EAW MK2396i White Passive 2-Way Full-Range Loudspeaker

High-Performance Passive Loudspeaker for Installed and Portable Sound Systems
The EAW MK2396i-WP WHITE is a 600W 12-inch passive 2-way loudspeaker engineered for professional environments that demand clarity, coverage, and reliability. Designed for use in both permanent and portable installations, this loudspeaker delivers consistent, high-fidelity sound across a wide operating range. With IP56-rated weather resistance and a clean white finish, the MK2396i-WP WHITE is ideal for venues including houses of worship, corporate event spaces, hotel ballrooms, nightclubs, stadiums, and theaters. Its compact form factor makes it easy to integrate into distributed systems or use as a standalone main PA element in smaller rooms.

Wide Coverage and Consistent Directivity with Horn-Loaded Design
The MK2396i-WP WHITE incorporates a 12-inch low-frequency driver with a 3-inch voice coil for extended low-end response, paired with a 1.4-inch exit, 3-inch voice coil compression driver for high frequencies. A 90° x 60° horn ensures smooth, wide-area coverage with well-controlled directivity, reducing phase and frequency inconsistencies across the listening field. The result is articulate midrange, clean treble, and impactful bass in a single, full-range package that maintains sonic coherence regardless of placement.

High Output and Optimized Crossover Performance for Professional Audio Needs
Operating from 65 Hz to 20 kHz, the MK2396i-WP WHITE achieves a peak SPL of 138 dB with axial output limits of 122 dB average and 128 dB peak. Its beamwidth-matching crossover and filter network ensures seamless integration between LF and HF drivers, eliminating common two-way loudspeaker issues such as midrange voids and uneven off-axis response. Whether used in bi-amp or single-amp mode, the loudspeaker offers precise tonal balance and power handling suitable for dynamic music playback or clear speech reinforcement.

Flexible Amplification and DSP Compatibility for System Integration
This model supports both single-amp and bi-amp operating modes, giving users flexibility in system design. External processing options include high-pass filtering at 60 Hz and DSP with 2-way filters to tailor the response to the venue. The efficient crossover network and external DSP capability ensure that the MK2396i-WP WHITE can adapt to a variety of acoustic environments, whether it’s part of a flown array or a ground-stacked rig.

Built to Last with Weather-Resistant Enclosure and Protective Grille
Constructed from durable exterior-grade Baltic birch plywood and coated with a wear-resistant textured white finish, the MK2396i-WP WHITE is engineered for tough environments. Its IP56 rating provides solid protection against water and dust ingress, making it suitable for outdoor use. A powder-coated perforated steel grille protects the internal components without sacrificing sound transparency, giving installers peace of mind in demanding applications.

Seamless Compatibility with EAW Arrays and Installation Systems
The MK2396i-WP WHITE shares its height and design characteristics with other models in the MK2300i and MK5300i Series, enabling coherent multi-speaker arrays. It integrates easily with EAW SBK Series subwoofers and preconfigured flybars, making it a strong choice for scalable installation projects. This design uniformity allows for a mix of coverage patterns without sacrificing voicing consistency across a venue.
