EAW MKC80 Wallmount Speaker

EAW MKC80 — Coaxial Point Source Loudspeaker for Install and Production

The EAW MKC80 is a compact 8" 2-way coaxial point source loudspeaker engineered for high-output sound in small and medium-sized venues. As part of EAW's MKC Series, it sits between the smaller MKC50/MKC60 and the larger MKC120, giving installers a flexible mid-format option. The MKC80 is the right choice for AV integrators, houses of worship, and live-event producers who need a single cabinet that handles both fixed install and portable production duties.

What Sets the MKC80 Apart

Unlike the MKC50 and MKC60, which use dome tweeters, the MKC80 employs a 1" exit, 35 mm voice coil compression driver mounted to EAW's patented Concentric Summation Array (CSA) waveguide. This coaxial horn lets the LF and HF bands combine coherently in the near field for smooth, even coverage across the listening area. Integrated M10 mounting points, a top handle, and a dual-angle pole cup make the cabinet equally at home on a U-bracket, ceiling pan-tilt, or speaker stand.

Who the MKC80 Is For

The MKC80 is built for sound system designers and integrators who need a flexible coaxial loudspeaker for permanent install and portable production. Houses of worship, corporate boardrooms, restaurants, and small clubs benefit from its 90° × 60° rotatable coverage and clean vocal reproduction. Touring musicians and rental houses will appreciate the integrated handle, dual-angle pole cup, and weather-protection options. Pairing the cabinet with EAW's UXA4403 amplifier unlocks the full potential of the built-in DSP, including EAW Focusing and DynO dynamic processing.
