EAW MK2399i - 600W 12-inch Passive 2-Way Portable Loudspeaker with 90 x 90-Degree Coverage in Black Finish

The EAW MK2399i BLACK is a high-performance 600W 12-inch passive 2-way loudspeaker designed to deliver exceptional sound quality and reliability for a wide range of applications. Featuring a robust black finish, this loudspeaker is engineered for use in smaller venues such as auditoriums, theaters, corporate A/V systems, hotel ballrooms, and meeting rooms. It also excels in larger venues, including large houses of worship, arenas, stadiums, nightclubs, and themed-entertainment complexes, making it a versatile solution for both main PA and distributed fill applications.

The MK2399i BLACK integrates a 12-inch low-frequency (LF) driver with a 3-inch voice coil, providing deep bass and powerful output. This is complemented by a 1.4-inch exit, 3-inch voice coil compression driver for the high frequencies, loaded with a horn that is specifically designed to maintain consistent directivity across the HF passband. The horn's 90° x 90° nominal beamwidth ensures wide and even sound coverage, making it ideal for both broad and focused coverage areas.

With an operating range of 65 Hz to 18 kHz, the MK2399i BLACK provides full-range audio with exceptional clarity and accuracy. The loudspeaker features a calculated peak SPL of 137 dB and a high sensitivity of 94 dB (whole space SPL), ensuring clear and powerful output, even in large and acoustically challenging environments. The advanced beamwidth-matching crossover/filter design ensures a smooth transition between the LF and HF drivers, preventing discontinuities that are often seen in lesser systems.

For optimal performance, users can select between single-amp or bi-amp operating modes, depending on their setup needs. The MK2399i BLACK also features a high-pass filter with a 60 Hz cutoff and DSP with 2-way filters, allowing for better low-end management and improved overall audio fidelity. This flexibility makes it suitable for a wide range of sound reinforcement applications.

Built with exterior-grade Baltic birch plywood, the MK2399i BLACK is both durable and resonant-free, delivering consistent sound quality without unwanted vibrations. The enclosure is finished with wear-resistant textured black paint, ensuring long-lasting protection, while the powder-coated perforated steel grille offers robust protection for the internal components without affecting the speaker's sound quality.

The MK2399i BLACK is engineered to be flexible in its deployment, making it a great choice for both portable use and permanent installation. Its compatibility with other EAW loudspeakers and subwoofers, as well as its height-matching design with the MK5300i Series and SBK Series subwoofers, makes it a key component in creating attractive, high-performance arrays for any venue.
