The EAW MK5396i WHITE is a high-performance, 800W passive 2-way portable loudspeaker designed for a wide range of professional audio applications. Part of the MK5300i Series, this speaker is an excellent choice for both smaller venues like houses of worship, auditoriums, and corporate A/V systems, as well as larger environments such as stadiums, arenas, nightclubs, and themed entertainment complexes. Offering superior sound coverage and exceptional durability, it excels in both distributed and fill applications across diverse venue types.

At the heart of the MK5396i WHITE is a 15-inch low-frequency (LF) driver paired with a 3-inch voice coil compression driver for the high-frequency (HF) range. This combination delivers a full-range audio experience with a broad operating range from 48 Hz to 19 kHz. With a nominal beamwidth of 90° x 60°, the speaker provides even, consistent coverage across the intended listening area, making it ideal for installations that require reliable sound reproduction over large spaces. The result is a dynamic and clear sound with detailed highs and powerful lows that ensure the MK5396i WHITE performs at the highest level in any environment.

Designed for high output, the MK5396i WHITE produces a maximum sound pressure level (SPL) of 139 dB, with a calculated axial output limit of 127 dB (average) and 133 dB (peak) for both LF/HF and LF sections. This capability allows it to handle even the most demanding audio situations. EAW's advanced beamwidth-matching crossover and filter design ensures smooth, consistent power response across the frequency range, providing even coverage and eliminating the discontinuities often found in lesser two-way loudspeakers.

With flexible configuration options, the MK5396i WHITE can be used in either single-amp or bi-amp modes, allowing for external signal processing and greater control over the system. It also features a high-pass filter and DSP with 2-way filters, ensuring optimal performance in both professional sound systems and live-event setups. The loudspeaker can be easily integrated into larger systems, as it is compatible with both MK5300i series systems and SBK Series subwoofers. Additionally, its enclosures share the same height as other units in the MK5300i and SBK Series, making it suitable for use in multi-speaker arrays with seamless integration.

Constructed from exterior-grade Baltic birch plywood, the MK5396i WHITE is built to last while delivering exceptional acoustic performance. It is finished with a wear-resistant textured white paint, making it ideal for environments where aesthetics are important, such as corporate settings, theaters, or houses of worship. The grille is made of powder-coated perforated steel, providing protection while maintaining excellent sound clarity. The MK5396i WHITE also boasts an IP56 rating, offering protection from dust and water, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations.

With its robust design, impressive sound performance, and versatility, the MK5396i WHITE is the perfect loudspeaker for a wide range of applications, from small venues to large-scale installations. Whether used as a main PA system or for distributed coverage, it ensures clear, high-fidelity sound at every performance level, meeting the needs of professionals across various industries.
