DESCRIPTION

• Premium Performance
• Application Flexibility

The MK2300i Series of 2-way, high output, trapezoidal loudspeaker systems
are designed as main PA elements for smaller venues, including small houses
of worship and auditoriums/theaters, corporate A/V systems, hotel ballrooms
and meeting rooms. The Series is also excellent for distributed or fill purposes
in larger venues, including large houses of worship and auditoriums/theaters,
arenas, stadiums, nightclubs, and themed-entertainment complexes.
To meet the design goals for the intended applications, EAW engineers
developed a new, high performance, 3-inch voice coil, 1.4-in exit compression
driver, loading it with a selection of six different HF horns with coverage
patterns ranging from 60° x 45° to 120° x 60°. The horns are as large as the
enclosure size allows to maintain consistent directivity throughout the HF
passband. A 3-inch voice coil, 12-inch LF driver was used to complement the
sonic character and output of the HF driver. All MK2300i models are carefully
voiced to sound similar, permitting diverse horn patterns to be mixed
throughout an installation while maintaining the same sonic quality. The
result is clean, high-fidelity output at significantly higher levels than would
be expected from loudspeakers of this size and price.
Users can select between single-amp and bi-amp (external processor)
operating modes. In either operating mode, EAW’s beamwidth-matching
crossover/filter design delivers even power response throughout the
crossover region, eliminating the discontinuities that plague other two-way
loudspeakers.
The MK2300i Series systems are the smaller companions to the MK5300i
Series systems. Enclosures for both series are the same height, facilitating
installation where more than one horn pattern and/or type of loudspeaker
capability is needed. In addition, SBK Series subwoofers also share this height,
creating attractive arrays that use EAW’s preconfigured accessory flybar. Six
Year Warranty.
