The EAW MKD1296-WP WHITE is a 1200W passive 2-way installation loudspeaker designed to deliver exceptional high-output performance, precise broadband pattern control, and superior fidelity across a wide range of professional audio applications. Engineered for both large-scale venues such as stadiums and more intimate spaces like music clubs, this speaker excels in environments where high sound quality and even coverage are essential. Featuring dual 12-inch low-frequency transducers, a 2-inch exit, 4-inch voice coil compression midrange driver, and a 2-inch exit, 2.5-inch voice coil compression high-frequency driver, the MKD1296-WP WHITE ensures a full-range sound that is dynamic, clear, and consistent. Its white finish ensures that it integrates discreetly into visually sensitive environments, making it a perfect solution for installations where both aesthetics and performance matter.

The MKD1296-WP WHITE is part of the MKD installation series, which builds on EAW's long tradition of high-performance loudspeakers developed in collaboration with consultants and sound system integrators worldwide. The speaker uses advanced technologies from the QX series, including a pair of spaced low-frequency transducers centered around a large-format, rotatable horn. These acoustically advanced transducers are able to be driven an octave lower than standard drivers due to EAW's beamwidth-matched crossover technology. This design ensures enhanced low-frequency response and more precise sound reproduction across the entire frequency range. The MKD1296-WP WHITE offers a nominal beamwidth of 90° horizontal by 60° vertical, providing even and controlled sound coverage for a wide range of installations. With a maximum SPL of 145 dB and a flat SPL of 139 dB, the MKD1296-WP WHITE is capable of delivering powerful, high-quality audio in both large and acoustically challenging environments. The speaker operates across a frequency range of 47Hz to 20kHz, ensuring that it provides full-range audio reproduction with exceptional clarity and detail.

Designed for installation flexibility, the MKD1296-WP WHITE features a durable Baltic birch enclosure that provides the strength required for both permanent and temporary installations. The speaker includes 12 M10 mounting points, allowing for secure rigging and easy integration into a variety of setups. The MKD1296-WP WHITE can be mounted horizontally or vertically using optional U-brackets or M10 kits, making it suitable for a wide range of installation configurations. The speaker is also IP56-rated for weather protection, ensuring its durability in both indoor and outdoor applications. The custom white finish and gently curved front design allow the MKD1296-WP WHITE to blend seamlessly into visually sensitive environments. Additionally, the speaker supports both passive and bi-amp operating modes, providing system integrators with flexibility to optimize performance according to specific installation needs.
