EAW MKD1294 Installation Loudspeaker (White)

High-output installation loudspeaker for demanding audio environments
The EAW MKD1294 WHITE is a 1200W passive 2-way loudspeaker designed for permanent installations where consistent coverage, high output, and audio precision are required. Engineered to meet the needs of large-scale performance spaces like arenas and concert halls as well as more intimate club venues, the MKD1294 WHITE combines power and fidelity in a compact, installation-ready format. With its QX-inspired high-frequency driver and carefully matched beamwidth, this model delivers intelligibility and punch in equal measure.

Engineered for consistent broadband pattern control
With a nominal coverage of 90° horizontal by 45° vertical, the MKD1294 WHITE is built to control audio distribution across both wide and deep spaces. This pattern control is key for keeping audio off reflective surfaces and focused on the audience, ensuring even SPL and tonal consistency throughout a venue. The speaker’s design includes a large-format, rotatable horn and QX-series inspired transducer layout, allowing for smooth, natural transitions between frequency bands and minimizing phase issues commonly found in standard 2-way enclosures.

QX-series design influences and driver configuration
Borrowing heavily from the acclaimed QX series, the MKD1294 WHITE features a 4-inch voice coil compression driver mated to a 2-inch exit and paired with dual 12-inch low-frequency drivers. This layout enables extended bandwidth and deeper low-end performance than typical 2-way cabinets. EAW’s beamwidth-matched crossover ensures coherent summation across the full frequency range. With an operating range of 50Hz to 20kHz and a maximum SPL of 145 dB, the MKD1294 WHITE is capable of delivering clean, full-range sound at concert-level output.

Supports both passive and bi-amplified operation
System designers have flexibility with the MKD1294 WHITE thanks to its support for both passive and bi-amp modes. In passive mode, installation is straightforward and efficient, requiring only one amplifier channel per speaker. For more advanced system tuning and headroom, the bi-amp option allows separate processing of the low and high-frequency sections. A terminal block input provides a secure connection, and the speaker’s 93 dB axial sensitivity ensures strong performance even in less power-intensive installations.

Weather-protected cabinet with versatile mounting options
Built from durable Baltic birch plywood and finished in a textured white paint, the MKD1294 WHITE blends into architecturally sensitive environments while withstanding the rigors of permanent installation. The IP56 rating ensures resistance to dust and water, making it suitable for outdoor or partially covered environments. The enclosure includes 12 M10 threaded mounting points compatible with U-brackets, eyebolts, and a range of EAW rigging accessories, allowing for horizontal or vertical orientation in complex system layouts.

Ideal for performance venues, clubs, and houses of worship
Whether used as a main speaker in a medium-sized performance venue or as part of a distributed system in a church or multipurpose hall, the MKD1294 WHITE offers professional-grade clarity, output, and pattern control. It’s particularly effective in reverberant spaces where intelligibility and directionality are critical. And with a clean white finish and curved grille design, it remains visually unobtrusive in applications where appearance is just as important as sound.
