EAW MK2399i-WP - 600W 12-inch Passive 2-Way IP56-Rated Portable Loudspeaker with 90 x 90-Degree Coverage in Black Finish

The EAW MK2399i-WP BLACK is a 600W 12-inch passive 2-way portable loudspeaker designed for high-performance audio in both smaller and larger venues. With its rugged IP56-rated enclosure, the MK2399i-WP BLACK is built to withstand demanding environments, making it an ideal choice for both indoor and outdoor applications such as houses of worship, corporate A/V systems, auditoriums, hotel ballrooms, meeting rooms, arenas, stadiums, nightclubs, and themed entertainment complexes. Its ability to provide consistent sound coverage and high output makes it a versatile solution for main PA or distributed fill applications.

The MK2399i-WP BLACK features a high-performance 12-inch low-frequency (LF) driver with a 3-inch voice coil, delivering deep bass and clear, articulate sound. The 1.4-inch exit, 3-inch voice coil compression driver used in the high-frequency (HF) section is horn-loaded to ensure efficient directivity and clarity. The system provides a 90° x 90° nominal beamwidth, ensuring wide and uniform coverage across the listening area. This makes it suitable for a variety of setups, whether used as a primary PA speaker or in distributed applications across larger venues.

With a wide operating range from 65 Hz to 18 kHz, the MK2399i-WP BLACK produces a full-range sound capable of covering the essential frequencies needed for a wide array of audio systems. The loudspeaker's axial sensitivity of 94 dB (whole space SPL) ensures efficient output with a peak SPL of 137 dB, making it suitable for both quiet and highly dynamic performance environments. The MK2399i-WP BLACK's crossover/filter design optimizes the power response across the entire frequency range, delivering smooth, balanced sound without the typical discontinuities found in other two-way loudspeakers.

This loudspeaker offers the flexibility of both single-amp and bi-amp modes, with an external signal processing system that includes a high-pass filter set at 60 Hz with a 12 dB/octave Butterworth slope. The bi-amp mode allows for even greater precision in the distribution of power between the LF and HF components, making it possible to tailor the sound to specific needs. The integration of DSP with 2-way filters ensures optimal performance, while the built-in high-pass filter manages low-end frequencies efficiently to avoid distortion.

Constructed with exterior-grade Baltic birch plywood, the MK2399i-WP BLACK boasts a durable and resonant-free enclosure that helps deliver clear and natural sound reproduction. Its wear-resistant textured black paint finish and powder-coated perforated steel grille ensure the loudspeaker maintains its professional appearance and structural integrity, even in high-traffic environments.

The MK2399i-WP BLACK is designed to integrate seamlessly with other EAW loudspeakers and subwoofers, with a height-matching design that facilitates easy array configurations. It is also compatible with EAW's preconfigured accessory flybars, enabling straightforward installation and alignment. The six-year warranty ensures long-term reliability and peace of mind for users in various applications.
