EAW MK2366i-WP - 600W 12-inch Passive 2-Way IP56-Rated Portable Loudspeaker with 60 x 60-Degree Coverage in Black Finish

The EAW MK2366i-WP BLACK is a high-performance 600W passive 2-way loudspeaker designed to deliver exceptional sound clarity and coverage for a variety of applications. With a 12-inch low-frequency (LF) driver and a 1.4-inch exit compression driver for high frequencies, this loudspeaker is perfect for use in smaller venues like houses of worship, auditoriums, and corporate A/V systems, as well as larger venues such as arenas, nightclubs, and themed-entertainment complexes. Its versatility makes it ideal for both main PA applications and distributed or fill purposes in larger installations. With an IP56 rating, the MK2366i-WP BLACK is also designed to withstand harsh outdoor environments, ensuring reliable performance even in the most demanding conditions.

The MK2366i-WP BLACK features a 12-inch LF driver with a 3-inch voice coil that provides deep, controlled bass, while the 1.4-inch exit compression driver with a 3-inch voice coil ensures clear and consistent high-frequency performance. The loudspeaker's 60° x 60° beamwidth ensures broad coverage across the venue, providing even sound distribution with consistent directivity throughout the entire high-frequency passband. This horn-loaded design ensures optimal sound projection, maintaining intelligibility and clarity across large areas. The combination of these high-performance drivers allows the MK2366i-WP BLACK to deliver clean, high-fidelity output, achieving far higher levels of sound pressure than would be expected from loudspeakers of this size and price.

The MK2366i-WP BLACK employs EAW's beamwidth-matching crossover and filter design, which ensures that the LF and HF drivers work seamlessly together. This technology results in smooth power response across the entire frequency range, preventing any phase issues or discontinuities in the crossover region, which are often found in other loudspeakers. The speaker can be configured in both single-amp and bi-amp modes, providing flexibility for various system designs. In bi-amp mode, an external processor is required to control the LF and HF drivers independently, allowing for precise system tuning and greater performance control, making it ideal for complex installations or demanding environments.

With an operating range from 65 Hz to 17 kHz, the MK2366i-WP BLACK covers a broad spectrum of sound frequencies, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, including speech and music reproduction. The speaker offers a calculated axial output limit of 123 dB (average) and 129 dB (peak) for the LF/HF section, 125 dB (average) and 131 dB (peak) for the LF section, and 127 dB (average) and 133 dB (peak) for the HF section. With a maximum SPL of 139 dB, the MK2366i-WP BLACK is capable of producing high-output sound for large venues without distortion, ensuring powerful and clear audio even in demanding scenarios. The axial sensitivity of 95 dB (LF/HF), 97 dB (LF), and 105 dB (HF) ensures optimal clarity at a variety of volume levels.

Built from durable, exterior-grade Baltic birch plywood, the MK2366i-WP BLACK enclosure is designed to minimize resonance, providing optimal acoustic properties for precise sound reproduction. The cabinet is finished with wear-resistant textured black paint, which not only enhances its durability but also ensures it looks professional in any setting. The powder-coated perforated steel grille provides protection for the internal components while allowing for maximum sound performance. With dimensions of 30 x 15.54 x 14.75 inches and a weight of 60 lbs, the MK2366i-WP BLACK is a compact yet sturdy solution for both portable and permanent installations. Its design allows for flexible mounting options, including wall mounting, stand placement, or suspending in arrays, making it adaptable for a wide variety of installation configurations.
