The EAW MK8126iMT BLACK is a 300W 8-inch passive 2-way loudspeaker designed for 70V/100V distributed audio systems, offering exceptional sound clarity and reliable performance. It is part of the MK8126i series, which is renowned for setting a new standard in installation performance, particularly in challenging spaces where compact loudspeakers are required but where traditional models fall short. Despite its smaller size compared to many compact loudspeakers, the MK8126iMT BLACK outperforms these systems, providing more power and a better listening experience, making it ideal for use in commercial and industrial environments such as hotels, auditoriums, conference rooms, and houses of worship.
The MK8126iMT BLACK is engineered with an advanced 8-inch low-frequency (LF) transducer featuring a 2-inch voice coil in a vented design, ensuring a robust and accurate bass response. The high-frequency (HF) section utilizes a 1-inch exit, 1.4-inch voice coil compression driver mounted on a constant directivity (CD) horn. This horn is larger than those typically found in compact two-way loudspeakers, which enables it to extend its pattern control lower into the midrange frequencies. This innovation ensures that the horn’s pattern overlaps with the woofer’s pattern in the critical crossover area, eliminating the off-axis voids often found in traditional two-way loudspeakers. The result is a more even and consistent coverage throughout the space.
One of the key features of the MK8126iMT BLACK is its advanced beamwidth-matching crossover system, which optimizes the transition point between the LF and HF drivers. By carefully selecting the crossover point where the HF horn’s 120 horizontal x 60 vertical coverage pattern matches the woofer’s pattern, the system eliminates beamwidth mismatch. This results in a smooth, coherent sound without the off-axis voids typically present in other two-way systems. Additionally, the internal passive crossover/filter network is designed to do more than just divide the signal; it performs critical equalization functions that ensure a balanced and natural sound across the entire frequency range.
With an operating range from 65Hz to 19kHz, the MK8126iMT BLACK covers a wide frequency spectrum, allowing for high-quality reproduction of both speech and music. The speaker provides an impressive maximum SPL of 130 dB (12 dB crest factor) and 124 dB (6 dB crest factor), delivering powerful, clear sound even in larger spaces. The speaker’s high power handling capacity allows it to perform at its best in demanding environments, where high output is essential.
The MK8126iMT BLACK offers versatile installation options thanks to its user-rotatable horn, which allows the speaker to be mounted either vertically or horizontally, depending on the installation requirements. The loudspeaker comes with a U-bracket for secure and flexible mounting, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. It also features dual NL4 connectors and a barrier strip for easy and secure wiring, ensuring a reliable connection in any setup.
Designed for use in distributed systems, the MK8126iMT BLACK is a 70V/100V loudspeaker, making it perfect for installations where long cable runs and multiple speakers need to be connected to a single amplifier. Its rugged construction, combined with the wear-resistant black textured finish, ensures durability and longevity in demanding environments.
