EAW MK2394i-WP - 600W 12-inch Passive 2-Way IP56-Rated Portable Loudspeaker with 90 x 45-Degree Coverage in Black Finish

The EAW MK2394i-WP BLACK is a 600W 12-inch passive 2-way loudspeaker designed for high-performance audio applications in a variety of environments. Perfect for both small and large venues, it excels as a main PA speaker in smaller spaces like houses of worship, auditoriums, corporate A/V systems, hotel ballrooms, and meeting rooms. Additionally, it performs well as a distributed or fill speaker in larger venues such as large houses of worship, stadiums, nightclubs, arenas, and themed entertainment complexes. With an IP56 rating, the MK2394i-WP BLACK is built to withstand the elements, making it suitable for outdoor installations as well as indoor applications. Its black finish ensures that it remains aesthetically appropriate for any environment, offering both durability and style.

Equipped with a 12-inch low-frequency (LF) driver featuring a 3-inch voice coil and a 1.4-inch exit, 3-inch voice coil high-frequency (HF) compression driver, the MK2394i-WP BLACK delivers exceptional output with remarkable clarity. The 90° x 45° beamwidth horn design ensures even coverage and consistent directivity across the entire listening area. This ensures that sound is distributed evenly, with no significant drop-offs or inconsistencies in coverage, making it ideal for both speech and music applications. The high-quality transducers and horn design allow for clean, high-fidelity output at much higher sound pressure levels than might be expected from a speaker of this size and price.

The MK2394i-WP BLACK utilizes EAW's beamwidth-matching crossover and filter design to achieve a seamless transition between the LF and HF drivers. This ensures a smooth and even power response across the entire frequency range, eliminating the discontinuities and phase issues that are often present in other loudspeakers. The MK2394i-WP BLACK offers versatility in its operation with the ability to function in both single-amp and bi-amp modes. In bi-amp mode, an external processor independently controls the LF and HF drivers, providing greater control over performance and allowing for optimal system tuning in complex setups.

With an operating range of 65 Hz to 19 kHz, the MK2394i-WP BLACK ensures that it can accurately reproduce both deep bass and crisp highs. Its axial sensitivity of 95 dB (LF/HF), 97 dB (LF), and 106 dB (HF) ensures clear and intelligible sound at both low and high volumes. With a calculated axial output limit of 123 dB (average) and 129 dB (peak) for the LF/HF section, and 125 dB (average) and 131 dB (peak) for the LF section, the MK2394i-WP BLACK is capable of reaching a maximum SPL of 140 dB without distortion, making it suitable for demanding live sound applications.

Constructed from exterior-grade Baltic birch plywood, the MK2394i-WP BLACK is both durable and acoustically efficient, ensuring minimal resonance and maximum sound clarity. The wear-resistant textured black paint finish and the powder-coated perforated steel grille offer both protection and aesthetic appeal, allowing the speaker to blend into any environment. With dimensions of 30 x 15.54 x 14.75 inches and a weight of 60 lbs, the MK2394i-WP BLACK offers portability for temporary installations while being sturdy enough for permanent installations. The loudspeaker offers versatile mounting options, including wall mounting, pole mounting, or suspension in arrays, making it adaptable for various types of installations.
