The EAW MK8126iMTPL-WP BLACK is a 300W 8-inch passive 2-way loudspeaker designed for high-performance installation applications where compactness and robust sound quality are key. This IP56-rated speaker is built to withstand the elements, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor installations in environments such as small houses of worship, corporate A/V systems, hotel ballrooms, auditoriums, and more. It also excels in larger distributed or fill applications, providing clear, consistent audio coverage in areas like arenas, stadiums, nightclubs, and themed entertainment venues.
Despite its compact size, the MK8126iMTPL-WP BLACK offers performance that exceeds expectations. The speaker features a high-performance 8-inch low-frequency (LF) driver with a 2-inch voice coil, ensuring deep, full-range bass reproduction. 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 larger horn design allows the MK8126iMTPL-WP BLACK to achieve superior pattern control across the midrange frequencies, with the horn’s coverage pattern extending lower than that of traditional compact two-way systems. This overlap between the LF and HF patterns ensures smooth sound coverage throughout the critical crossover region.
The MK8126iMTPL-WP BLACK integrates an advanced beamwidth-matching crossover design, which carefully selects the transition points where the horn’s 120 horizontal and 60 vertical beamwidth perfectly matches the LF driver’s pattern. This eliminates the beamwidth mismatch often seen in traditional two-way systems, which can create off-axis voids and poor sound coverage. The speaker also features a passive crossover/filter network with complex, asymmetrical slopes that not only split the signal but also apply essential equalization to ensure a smooth and balanced power response.
With a broad operating range of 65Hz to 19kHz, the MK8126iMTPL-WP BLACK delivers a high level of clarity and precision across a wide frequency spectrum. Its maximum SPL of 130 dB (12 dB crest factor) and 124 dB (6 dB crest factor) provides powerful output for both foreground and background audio applications. The speaker’s nominal impedance of 8 and efficient design ensure compatibility with both 70V and 100V distributed systems, making it a versatile solution for a variety of audio setups.
One of the standout features of the MK8126iMTPL-WP BLACK is its user-rotatable horn, which allows the enclosure to be mounted either vertically or horizontally depending on the application. This flexibility ensures optimal sound dispersion and makes installation easier in any environment. The speaker is also equipped with a U-bracket for secure mounting, ensuring long-term durability and ease of placement.
Designed for long-lasting reliability, the MK8126iMTPL-WP BLACK is built with rugged materials, including an exterior-grade Baltic birch plywood enclosure and a wear-resistant textured black finish. The speaker is perfect for both fixed and portable installations, with a shipping weight of 36 lbs and compact dimensions of 19.75 x 11.75 x 11.03 inches.
