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

The EAW MK2399i WHITE is a 600W 12-inch passive 2-way portable loudspeaker, engineered for high output and versatility, making it an ideal solution for smaller venues such as houses of worship, auditoriums, corporate A/V systems, hotel ballrooms, and meeting rooms. Its white finish adds a professional aesthetic suitable for installations where visual appearance is as important as acoustic performance. The MK2399i WHITE is also effective for larger venues, such as large auditoriums, arenas, stadiums, nightclubs, and themed entertainment complexes, offering both main PA and distributed fill applications.

This loudspeaker features a high-performance design that includes a 12-inch low-frequency (LF) driver with a 3-inch voice coil, providing deep and powerful bass. The high-frequency (HF) section incorporates a 1.4-inch exit, 3-inch voice coil compression driver, which is horn-loaded for superior directivity and clarity. The 90° x 90° nominal beamwidth of the horn ensures uniform sound coverage throughout the listening area, ideal for a wide range of audio requirements.

With an operating range of 65 Hz to 18 kHz, the MK2399i WHITE is capable of delivering full-range sound with exceptional clarity and high-fidelity output. The calculated peak SPL of 137 dB and a sensitivity of 94 dB (whole space SPL) allow the loudspeaker to provide clean and powerful sound reproduction, even in large spaces. The design of the crossover/filter ensures seamless power response across the frequency spectrum, eliminating issues like discontinuities often found in inferior two-way systems.

The MK2399i WHITE offers flexibility in operation, with both single-amp and bi-amp modes available, depending on the user's needs. The external signal processing includes a high-pass filter with a 60 Hz cutoff, along with DSP with 2-way filters, allowing for better low-end management and optimizing overall performance. This makes it an excellent choice for diverse environments, ensuring precise audio control and quality in all settings.

The enclosure of the MK2399i WHITE is built from durable exterior-grade Baltic birch plywood, providing both strength and resonant-free sound quality. The speaker is finished with wear-resistant textured white paint, ensuring longevity and durability in various installation environments. Additionally, the powder-coated perforated steel grille protects the internal components without compromising the acoustics.

Designed for both portable use and permanent installation, the MK2399i WHITE integrates seamlessly into arrays alongside other EAW loudspeakers and subwoofers. Its height-matching design with the MK5300i Series and SBK Series subwoofers makes it compatible with EAW's preconfigured accessory flybars, creating visually appealing and high-performance sound reinforcement setups.
