EAW MKD896 White 2-Way Installation Loudspeaker (White)

High-performance 2-way speaker for installation environments
The EAW MKD896 WHITE is a compact, passive 2-way loudspeaker engineered for high-output installation use in visually sensitive spaces. Offering 800 watts of power handling and a focused 90° x 60° beamwidth, it delivers precision sound reinforcement across a wide frequency range. With dual 8-inch woofers and a 2-inch compression driver on a rotatable horn, it offers clarity and control ideal for stadiums, clubs, restaurants, and houses of worship. Its white finish and curved design make it ideal for installations where audio performance and aesthetics must work hand in hand.

Optimized for full-range fidelity and control
Built with EAW’s proven approach to sound system design, the MKD896 WHITE incorporates advanced technologies adapted from the QX Series. The spaced LF drivers improve low-end coupling and ensure that the horn can cover the critical midrange with high fidelity. With a maximum SPL of 135 dB (12 dB crest factor) and a flat SPL of 129 dB, this loudspeaker handles dynamic content cleanly. Its 62 Hz to 19 kHz operating range covers full-range playback with controlled dispersion that minimizes reflections and boosts clarity in reverberant spaces.

Precision pattern control for real-world venues
The large-format rotatable horn in the MKD896 WHITE delivers 90° horizontal and 60° vertical coverage, ensuring it meets the needs of wide or narrow room layouts. Beamwidth-matched crossovers ensure seamless transitions between the drivers, while the horn design maintains even response throughout the listening area. Whether you're outfitting a theater, performance space, or conference hall, this speaker maintains consistent tonal balance throughout its coverage zone, even in acoustically hostile environments.

Simple passive operation with flexible wiring
This loudspeaker operates in a passive configuration, making it easy to integrate into existing installations using external amplifiers. The input panel includes both barrier strip and NL4 connections, giving installers the flexibility they need for professional wiring solutions. With an axial sensitivity of 91 dB and calculated average output of 115 dB, the MKD896 WHITE performs efficiently without requiring excessive power from the system.

Durable and discreet enclosure for install applications
A rugged Baltic birch plywood enclosure ensures long-term reliability without adding unnecessary weight. Finished in wear-resistant white paint and featuring a curved front panel, the MKD896 WHITE blends visually into architectural spaces without drawing attention. It includes 12 M10 rigging points for use with standard mounting accessories and is compatible with both horizontal and vertical orientation using optional brackets.

Weather protection for indoor and outdoor use
Engineered for reliability, the MKD896 WHITE is available with weather protection for use in outdoor or humid environments. Whether installed in open-air pavilions, stadium concourses, or semi-exposed restaurant patios, this speaker maintains its performance while standing up to environmental challenges. It ships with a net weight of 42 pounds, with dimensions optimized for both performance and space-saving placement.
