The EAW MK2326i-WP BLACK is a 600W 12-inch passive 2-way portable loudspeaker designed to provide high-output sound reinforcement in smaller to medium-sized venues, such as houses of worship, auditoriums, corporate A/V systems, hotel ballrooms, and meeting rooms. It is also ideal for distributed or fill purposes in larger venues like stadiums, nightclubs, and large theaters. The MK2326i-WP BLACK is part of the MK2300i Series, engineered for demanding environments and high-performance audio applications. Featuring an IP56 rating, this loudspeaker is specifically designed for both indoor and outdoor use, offering superior durability and weather resistance, making it a reliable solution for a variety of installations, including those exposed to harsh environmental conditions.
At the heart of the MK2326i-WP BLACK is a 12-inch low-frequency (LF) driver with a 3-inch voice coil, providing deep bass output that complements the high-frequency (HF) compression driver. The HF section is driven by a 1.4-inch exit, 3-inch voice coil compression driver that is coupled to a horn, ensuring a 120 x 60 beamwidth for wide coverage. This large horn design ensures that directivity is maintained across the entire high-frequency passband, delivering consistent, clear sound throughout the venue. With a focus on high-output, the MK2326i-WP BLACK delivers clean, high-fidelity output with a peak SPL of 128 dB, making it suitable for both speech and music reinforcement.
The MK2326i-WP BLACK is designed to perform at significantly higher levels than what would be expected from a speaker of its size and price. EAW’s beamwidth-matching crossover and filter design ensures that the LF and HF drivers work seamlessly together, delivering even power response throughout the crossover region and eliminating any phase issues. Whether using the single-amp or bi-amp operating modes, users can expect excellent performance in both setups. The bi-amp mode, which requires an external processor, allows for independent control of the LF and HF frequencies, providing even greater flexibility and precision for demanding applications.
With an operating range of 65 Hz to 18 kHz, the MK2326i-WP BLACK provides full-range sound, capable of delivering both the deep low end required for powerful music playback and the crisp high end for clear speech reinforcement. The loudspeaker’s axial sensitivity of 95 dB (LF/HF), 97 dB (LF), and 100 dB (HF) ensures high clarity, while the calculated axial output limits of 122 dB (average) and 128 dB (peak) guarantee that the speaker can handle high-output scenarios without distortion. The MK2326i-WP BLACK is also equipped with a high-pass filter that starts at 60 Hz to ensure that low-frequency content is handled appropriately, preserving the clarity of the high frequencies and enhancing overall performance.
The MK2326i-WP BLACK is housed in an exterior-grade Baltic birch plywood enclosure, which is both durable and acoustically favorable, minimizing resonance and providing a clean sound profile. The wear-resistant textured black paint finish ensures that the speaker will withstand the rigors of both indoor and outdoor use, maintaining its professional appearance over time. The speaker’s powder-coated perforated steel grille protects the internal components while allowing optimal sound dispersion. At a size of 30 x 15.54 x 14.75 inches and a weight of 60 lbs, the MK2326i-WP BLACK is portable enough for mobile applications, yet durable enough for fixed installations.
