of worship, auditoriums, hotel ballrooms, corporate AV systems, and nightclubs. It is also well-suited for fill purposes in larger venues such as stadiums and arenas, providing clear, high-fidelity sound with a maximum SPL of 139 dB. The MK5326i-WP offers superior performance while maintaining a clean, aesthetic design in a white finish, making it a versatile choice for permanent or portable installations in diverse environments.

The MK5326i-WP features a 15-inch low-frequency (LF) driver with a 3-inch voice coil, delivering impressive low-end power. The 1.4-inch exit, 3-inch voice coil high-frequency (HF) compression driver is paired with a horn-loaded design to ensure consistent, high-output sound with extended high-frequency performance. The horn's coverage pattern of 120° x 60° provides wide, even distribution of sound across large areas, ensuring that both the LF and HF components work together to produce clear and full-range sound. The speaker's performance is designed to meet the demands of various sound reinforcement applications, achieving a high axial sensitivity of 98 dB (LF/HF) and a frequency range of 48 Hz to 17 kHz.

With a calculated peak output of 133 dB and an average of 127 dB, the MK5326i-WP is capable of producing powerful sound for large-scale events while maintaining tonal accuracy. The high-pass filter and DSP with 2-way filters allow for enhanced system performance, and the speaker offers flexible operating modes, including both single-amp (LF/HF) and bi-amp (LF, HF) configurations. These modes, combined with the beamwidth-matching crossover/filter design, ensure that the MK5326i-WP delivers smooth, even power response and eliminates the typical discontinuities present in other loudspeakers.

The rugged enclosure is made of exterior-grade Baltic birch plywood and features a wear-resistant, textured white paint finish, ensuring durability and an attractive appearance that integrates seamlessly into a wide variety of environments. A powder-coated, perforated steel grille protects the components while allowing optimal sound transmission. Designed to withstand the elements, the MK5326i-WP has an IP56 rating, making it suitable for outdoor and harsh environments, where weather resistance is essential.

With dimensions of 30 x 18.71 x 19.73 inches and a weight of 77 lbs, the MK5326i-WP is a robust yet portable solution for high-output sound reinforcement. The speaker is compatible with EAW's preconfigured accessory flybar, which allows for easy rigging and suspension in large arrays, making it a flexible choice for scalable installations. With its high-quality performance, weather resistance, and versatile design, the MK5326i-WP provides the reliability and clarity needed for both indoor and outdoor applications.
