EAW MW10 - 500W 10-inch Passive 2-Way Stage Monitor with 90 x 90-Degree Coverage in Black Finish

The EAW MW10 is a 500W passive 2-way stage monitor that blends exceptional performance with ergonomic design. Developed through collaboration between Dave "Rat" Levine, the inventor of the original MicroWedge Series, and the EAW Engineering Department, the MW10 features a coaxial design pairing a 10-inch woofer with a 2.5-inch voice coil compression driver. This design ensures full yet controlled 90-degree conical dispersion, providing a uniform sound field across the entire frequency range. By placing all frequencies from the same point, the MW10 eliminates issues typically associated with crossovers, such as time and phase irregularities, thus optimizing coherency and sound clarity. This results in a more accurate and cohesive performance, whether used as a stage monitor or a console bridge monitor.

The MW10's coaxial approach allows for a very compact, low-profile footprint, making it ideal for use in tight spaces. The front port enhances low-frequency response by coupling with the floor, improving bass performance in stage environments. Additionally, the front port houses a convenient carrying handle and dual NL4 connectors, ensuring quick and easy setup. Designed for versatility, the MW10 performs equally well when used as a stage monitor or console bridge monitor, offering a sturdy balance for upright placement on the backside of a console. A pair of NL4 connectors simplifies console setup, while an optional pole mount provides further flexibility for use in various scenarios. The rugged Baltic birch enclosure, available in both black and white finishes, is highly durable. The black version is coated with EAW's RoadCoat finish, providing superior scratch resistance, while the white monitors are coated with an extremely durable latex finish. The sturdy steel grille ensures the monitor maintains its shape even when subjected to rough handling, such as being stepped on. Points for Omni-mount plates located at the bottom aid in hanging the monitor, expanding its range of potential uses.

For enhanced performance, the MW10 can be optimized with the EAW UX8800 digital signal processor. This speaker is built to withstand demanding environments and is backed by a 6-year warranty, underscoring EAW's commitment to quality and durability. Whether you're looking for a stage monitor that offers superior clarity and coherence or a console bridge monitor with flexible mounting options, the MW10 delivers high performance in a compact and ergonomic design.
