EAW MK5396i-WP 2-Way IP56-Rated Portable Loudspeaker

Engineered for High-Output Sound Reinforcement in Any Venue
The EAW MK5396i-WP WHITE is a 800W passive 2-way full-range loudspeaker built for permanent installations demanding consistent, high-fidelity sound. Designed for a wide range of applications—from corporate auditoriums and worship spaces to outdoor stadiums and nightclubs—this speaker delivers robust performance with exceptional clarity. As part of the MK5300i series, it combines powerful transducers with precise beamwidth control, all housed in a durable, weather-protected enclosure finished in white to blend into architecturally sensitive environments.

Full-Range Transducer Design for Powerful, Balanced Sound
At the core of the MK5396i-WP WHITE is a 15-inch low-frequency driver matched with a 3-inch voice coil compression driver mounted on a 90° x 60° horn. This configuration supports a wide operating frequency range from 48 Hz to 19 kHz, delivering deep bass and articulate highs across large listening areas. Whether it's live speech, recorded music, or full-range program material, this speaker provides rich, detailed sound without the need for additional processing.

Consistent Coverage with Beamwidth-Matched Crossover
EAW's beamwidth-matching crossover technology ensures the MK5396i-WP WHITE maintains even coverage across its stated pattern by aligning the crossover point with the natural dispersion of the LF and HF drivers. This approach eliminates phase-related anomalies and power response irregularities common in traditional two-way systems, resulting in cleaner, more intelligible output throughout the venue—especially in the critical off-axis zones.

High SPL Output with Versatile Operating Modes
The MK5396i-WP WHITE offers a peak SPL of 139 dB, backed by calculated axial output ratings of 127 dB average and 133 dB peak. The speaker supports both single-amp and bi-amp configurations, giving system designers flexibility based on available amplification and processing. External signal processing, including high-pass filtering and DSP with 2-way crossover support, can be applied to tailor the performance for specific environments or paired systems such as EAW SBK Series subwoofers.

Rugged Construction with All-Weather Protection
Designed for reliable performance indoors or outdoors, the MK5396i-WP WHITE features an exterior-grade Baltic birch enclosure with a wear-resistant textured white finish. The powder-coated steel grille protects the drivers without compromising acoustic transparency. With an IP56 rating, the cabinet is sealed against dust and water intrusion, making it ideal for permanent installations in harsh conditions including open-air venues, theme parks, and stadiums.

Integrated Design for Seamless System Integration
All MK5300i Series loudspeakers share common enclosure dimensions, simplifying installation and mix-and-match system design. Whether building a system with varied beamwidths or augmenting with subwoofers, the MK5396i-WP WHITE easily integrates into any setup. It is equally capable as a main speaker or as part of a distributed array, offering consistent voicing across the series.
