The EAW MK2364i-WP BLACK is a 600W 12-inch passive 2-way portable loudspeaker designed to deliver high-output, clear sound reinforcement for a wide range of applications. This versatile loudspeaker is ideal for smaller venues such as houses of worship, auditoriums, corporate A/V systems, hotel ballrooms, and meeting rooms. It also excels in larger venues, including large houses of worship, stadiums, arenas, nightclubs, and themed entertainment complexes, where it can serve as a main PA element or as part of a distributed sound system. With an IP56 rating, the MK2364i-WP BLACK is built to withstand harsh weather conditions, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, ensuring reliable performance in demanding environments.

The MK2364i-WP BLACK features a 12-inch low-frequency (LF) driver with a 3-inch voice coil, providing deep, controlled bass. The high-frequency (HF) section is driven by a 1.4-inch exit, 3-inch voice coil compression driver, horn-loaded to deliver a 60 x 45 beamwidth, which ensures wide coverage and consistent directivity. This large horn design is optimized to maintain directivity across the entire high-frequency passband, delivering clear and intelligible sound even in larger spaces. The combination of the LF and HF drivers results in clean, high-fidelity output that exceeds expectations for a speaker of this size and price, making the MK2364i-WP BLACK an ideal choice for both speech reinforcement and music playback.

To achieve the best performance, the MK2364i-WP BLACK incorporates EAW’s beamwidth-matching crossover and filter design, which ensures that the LF and HF drivers work seamlessly together. This technology eliminates phase issues and delivers smooth power response throughout the crossover region, providing a natural, consistent sound. The loudspeaker can operate in both single-amp and bi-amp modes, offering flexibility for different system setups. In bi-amp mode, users can independently control the LF and HF frequencies using an external processor, providing greater control over the sound and optimizing performance for complex installations.

The MK2364i-WP BLACK offers an operating range from 65 Hz to 16 kHz, providing full-range sound reproduction for a variety of audio applications. The speaker’s maximum SPL of 141 dB and calculated axial output limits of 123 dB (average) and 129 dB (peak) ensure that it can handle high-output sound reinforcement without distortion, making it suitable for live events, conferences, and other high-energy applications. The speaker’s sensitivity of 95 dB (LF/HF), 97 dB (LF), and 107 dB (HF) ensures clear, intelligible sound even at lower volumes.

The MK2364i-WP BLACK is housed in a durable exterior-grade Baltic birch plywood enclosure, which minimizes resonance and provides excellent acoustic properties. The enclosure is finished with wear-resistant textured black paint, ensuring that it maintains its professional appearance even in high-traffic environments. The powder-coated perforated steel grille offers additional protection for the internal components while allowing optimal sound performance. With dimensions of 30 x 15.54 x 14.75 inches and a weight of 60 lbs, the MK2364i-WP BLACK is portable yet durable enough for permanent installations. It is designed to be installed in various configurations, whether mounted on a wall, placed on a stand, or used in a suspended array.
