EAW MK8126iPL-WP 2-Way Portable Loudspeaker (White)

Compact installation loudspeaker with wide coverage and high clarity
The EAW MK8126iPL-WP WHITE is a compact 300W passive 2-way loudspeaker designed for installation environments that demand durability, flexibility, and high-performance sound. Built for both indoor and outdoor applications, this IP56-rated enclosure withstands moisture and dust, making it ideal for venues such as houses of worship, hotel ballrooms, hospitality spaces, or educational institutions. Despite its modest footprint, this system delivers audio clarity and projection that outperforms many similarly sized two-way loudspeakers. With its white textured finish, it blends into architecturally sensitive installations without compromising output or coverage.

Superior pattern control through large-format HF horn
This speaker features an 8-inch low-frequency transducer paired with a 1-inch exit compression driver mounted to a constant directivity horn. The horn is noticeably larger than those found in traditional compact enclosures, allowing its 90° x 60° coverage pattern to extend lower into the frequency range. This broader pattern overlaps with the woofer’s dispersion at the crossover point, avoiding beamwidth mismatches that often result in off-axis dropouts. The result is more consistent off-axis coverage, ideal for distributed sound reinforcement where clarity throughout the space is critical.

Beamwidth-matched crossover ensures smooth sonic transition
The MK8126iPL-WP WHITE utilizes EAW’s beamwidth-optimized crossover design, which transitions between the low- and high-frequency subsystems precisely at the point where their patterns match. This eliminates gaps in coverage often experienced with conventional two-way systems, delivering even sound distribution across the coverage area. The internal passive crossover employs asymmetrical slopes to not only divide the frequency spectrum but also perform essential equalization for smooth, integrated system voicing—all without requiring external DSP or bi-amping.

High SPL capability with wide frequency response
Offering a frequency range of 65Hz to 19kHz and maximum SPL levels of 130 dB (12 dB crest factor) and 124 dB (6 dB crest factor), the MK8126iPL-WP WHITE is well-suited for high-demand applications. With an axial sensitivity of 91 dB, it efficiently converts amplifier power into output, minimizing the need for oversized amplification. The 8Ω nominal impedance makes it compatible with most commercial amplification systems, and the system is rated to handle 300W continuous power, tested via EAW’s rigorous accelerated life testing protocol.

Built to handle tough environments and installation demands
Housed in a durable, exterior-grade Baltic birch cabinet, the MK8126iPL-WP WHITE is built for lasting performance in demanding installations. The wear-resistant textured white finish ensures visual compatibility in spaces where aesthetics matter, while its compact footprint makes it easy to position where space is limited. The enclosure measures 19.75 x 11.75 x 11.03 inches and weighs only 30 lbs, making it highly manageable for both vertical and horizontal installations.

Flexible mounting and connection options for integrators
To support various installation needs, the speaker includes a U-bracket for mounting and features a rotatable horn to accommodate vertical or horizontal orientation. Input connectivity is offered via dual NL4 connectors and a barrier strip, providing flexible integration into existing systems. Whether you're configuring a distributed background music system or foreground reinforcement for a performance space, the MK8126iPL-WP WHITE offers the performance and flexibility to meet your installation needs.
