Eastern Acoustic Works MK8126-BLACK

The MK8126 2-way loudspeaker system sets the new standard in installation performance by solving the chronic problems of compact 2-way loudspeakers. Yet its size is actually smaller than many of the compact 2-ways it outperforms.

The HF horn loading the 1" exit/1.5" voice coil compression driver is larger than most traditional compact horns. This extends pattern control lower into that midrange than would otherwise be possible and allows the horn's pattern to overlap the woofer's pattern in the critical crossover area.

EAW's advanced beamwidth matching crossover selects a crossover point where the HF horn's beamwidth matches that of the woofer. This eliminates the beamwidth mismatch that creates off-axis voids in the crossover area of traditional 2-way systems.

The MK8126 provides a high performance solution to applications requiring the use of an ultra-compact 2-way loudspeaker system. Ideally suited to distributed systems, this small, powerful loudspeaker mounts easily in a variety of locations and provides consistent coverage over the entire frequency range.

MK Series HF horns feature a square flange allowing the user to rotate them 90°. As such, the loudspeaker can be mounted horizontally while maintaining the desired coverage pattern. A comprehensive system of 3/8-16 threaded mounting points is included.
