EAW MKC120 High-Output 12-Inch Coaxial Installation Loudspeaker

Powerful Performance for Professional Installations

The EAW MKC120 is a high-output two-way coaxial loudspeaker designed for professional installation environments that demand strong acoustic performance, controlled coverage, and flexible mounting options. As part of EAW’s MKC installation series, the EAW MKC120 provides significantly greater output and low-frequency extension compared to smaller models in the range, making it suitable for medium to large spaces.

Built around a 12-inch low-frequency driver combined with a coaxially mounted high-frequency compression driver, the EAW MKC120 delivers accurate phase alignment and consistent tonal balance across the listening area. The coaxial architecture ensures that both drivers behave as a single acoustic source, providing uniform sound coverage throughout the venue.

The EAW MKC120 is designed for applications such as houses of worship, hospitality venues, live performance spaces, corporate environments, and entertainment venues where high-quality music playback and clear speech reinforcement are required.

Concentric Summation Array Technology

At the core of the EAW MKC120 is EAW’s Concentric Summation Array (CSA) technology. This design positions the high-frequency compression driver directly within the acoustic centre of the low-frequency driver, allowing both drivers to operate as a coherent point source.

This architecture improves phase alignment and minimizes off-axis anomalies commonly found in traditional two-way loudspeaker designs. As a result, the EAW MKC120 delivers smooth and consistent sound across its entire coverage area, maintaining clarity and tonal accuracy for every listener.

The loudspeaker features a 90° × 60° rotatable coverage pattern, allowing system designers and installers to orient the dispersion pattern depending on the installation orientation. This flexibility makes the EAW MKC120 ideal for wall mounting, flown installations, or pole mounting where precise control of sound coverage is required.

High Output with Extended Low-Frequency Response

The EAW MKC120 is engineered to deliver powerful output while maintaining clarity and low distortion. Its vented 12-inch cone driver with a 2.5-inch voice coil provides strong low-frequency performance, while the 1-inch exit compression driver with a 44 mm voice coil ensures clear and detailed high-frequency reproduction.

With 600 watts of power handling at 8 ohms, the loudspeaker is capable of producing peak sound pressure levels of up to 135 dB, allowing it to perform comfortably in demanding environments where high sound levels are required without sacrificing fidelity.

The EAW MKC120 also supports advanced system optimization when paired with compatible amplifiers that provide EAW Focusing and DynO processing, helping improve phase response, increase clarity, and maximize system efficiency.

Flexible Mounting and Installation Versatility

Designed specifically for permanent installations, the enclosure of the EAW MKC120 includes multiple rigging and mounting options to simplify system design and deployment. The cabinet features 11 M10 suspension points and a four-point M6 mounting pattern, allowing secure attachment using wall brackets, suspension hardware, or ceiling mounts.

Integrated pole mounting and optional mounting accessories allow the loudspeaker to be used in both permanent installations and portable reinforcement setups. Weather-protected versions and transformer options are also available, making the EAW MKC120 suitable for covered outdoor installations and distributed audio systems.

These flexible mounting options allow the loudspeaker to be deployed in a wide variety of environments, including theatres, event venues, restaurants, houses of worship, conference spaces, and entertainment venues.
