EAW MKD1096 - 1000W 2 x 10-inch Passive 2-Way Installation Loudspeaker with 90 x 60-Degree Coverage in Black Finish

The EAW MKD1096 BLACK is a 1000W passive 2-way installation loudspeaker engineered to provide high-output performance, exceptional fidelity, and broadband pattern control for a variety of professional audio applications. Designed for real-world environments ranging from large stadiums to intimate music clubs, the MKD1096 BLACK is the ideal choice for installations where precise sound control and consistent coverage are essential. The speaker features dual 10-inch low-frequency transducers and a 1.4-inch exit, 4-inch Neodymium compression driver, delivering dynamic sound with clarity and depth. The speaker's black finish ensures it blends seamlessly into a variety of settings, while its compact and durable Baltic birch enclosure makes it suitable for both permanent and temporary installations.

Leveraging the design principles from EAW's QX series, the MKD1096 BLACK utilizes a pair of spaced low-frequency transducers centered around a large-format, rotatable horn. This configuration allows for precision broadband pattern control, ensuring optimal sound distribution across a wide area. The beamwidth-matched crossover technology in the MKD1096 BLACK allows the transducers to be driven an octave lower than standard drivers, providing a richer, fuller low-frequency response and enhanced overall performance. The speaker's nominal beamwidth of 90° horizontal and 60° vertical ensures that sound is evenly distributed across the coverage area, making it perfect for venues that require precise, consistent audio coverage. With a maximum SPL of 142 dB (12 dB crest factor) and a flat SPL of 136 dB (6 dB crest factor), the MKD1096 BLACK can produce loud, clear sound at high levels without distortion.

Designed for flexible installation, the MKD1096 BLACK features 12 M10 mounting points for secure rigging and easy integration into a variety of audio setups. The speaker can be mounted horizontally or vertically using the optional U-bracket or M10 eyebolts, allowing for easy alignment and placement in different environments. Additionally, the MKD1096 BLACK offers weather protection options, making it suitable for outdoor installations or environments that are exposed to the elements. The speaker's gently curved front, along with custom color options, ensures that it can be integrated discreetly into visually sensitive installations, while its robust design ensures long-lasting durability and performance. Whether used for permanent installations or temporary setups, the MKD1096 BLACK is a reliable and powerful choice for professional audio needs.
