The EAW MK80PL-WP BLACK is a 450W passive 2-way portable loudspeaker designed to deliver high-quality audio with exceptional durability. As part of the MKC series, it represents a significant advancement in coaxial loudspeaker technology. The MKC80PL-WP BLACK is equipped with an 8-inch low-frequency transducer and a 1-inch exit compression driver with a 35mm voice coil, providing powerful, full-range sound. Its Concentric Summation Array (CSA) design ensures superior dispersion, fidelity, and output, making it ideal for both portable and permanent installations. With an IP56 rating for dust and water resistance, the MKC80PL-WP BLACK is built to withstand the elements, making it suitable for use in both indoor and outdoor environments.

The MK80PL-WP BLACK offers a wide coverage area with its nominal beamwidth of 90 x 60 degrees, which is rotatable to adapt to different deployment configurations. This ensures that the speaker delivers even sound coverage across large areas, whether mounted vertically or horizontally. It is capable of producing a maximum SPL of 132 dB (12 dB crest factor) and 126 dB (6 dB crest factor), making it ideal for applications that require high-output sound with clear, dynamic audio. With a frequency range of 60Hz to 20kHz and an axial sensitivity of 93 dB, the MKC80PL-WP BLACK ensures high-fidelity sound with excellent clarity, while the calculated axial output of 120 dB average (132 dB peak) ensures powerful audio reproduction.

For maximum versatility, the MK80PL-WP BLACK can be deployed in a variety of configurations using its flexible mounting options. It can be mounted in either horizontal or vertical orientations using a pan & tilt wall bracket, or it can be mounted on a ceiling or microphone stand using the M6 threaded points. The speaker is also equipped with two M10 suspension points for more permanent rigging solutions. It supports both weather protection and transformer options, making it a great choice for outdoor installations or environments with varying weather conditions. Additionally, the MKC80PL-WP BLACK is optimized for use with the companion UXA4401 amplifier, which delivers enhanced performance through EAW’s Focusing and DynO DSP technologies, ensuring optimal sound clarity and control.
