Discover the EAW MK8196iPL-WP White Loudspeaker
Introducing the EAW MK8196iPL-WP White, a cutting-edge passive loudspeaker designed for installations demanding both aesthetic discretion and superior sound quality. This model stands out in the EAW lineup for its robust engineering, aimed at providing clear, powerful sound in a compact package. Its white finish ensures that it blends seamlessly into any venue, making it ideal for spaces that require visual subtlety without compromising on sound performance.

Engineered for Superior Acoustic Performance
The core of the MK8196iPL-WP's excellence lies in its advanced HF horn design. Equipped with a 1-inch exit and 1.5-inch voice coil compression driver, the horn extends pattern control deeper into the midrange than typical compact two-way systems. This design enhances audio clarity and ensures the horn’s coverage overlaps perfectly with the woofer’s output in the critical crossover region, providing a smooth and unified sound field.

Precision Crossover for Seamless Integration
This loudspeaker features an advanced beamwidth matching crossover technology that perfectly aligns the HF horn’s 120° horizontal and 60° vertical coverage with the woofer’s dispersion. This meticulous design choice effectively eliminates the common beamwidth mismatches found in traditional two-way systems, thus avoiding off-axis voids in sound coverage that can detract from the listening experience.

Innovative Internal Design for Optimal Sound
The internal architecture of the MK8196iPL-WP includes a complex passive crossover/filter network that does more than just split the signal. It employs asymmetrical slopes to integrate the woofer and compression driver, enhancing the overall power response and ensuring each frequency is delivered with precise equalization, resulting in exceptional sound clarity and fidelity.

Flexible Installation Options
Flexibility is at the forefront of the MK8196iPL-WP design. The loudspeaker features a user-rotatable horn that allows the enclosure to be mounted either vertically or horizontally, accommodating various installation environments. This versatility is crucial for integrators looking to tailor audio solutions to specific spaces without aesthetic intrusion.
