EAW MK2326i-WP BLACK

Passive 2-way Full Range Loudspeaker 120 x 60

The MK Series is EAW’s state-of-the-art, passive, two-way systems specifically engineered for permanent installation.

The series includes three sub-series each of which shares a common enclosure as well as three dedicated subwoofer systems. All MK Series systems feature large-format HF horns that maintain pattern control throughout the crossover region, enabling EAW’s beamwidth matching crossover technology that improves performance through the crossover region.

DESCRIPTION
• Premium Performance
• Application Flexibility

The MK2300i Series of 2-way, high output, trapezoidal loudspeaker systems
are designed as main PA elements for smaller venues, including small houses
of worship and auditoriums/theaters, corporate A/V systems, hotel ballrooms
and meeting rooms. The Series is also excellent for distributed or fill purposes
in larger venues, including large houses of worship and auditoriums/theaters,
arenas, stadiums, nightclubs, and themed-entertainment complexes.

To meet the design goals for the intended applications, EAW engineers
developed a new, high performance, 3-inch voice coil, 1.4-in exit compression
driver, loading it with a selection of six different HF horns with coverage patterns
ranging from 60° x 45° to 120° x 60°. The horns are as large as the enclosure size
allows to maintain consistent directivity throughout the HF passband. A 3-inch
voice coil, 12-inch LF driver was used to complement the sonic character and
output of the HF driver. All MK2300i models are carefully voiced to sound similar,
permitting diverse horn patterns to be mixed throughout an installation while
maintaining the same sonic quality. The result is clean, high-fidelity output at
significantly higher levels than would be expected from loudspeakers of this
size and price.

Users can select between single-amp and bi-amp (external processor) operating
modes. In either operating mode, EAW’s beamwidth-matching crossover/
filter design delivers even power response throughout the crossover region,
eliminating the discontinuities that plague other two-way loudspeakers.

The MK2300i Series systems are the smaller companions to the MK5300i Series
systems. Enclosures for both series are the same height, facilitating installation
where more than one horn pattern and/or type of loudspeaker capability is
needed. In addition, SBK Series subwoofers also share this height, creating
attractive arrays that use EAW’s preconfigured accessory flybar.
