EAW MK2326i - 600W 12-inch Passive 2-Way Portable Loudspeaker with 120 x 60-Degree Coverage in White Finish

The EAW MK2326i WHITE is a high-output, 600W 12-inch passive 2-way loudspeaker designed for high-fidelity sound reinforcement in smaller to medium-sized venues. Offering a blend of professional-grade performance and durability, the MK2326i WHITE is ideal for use in a variety of settings, including houses of worship, auditoriums, corporate A/V systems, hotel ballrooms, meeting rooms, and distributed or fill applications in larger venues like stadiums, nightclubs, and themed entertainment complexes. With its sleek white finish, the MK2326i WHITE seamlessly integrates into architectural environments while providing powerful sound reproduction. This versatile loudspeaker is engineered to meet the needs of both portable and permanent installations, delivering exceptional sound quality with higher levels of output than one might expect from speakers of this size and price.

The MK2326i WHITE is equipped with a high-performance 12-inch low-frequency (LF) driver with a 3-inch voice coil, providing deep, accurate bass and complementing the sound character of the high-frequency (HF) driver. The HF driver features a 1.4-inch exit, 3-inch voice coil compression driver that is loaded with a large horn, providing a nominal 120° x 60° beamwidth for wide sound coverage. The large horn maintains consistent directivity throughout the entire high-frequency passband, ensuring that sound is evenly distributed across the venue. This horn design ensures that the MK2326i WHITE delivers clear, intelligible sound even in larger spaces, where broad dispersion is needed for consistent coverage.

For superior performance, the MK2326i WHITE uses EAW's beamwidth-matching crossover and filter design, which ensures smooth, even power response throughout the crossover region. This design eliminates the discontinuities that commonly affect other two-way loudspeakers, providing a seamless transition between the LF and HF components. The MK2326i WHITE is equipped with both single-amp and bi-amp modes, allowing users to select the operating mode that best suits their needs. The bi-amp mode requires an external processor and allows for independent control of the LF and HF frequencies, providing optimal performance in demanding applications.

The MK2326i WHITE provides a frequency response range from 65 Hz to 18 kHz, offering full-range sound reproduction for a wide variety of audio applications. With a maximum SPL of 134 dB and an axial sensitivity of 95 dB (LF/HF), 97 dB (LF), and 100 dB (HF), this loudspeaker delivers clean, high-output sound even at high volumes. The calculated axial output limits of 122 dB (average) and 128 dB (peak) ensure that the MK2326i WHITE is capable of filling small to medium-sized venues with high-quality sound. Whether used for background music, speech reinforcement, or high-energy live performances, the MK2326i WHITE delivers a clear, dynamic audio experience in every application.

The durable enclosure of the MK2326i WHITE is constructed from exterior-grade Baltic birch plywood, offering both strength and excellent acoustic properties. The wear-resistant textured white paint finish ensures that the speaker maintains a professional appearance over time, while the powder-coated perforated steel grille protects the drivers and allows for optimal sound performance. The MK2326i WHITE's compact size (30 x 15.54 x 14.75 inches) and weight (60 lbs) make it easy to transport and install in various configurations. Whether mounted on a wall, placed on a stand, or used in a suspended array, the MK2326i WHITE offers flexible installation options for any venue.
