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

The EAW MK2394i-WP WHITE is a high-performance 600W passive 2-way loudspeaker designed for a variety of venues, ranging from smaller spaces such as houses of worship, auditoriums, corporate A/V systems, hotel ballrooms, and meeting rooms, to larger venues like stadiums, arenas, nightclubs, and themed entertainment complexes. This loudspeaker excels both as a primary PA system and as a distributed fill speaker, offering versatility and exceptional sound quality. With its sleek white finish and IP56 rating, the MK2394i-WP WHITE is perfect for environments requiring both aesthetic appeal and reliable performance under challenging conditions, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations.

At the heart of the MK2394i-WP WHITE is a 12-inch low-frequency (LF) driver with a 3-inch voice coil and a 1.4-inch exit, 3-inch voice coil high-frequency (HF) compression driver. The HF driver is horn-loaded, ensuring high output with excellent clarity across the frequency range. The 90° x 45° beamwidth horn design provides wide, consistent coverage throughout the listening area, ensuring that the sound is evenly distributed across the venue. This directivity and consistent coverage allow the MK2394i-WP WHITE to deliver high-fidelity sound even in larger venues, making it ideal for both speech and music applications. The horn design has been optimized to achieve smooth performance across the high-frequency passband, maintaining clear and intelligible sound.

The MK2394i-WP WHITE utilizes advanced technology in its crossover and filter design, which includes EAW's beamwidth-matching technology to ensure seamless integration of the LF and HF drivers. This design eliminates phase discrepancies and frequency discontinuities that are often present in two-way loudspeakers, ensuring a uniform power response across the entire frequency range. Users can operate the MK2394i-WP WHITE in either single-amp or bi-amp modes, with bi-amping providing greater flexibility and control by allowing an external processor to independently manage the LF and HF drivers. This results in improved sound quality and system performance, particularly in more complex audio setups.

With an operating range of 65 Hz to 19 kHz, the MK2394i-WP WHITE ensures full-range sound reproduction, providing deep bass and crisp highs. The axial sensitivity is rated at 95 dB (LF/HF), 97 dB (LF), and 106 dB (HF), ensuring that the speaker can deliver clear sound even at higher output levels. 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 WHITE can achieve a maximum SPL of 140 dB, allowing it to perform in high-output applications without distortion.

Constructed from exterior-grade Baltic birch plywood, the MK2394i-WP WHITE boasts durability and acoustical efficiency. Its wear-resistant textured white finish not only ensures that the speaker can withstand the rigors of daily use but also allows it to blend seamlessly into any environment. The powder-coated perforated steel grille provides additional protection to the internal components while maintaining optimal sound transparency. With dimensions of 30 x 15.54 x 14.75 inches and a weight of 60 lbs, the MK2394i-WP WHITE strikes a balance between portability and durability. It is ideal for both permanent installations and portable applications, offering flexible mounting options such as wall mounting, pole mounting, or suspension in arrays for various installation needs.
