The MK5300 Series of 2-way, high output, trapezoidal loudspeakers are designed as main PA for smaller venues, including houses of worship, auditoriums/theaters,A/V systems, hotel ballrooms, and meeting rooms. The Series is also ideal for distributed or fill purposes in larger venues, including houses of worship, auditorium/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, compression driver mating it to a selection of six different HF horns with patterns 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.A4- inch voice coil, 15 inch LF driver, was designed to complement the sonic character and output of the HF driver. All MK5300 models are carefully voiced to sound similar, permitting diverse horn patterns to be mixed throughout an installation while maintaining the same sonic quality. The results are cleaner, usable, high-fidelity output to significantly higher levels than is normally expected from loudspeakers of this size and price.

Single-amp and bi-amp operating modes are user-selectable. In single- amp mode, the beamwidth-matching passive crossover is designed for even power response through crossover, low power losses, and high power handling. In bi-amp mode a digital signal processor (DSP) is required, providing sophisticated processing to maximize performance.

Foam-backed grilles hide the drivers from view for pleasing aesthetics. Thirteen mounting points allow enclosures to be mounted in virtually any configuration. Additional mounting points mate with OmniMount® 120.0 Series or similar brackets. Standard colors are black and white. Other colors can be specified as a special order items.

The MK5300 are the larger companions to the MK2300 Series loudspeakers. Enclosures for both series are the same height facilitating installation where more than one horn pattern and/or type of loudspeaker capability is needed. Six Year Warranty.

MK5326 specifications

The EAW MK5326 is a remarkable loudspeaker system that has made a significant impact in the audio equipment industry, particularly in live sound and professional audio applications. This speaker is designed to deliver impressive sound quality, making it an excellent choice for concert events, festivals, and permanent installations.

One of the standout features of the EAW MK5326 is its four-way design, which includes two 15-inch woofers, a high-efficiency mid-range section, and dual high-frequency compression drivers. This configuration enables the speaker to reproduce a wide frequency range with remarkable clarity and precision, ensuring that every note and nuance of the audio is captured and projected effectively.

The MK5326 utilizes advanced technology to enhance its performance. Built with EAW's patented "SMAART" system, this speaker integrates intelligent processing capabilities that ensure optimal tuning and alignment. This technology not only enhances sound quality but also allows for easier setup and deployment in various acoustic environments. The result is a system that minimizes phase issues and maximizes coherence across the frequency spectrum.

The cabinet construction of the EAW MK5326 is another notable aspect. Built from high-quality birch plywood and finished with a durable paint, it offers exceptional sturdiness and durability. The cabinet is also designed to minimize unwanted resonance, allowing for cleaner sound reproduction. Moreover, the rugged construction ensures that it can withstand the rigors of touring and demanding gig environments.

In terms of connectivity, the EAW MK5326 offers versatile options, including multiple input configurations that make it compatible with a wide range of audio sources and systems. It also features a built-in passive crossover network, which simplifies setup and reduces the need for additional external processing.

Another characteristic that sets the MK5326 apart is its impressive power handling capabilities. With a continuous power handling of 1200 watts and a peak of 4800 watts, this loudspeaker system can handle high sound pressure levels while maintaining sound integrity and clarity.

The EAW MK5326 is engineered for optimal performance in high-demand audio environments. Its combination of advanced technologies, robust design, and exceptional sound quality make it a top choice among audio professionals seeking a reliable and powerful loudspeaker solution for their events. Whether used in a temporary setup or a permanent installation, the MK5326 consistently delivers an extraordinary listening experience.
