{"product_id":"eaw-mk8196z-wh","title":"EAW MK8196Z 8in 2-Way Full Range Loudspeaker 90° x 60° (White)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe EAW MK8196z is a compact, high-performance loudspeaker designed to deliver exceptional sound quality for a variety of applications, setting a new standard for installation performance. This 300W 8-inch passive 2-way speaker is specifically designed to overcome the limitations of traditional compact loudspeakers while maintaining a smaller, more manageable size. Used in small houses of worship, corporate environments, auditoriums, or any venue requiring precise, high-quality audio, the MK8196z offers broad 90° horizontal by 60° vertical coverage, making it ideal for both foreground and background audio in indoor settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MK8196z stands out in the marketplace by addressing common issues faced by other compact two-way loudspeakers. It features a high-frequency (HF) horn loaded with a 1-inch exit, 1.5-inch voice coil compression driver, which is larger than most traditional compact two-way horns. This design provides superior pattern control and allows the horn to extend its coverage lower into the midrange frequencies. This extension improves the overlap of the HF horn's pattern with the woofer's pattern in the critical crossover area, resulting in smoother transitions and eliminating the beamwidth mismatch that causes off-axis voids commonly found in traditional two-way systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe internal passive crossover\/filter network within the MK8196z is engineered to integrate the subsystems seamlessly, using advanced asymmetrical slopes. This design smooths the power response, ensuring a balanced sound output. The system can be powered by a single amplifier channel while providing optimal crossover points. The speaker's user-rotatable horn allows for flexible mounting orientations, offering additional versatility in installation. With a maximum SPL of 130 dB (12 dB crest factor) and 124 dB (6 dB crest factor), this loudspeaker can handle demanding environments and provide clear, powerful sound reproduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MK8196z is also built for durability and ease of installation. Its exterior-grade Baltic birch plywood enclosure ensures that it can withstand the demands of professional environments, while the sleek white finish allows it to blend into any setting. The included U-bracket mounting accessory makes it easy to position the loudspeaker for optimal coverage in a fixed installation or portable setup. The speaker's physical design and construction make it a reliable choice for long-term use in both commercial and residential applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e300W passive 2-way loudspeaker with 90° horizontal x 60° vertical beamwidth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8-inch woofer with 2-inch voice coil, vented design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1-inch exit, 1.4-inch voice coil compression driver with 120° x 60° CD horn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeamwidth-matched crossover points eliminate off-axis voids for improved coverage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating range from 65Hz to 19kHz for full-range audio reproduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum SPL of 130 dB (12 dB crest factor), 124 dB (6 dB crest factor)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle amp powering with internal crossover for smooth power response\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRotatable horn allows for flexible mounting - vertical or horizontal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt from durable Baltic birch plywood with a white finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes U-bracket for easy and secure mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 19.75 x 11.75 x 11.03 inches; Net weight: 30 lbs; Shipping weight: 36 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput connectors: NL4 x 2, Barrier Strip for versatile connectivity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePerformance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMax SPL (12 dB Crest Factor): 130 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMax SPL (6 dB Crest Factor): 124 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating Range: 65 Hz to 19 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNominal Beamwidth: 90° Horizontal x 60° Vertical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNominal Phase: +15° from ideal high-pass filter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput Impedance: LF\/HF = 8Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAccelerated Life Test\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLF\/HF: 49v\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower Rating: 300W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eConfiguration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLF Transducer, Loading: 1 x 8-inch Cone, 2-inch Voice Coil, Vented\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHF Transducer, Loading: 1 x 1-inch Exit, 1.4-inch Voice Coil Compression Driver, Horn Loaded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating Modes: Passive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePhysical\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions (HWD): 19.75 x 11.75 x 11.03 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNet Weight: 30 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShipping Weight: 36 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting Accessories: U-Bracket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput Connector: NL4 x 2, Barrier Strip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"EAW","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49010287739129,"sku":"MK8196Z-WH","price":2071.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0746\/5766\/1177\/files\/eaw_new_mk8196z-white-1.jpg?v=1788564475","url":"https:\/\/blackoutaudio.com\/products\/eaw-mk8196z-wh","provider":"Blackout Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
