Why We Like This

The MKD1544-WP is useful as a passive full-range system component because EAW publishes the coverage, output, power, and mounting data needed to design it into a real system. Its acoustic configuration is LF Transducer, Loading 2 x 15in Cone, 4in Voice Coil MF Transducer, Loading 1 x 2in Exit, 4in Voice Coil, Compression Midrange, Horn Loaded HF Transducer, Loading 1 x 2in Exit, 2.5in Voice Coil, Compression driver, Horn Loaded; nominal coverage is 45° Horizontal x 45° Vertical; maximum SPL is 147dB; operating range is 40Hz - 18kHz. For integration, power handling is LF – 1600W @ 4Ω MF/HF – 250W @ 8Ω, input impedance is LF=4Ω MF/HF=8Ω, and supported EAW technologies include EAW Focusing, Beamwidth Matched Crossovers, Phase Aligned LF, and Symmetry of Sources. Those details let the installer choose amplification, DSP, placement, and aiming from documented system parameters rather than generic marketing claims. This SKU is the weather-protected WP variant.
