EAW MK8126i 2-Way High Output Single Amp Speaker, Black

The MK8126 is a 2-way, high output, trapezoidal loudspeaker designed as nearfield PA for smaller venues, including houses of worship, auditoriums/theaters, A/V systems, hotel ballrooms, and meeting rooms. Its speech projection capabilities also make it ideal for distributed or fill purposes in larger venues, including houses of worship, auditorium/theaters, arenas, stadiums, nightclubs, and themed-entertainment complexes.

To meet the design goals for the intended applications, EAW engineers mated a 1.5-inch voice coil compression driver to a 1 inch exit 120° x 60° HF horn. The horn is as large as the enclosure size allows to maintain consistent directivity throughout the HF passband. A 2-inch voice coil, 8 inch LF driver was designed to complement the sonic character and output of the HF driver. All MK8100 models are carefully voiced to sound similar, permitting diverse horn patterns to be mixed throughout an installation while maintaining the same sonic quality. The results are cleaner, usable, high-fidelity output to significantly higher levels than is normally expected from loudspeakers of this size and price.

Designed for single-amp operation, the beamwidth-matching passive crossover is provides for even power response through crossover, low power losses, and high power handling. Thirteen mounting points allow the enclosure to be mounted in virtually any configuration. Additional mounting points mate with OmniMount® 60.0 Series or similar brackets. Standard colors are black and white. Other colors can be specified as a special order items.

The MK8100 are the smallest companions to the MK2300 and MK5300 Series loudspeakers. While they are well suited as is for many applications, the addition of a subwoofer can expand their capabilities for more demanding applications.
