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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstructed 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.\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 coverage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8-inch woofer with 2-inch voice coil and vented design for deep, full-range sound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1-inch exit, 1.5-inch voice coil compression driver with 120° x 60° CD horn for extended pattern control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeamwidth-matching crossover points eliminate off-axis voids for uniform coverage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdvanced passive crossover with complex, asymmetrical slopes for optimal power response\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating range from 65 Hz to 19 kHz with a maximum SPL of 130 dB (12 dB crest factor)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUser-rotatable horn allows for flexible mounting (vertical or horizontal orientation)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRugged, weather-resistant IP56-rated enclosure, ideal for both indoor and outdoor installations\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\u003eIncludes U-bracket for secure mounting in various configurations\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":49010287608057,"sku":"MK8196ZPL-WP","price":3778.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0746\/5766\/1177\/files\/eaw_new_mk8196z-black-1_2afd619c-5a5b-40d0-80e1-db12ffd72e63.jpg?v=1788564474","url":"https:\/\/blackoutaudio.com\/products\/eaw-mk8196zpl-wp","provider":"Blackout Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
