The EAW MK5399i BLACK is a high-performance, 800W passive 2-way portable loudspeaker designed to deliver powerful and clear audio for a wide range of professional applications. As part of the MK5300i Series, this speaker is optimized for use in both small and large venues, including houses of worship, auditoriums, corporate A/V systems, hotel ballrooms, meeting rooms, and large entertainment spaces such as stadiums, arenas, nightclubs, and themed-entertainment complexes. The MK5399i BLACK is engineered to offer consistent, high-fidelity sound at impressive volume levels, making it a versatile choice for any PA system.

The MK5399i BLACK features a robust 15-inch low-frequency (LF) driver and a 3-inch voice coil, 1.4-inch exit compression driver for high-frequency (HF) reproduction. This combination provides an exceptional operating range from 48 Hz to 18 kHz, ensuring that both the deep bass and the high-end frequencies are rendered with clarity and precision. With a nominal beamwidth of 90 x 90, the speaker is able to deliver broad and even sound coverage, making it ideal for large areas that require consistent and balanced audio distribution.

The speaker’s performance is enhanced by its high output capabilities. With a maximum SPL of 139 dB and calculated axial output limits of 127 dB (average) and 133 dB (peak) for both LF/HF and LF sections, the MK5399i BLACK can handle demanding audio levels without sacrificing sound quality. The EAW-designed beamwidth-matching crossover and filter design ensure a smooth transition between the LF and HF drivers, eliminating any frequency discontinuities that are commonly found in other two-way loudspeakers. This results in even power response throughout the crossover region, delivering a seamless listening experience across the entire frequency range.

For added flexibility, the MK5399i BLACK supports both single-amp and bi-amp (external processor) operating modes, making it adaptable to a wide variety of sound system configurations. The external signal processing includes a high-pass filter and DSP with 2-way filters, allowing users to optimize the speaker’s performance for specific applications. This speaker is also compatible with other MK5300i Series systems and SBK Series subwoofers, enabling it to be integrated into larger arrays using EAW’s preconfigured accessory flybar for a cohesive system setup.

Constructed with exterior-grade Baltic birch plywood, the MK5399i BLACK is both durable and acoustically optimal. The enclosure is finished in a wear-resistant textured black paint, ensuring long-lasting performance even in demanding environments. The powder-coated perforated steel grille provides additional protection while maintaining optimal acoustic transparency. The speaker is also designed with an IP56 rating, making it resistant to dust and water, ideal for both indoor and outdoor installations.

With its impressive power handling, clarity, and versatility, the EAW MK5399i BLACK is a reliable choice for professional sound reinforcement. Whether used as a main PA element for smaller venues or as a distributed loudspeaker in larger spaces, the MK5399i BLACK delivers exceptional sound performance that meets the needs of modern audio applications.
