EAW MK5394i 15in 2-Way Full Range Loudspeaker 90° x 45° (Black)

The EAW MK5394i is an 800W, 15-inch passive 2-way loudspeaker, designed to deliver powerful and high-fidelity sound reinforcement across a range of professional audio applications. This speaker is perfect for both smaller venues, such as houses of worship, auditoriums, corporate A/V systems, hotel ballrooms, and meeting rooms, and larger venues for distributed or fill purposes, including stadiums, arenas, nightclubs, and themed-entertainment venues. With its rugged, IP56-rated weather-resistant construction, the MK5394i excels in both indoor and outdoor environments, ensuring durable performance under various conditions.

The MK5394i is equipped with a 15-inch low-frequency (LF) driver and a 3-inch voice coil compression driver for the high frequencies, delivering a broad frequency response from 48 Hz to 16 kHz. This system is designed to produce clean and articulate highs as well as deep, punchy lows, ensuring full-range audio reproduction for a variety of content. The loudspeaker's nominal beamwidth of 90° x 45° ensures a wide, even coverage area, making it ideal for large spaces while maintaining clarity across the entire listening area. The horn-loaded design helps control the directivity of the sound, ensuring that it is focused in the desired coverage area with minimal dispersion.

With an impressive calculated axial output limit of 126 dB (average) and a peak output of 132 dB, the MK5394i is capable of reaching an exceptional maximum SPL of 140 dB, making it ideal for high-energy environments where high-volume audio is required. The speaker's sensitivity is 97 dB (LF/HF), which enables it to deliver high output levels efficiently. This loudspeaker ensures powerful, clear sound at any volume level.

The MK5394i offers flexible operation with both single-amp and bi-amp modes. The external signal processing includes a high-pass filter and DSP with 2-way filters to enhance the speaker's performance, while the beamwidth-matching crossover and filter design eliminate the frequency discontinuities often found in other two-way loudspeakers. This ensures consistent power response and transitions across the frequency spectrum, providing optimal sound quality in any installation.

The speaker's durable construction features an exterior-grade Baltic birch plywood enclosure, which provides strength, lightweight performance, and acoustic benefits, allowing the MK5394i to perform at its best. The enclosure is finished with wear-resistant textured black paint, offering protection against scratches and wear, while the powder-coated perforated steel grille shields the internal components from damage without compromising acoustics. The MK5394i's weather-resistant design ensures reliable performance, even in harsh outdoor environments, with an IP56 rating offering protection from dust and water.

At 77 lbs and with dimensions of 30 x 18.71 x 19.73 inches, the MK5394i provides a stable, portable solution for various sound reinforcement applications. This loudspeaker offers impressive sound power and clarity. It's backed by a six-year warranty, ensuring long-term reliability and peace of mind for users in professional settings.
