EAW MK8126iMT 8in 2-Way Full Range Loudspeaker 120° x 60° 70V/100V (White)

The EAW MK8126iMT is a 300W 8-inch passive 2-way loudspeaker designed for use in 70V/100V distributed audio systems, offering exceptional performance and reliability in various commercial and industrial settings. This model is part of the MK8126i series, which is designed to solve common issues faced by compact two-way loudspeakers while delivering superior audio quality in a smaller, more compact form factor. The MK8126iMT stands out for its high-quality design, which offers impressive sound clarity, wide coverage, and a versatile installation footprint, making it perfect for applications like hotels, auditoriums, houses of worship, corporate AV, and themed entertainment venues.

The MK8126iMT features an 8-inch low-frequency (LF) transducer with a 2-inch voice coil in a vented configuration, ensuring deep, accurate bass reproduction while maintaining clarity in midrange frequencies. The high-frequency (HF) section incorporates a 1-inch exit, 1.4-inch voice coil compression driver mounted on a constant directivity (CD) horn. This larger-than-usual horn allows for extended pattern control down into the midrange, ensuring that the HF pattern overlaps with the woofer's pattern in the critical crossover region. This innovative design addresses common issues in traditional two-way loudspeakers, where off-axis voids in the crossover area can cause sound inconsistencies.

One of the key features of the MK8126iMT is its advanced beamwidth-matching crossover design. By carefully selecting the crossover point where the horn's 120° horizontal x 60° vertical coverage pattern seamlessly matches the woofer's pattern, the system eliminates the beamwidth mismatch that leads to off-axis voids typically found in other loudspeakers. The internal passive crossover/filter network not only divides the signal but also performs essential equalization functions, providing smoother power response across the entire frequency range.

With an operating range of 65Hz to 19kHz, the MK8126iMT delivers a full spectrum of sound, from deep bass to high-frequency detail. The speaker is capable of reaching a maximum SPL of 130 dB (12 dB crest factor) and 124 dB (6 dB crest factor), offering impressive output power suitable for a variety of environments. Its high sensitivity ensures clear, intelligible sound, even in larger spaces.

Another important feature of the MK8126iMT is its user-rotatable horn, allowing the speaker to be mounted either vertically or horizontally based on the installation requirements. This feature provides increased flexibility in various setups, ensuring optimal sound coverage wherever it is needed. The speaker includes a U-bracket for secure and reliable mounting, making it ideal for installations that require precise positioning and durability.

Designed for ease of integration into distributed audio systems, the MK8126iMT operates in passive mode and is built to handle the demands of both commercial and residential applications. The speaker's rugged construction, combined with a durable white textured finish, ensures that it can withstand the rigors of frequent use in public spaces. With dual NL4 connectors and a barrier strip, the MK8126iMT ensures a secure and straightforward connection during installation.
