The EAW MK8126iMTPL-WP is a high-performance, 300W passive 2-way loudspeaker designed for installation in both commercial and residential environments. Built to meet the demands of compact and efficient sound systems, the MK8126iMTPL-WP delivers exceptional performance while maintaining a smaller size than many traditional loudspeakers of its kind. With its IP56-rated enclosure, it offers superior durability for outdoor and exposed installations, ensuring that it can withstand the elements while delivering high-quality audio. This loudspeaker is ideal for use in small houses of worship, corporate AV systems, hotel ballrooms, meeting rooms, and other venues that require both versatility and reliability.
The MK8126iMTPL-WP features an advanced design that outperforms many compact loudspeakers. It integrates an 8-inch low-frequency (LF) woofer with a 1-inch exit, 1.4-inch voice coil compression driver, mounted on a constant directivity (CD) horn. The horn is larger than those used in traditional compact systems, allowing for extended pattern control lower into the midrange frequencies, which results in smoother, more uniform coverage. The horn’s pattern overlaps with the woofer’s pattern in the critical crossover area, which ensures a seamless transition between the LF and HF subsystems. This design minimizes the beamwidth mismatch that often causes off-axis voids in traditional two-way systems.
To further improve performance, the MK8126iMTPL-WP employs an advanced beamwidth-matching crossover design. This ensures that the horn’s 120 horizontal and 60 vertical coverage patterns are perfectly aligned with the woofer’s, eliminating the off-axis voids that often occur when crossover points are not optimized. The internal passive crossover and filter network utilizes complex asymmetrical slopes to integrate the subsystems, performing not just signal division but also critical equalization functions to smooth out the power response for greater clarity and consistency.
This loudspeaker’s versatility extends to its mounting options. The user-rotatable horn allows the speaker to be mounted either vertically or horizontally, depending on the needs of the installation. This flexibility enables users to optimize the speaker’s coverage pattern for their specific venue, whether they are filling a space with sound or directing it precisely where it’s needed. The system operates in passive mode, requiring only a single amplifier channel, which simplifies setup and operation while maintaining superior performance.
With a maximum SPL of 130 dB (12 dB crest factor) and 124 dB (6 dB crest factor), the MK8126iMTPL-WP delivers powerful, clear sound in both foreground and background applications. It has an impressive operating range of 65Hz to 19kHz, covering a broad frequency spectrum with exceptional clarity and detail. The speaker’s input impedance is 8, and it is designed for long-term reliability with an accelerated life test rating of 300W, ensuring robust operation even in demanding environments.
The EAW MK8126iMTPL-WP comes with a rugged, exterior-grade Baltic birch plywood enclosure and a white, wear-resistant textured finish. It is designed for easy installation with the included U-bracket, and it features two NL4 input connectors as well as a barrier strip for secure connections. This speaker is perfect for installation in both commercial and residential environments where high-quality audio and reliable performance are critical.
