The EAW MK2399i-WP is a high-performance 600W 12-inch passive 2-way portable loudspeaker designed for both smaller and larger venues. With its IP56-rated construction, this loudspeaker is built to perform reliably in a variety of demanding environments, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, such as small houses of worship, auditoriums, corporate A/V systems, hotel ballrooms, meeting rooms, as well as larger venues like arenas, stadiums, nightclubs, and themed-entertainment complexes. Whether used as a primary PA speaker or for distributed fill, the MK2399i-WP delivers powerful, consistent sound across its wide operating range.

At the heart of the MK2399i-WP is a 12-inch low-frequency (LF) driver with a 3-inch voice coil, delivering deep bass and accurate low-end response. The system's high-frequency (HF) component is powered by a 1.4-inch exit, 3-inch voice coil compression driver, which is horn-loaded to ensure efficient directivity and clarity. This configuration provides a nominal beamwidth of 90° x 90°, ensuring even coverage across the entire listening area. The speaker's wide coverage is ideal for both small and large venues, and the system is designed to maintain consistent sound quality even at high output levels.

The MK2399i-WP's operating range spans from 65 Hz to 18 kHz, allowing it to reproduce a full range of sound with high-fidelity output. With an axial sensitivity of 94 dB (whole space SPL), this loudspeaker can deliver a peak SPL of 137 dB, making it suitable for high-performance applications where high-volume levels are needed. Its beamwidth-matching crossover and filter design ensures even power response throughout the crossover region, eliminating the common issues that affect many other two-way loudspeakers.

This versatile loudspeaker operates in both single-amp and bi-amp modes, with an external signal processing system that includes a high-pass filter and DSP with 2-way filters. The bi-amp mode enables users to separately power the LF and HF drivers, optimizing their performance for specific applications. The high-pass filter is set to 60 Hz with a 12 dB/octave Butterworth slope, ensuring that low-end frequencies are properly managed and preventing distortion at higher volumes.

Designed with durability and ease of use in mind, the MK2399i-WP features an exterior-grade Baltic birch plywood enclosure, which is lightweight yet sturdy, and coated with a wear-resistant textured paint finish. The powder-coated perforated steel grille provides additional protection to the speaker components without compromising sound quality. This durable design ensures that the MK2399i-WP maintains its appearance and performance in demanding environments.

For installation flexibility, the MK2399i-WP shares its height with other EAW MK Series loudspeakers and SBK Series subwoofers, allowing for seamless integration into arrays. The loudspeaker is also compatible with EAW's preconfigured accessory flybars, making it easy to set up in a variety of configurations to suit any installation needs. The six-year warranty provides long-term peace of mind for users in various applications.
