Description
The EAW MK8196zPL-WP is a high-performance, 300W, 8-inch passive 2-way portable loudspeaker designed for installations requiring both reliability and flexibility. With its IP56 rating, this speaker is built to withstand demanding environments, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications in venues such as houses of worship, auditoriums, stadiums, and themed entertainment complexes. The MK8196zPL-WP offers exceptional sound clarity and broad coverage with its 90° horizontal x 60° vertical beamwidth, ensuring consistent, full-range audio even in acoustically challenging spaces.
One of the standout features of the MK8196zPL-WP is its carefully engineered HF horn, which is loaded with a 1-inch exit, 1.5-inch voice coil compression driver. The design of the horn is larger than traditional compact two-way systems, enabling extended pattern control into the midrange frequencies. This allows for a seamless overlap between the horn's pattern and the woofer's pattern at the critical crossover area. The result is a smooth, continuous sound wave with no off-axis voids, delivering uniform coverage across the entire listening area. The advanced beamwidth matching crossover point selection ensures that transitions between the high-frequency and low-frequency subsystems occur exactly where the horn and woofer's patterns align.
The MK8196zPL-WP is equipped with an internal passive crossover/filter network that goes beyond simple signal division. This sophisticated network uses complex, asymmetrical slopes to integrate the two subsystems and performs necessary equalization functions, ensuring that power response is smooth and consistent. This design allows the speaker to be powered by a single amplifier channel while achieving optimal performance.
For installation flexibility, the MK8196zPL-WP features a user-rotatable horn, allowing the speaker enclosure to be mounted both vertically and horizontally, providing the freedom to adapt the loudspeaker's orientation based on the specific needs of the space. This loudspeaker can easily accommodate various configurations.
With a power rating of 300W and a maximum SPL of 130 dB (12 dB crest factor), the MK8196zPL-WP is capable of delivering high-output sound that can fill large spaces while maintaining excellent clarity. The speaker's operating range spans from 65 Hz to 19 kHz, covering a wide frequency range for a full-spectrum audio experience. Its rugged, weather-resistant design ensures it can handle both outdoor and indoor applications, providing dependable performance in diverse environments.
Constructed from exterior-grade Baltic birch plywood and finished in a durable black coat, the MK8196zPL-WP is built for long-term reliability. It includes a U-bracket for mounting, making installation in fixed or portable setups easy and secure. The speaker's dimensions (19.75 x 11.75 x 11.03 inches) and weight (30 lbs net, 36 lbs shipping) ensure that it is both compact and portable, without sacrificing sound quality or power.
