EAW MK2366i - 600W 12-inch Passive 2-Way Portable Loudspeaker with 60 x 60-Degree Coverage in Black Finish

The EAW MK2366i BLACK is a 600W 12-inch passive 2-way portable loudspeaker designed for high-output, high-fidelity sound in a wide range of venues. Its robust performance makes it ideal for smaller venues such as houses of worship, auditoriums, theaters, corporate A/V systems, hotel ballrooms, and meeting rooms. The MK2366i BLACK also excels as a distributed or fill speaker in larger environments like large houses of worship, arenas, stadiums, nightclubs, and themed entertainment complexes. This versatile loudspeaker ensures consistent, clear sound in both main PA and fill applications. The MK2366i BLACK features a sleek, professional black finish, seamlessly blending into any venue's aesthetic while providing excellent sound coverage.

At the core of the MK2366i BLACK is a 12-inch low-frequency (LF) driver with a 3-inch voice coil, delivering deep and controlled bass response. The high-frequency (HF) section uses a 1.4-inch exit, 3-inch voice coil compression driver that is horn-loaded to deliver a 60° x 60° beamwidth for wide and consistent sound coverage. The large horn design ensures uniform directivity across the entire high-frequency passband, allowing for clarity and intelligibility even in larger spaces. This careful design of the LF and HF components ensures clean, high-fidelity output that exceeds expectations for a loudspeaker of this size and price.

The MK2366i BLACK utilizes EAW's advanced beamwidth-matching crossover and filter design, which optimizes the interaction between the LF and HF drivers. This innovative technology ensures even power response across the crossover region, eliminating phase discrepancies that can cause performance inconsistencies in other two-way loudspeakers. The MK2366i BLACK can operate in both single-amp and bi-amp modes, offering flexibility for various sound system setups. In bi-amp mode, external processing is required to independently control the LF and HF components, allowing for more precise tuning of the system and enhanced performance in complex installations.

The MK2366i BLACK provides a full operating range from 65 Hz to 17 kHz, making it suitable for a wide range of audio applications. With a maximum SPL of 139 dB and a calculated axial output limit of 123 dB (average) and 129 dB (peak), this loudspeaker can handle high-output sound reinforcement without distortion, ensuring that it delivers clear and powerful audio in demanding environments. The speaker's axial sensitivity of 95 dB (LF/HF), 97 dB (LF), and 105 dB (HF) ensures intelligibility and clarity, even at low volumes.

The MK2366i BLACK is housed in a durable, exterior-grade Baltic birch plywood enclosure, which ensures optimal sound quality by reducing unwanted resonance. The enclosure is finished with a wear-resistant textured black paint, making it both durable and aesthetically pleasing. A powder-coated perforated steel grille protects the internal components while maintaining acoustic transparency for optimal sound performance. With its dimensions of 30 x 15.54 x 14.75 inches and a weight of 60 lbs, the MK2366i BLACK is portable yet sturdy enough for permanent installations. It is designed for easy installation in various configurations, whether mounted on walls, placed on stands, or used in suspended arrays.
