EAW Speaker Rankings and Reviews

Last updated: September 24, 2026

Coverage note. Speaker Ranking currently covers 5 EAW models across pa speakers. These are the products in our database, not a complete list of everything EAW makes.

What this page covers. The EAW models ranked here span pa speakers, including EAW MKC120, EAW MKD1200 and EAW MKC80. Use each model’s category position to compare it with alternatives of the same size and use case.

This page lists all 5 EAW speakers ranked on this site across pa speakers. Each model is shown in the category where it competes, with its current rank and the size of that ranking.

Use the category position rather than the brand name alone: speakers from the same manufacturer can perform very differently by size, price and product family.

Prices on this page were last checked September 23, 2026 at 11:24 PM UTC. Product prices and availability are accurate as of that date/time and are subject to change; the price and availability shown on Amazon at the time of purchase will apply to the purchase of this product.

Compact 5 to 6.5-Inch PA Speakers

Ranked #6 of 12 in Compact 5 to 6.5-Inch PA Speakers - EAW MKC60 eBay

EAW MKC60 ranking card

Pros: The 4.9kg coaxial cabinet has very wide 110° x 110° coverage and reaches 125dB. Vendor Spinorama data gives preference scores of 3.64 standalone and 6.90 with an ideal subwoofer, and listening-window narrow-band deviation is a low 0.29. Measured bass extension of 90Hz (-3dB).

Cons: Bass reaches only about 90Hz (-3dB), so it needs a subwoofer for music, and it is passive, so an external amplifier is required. Predicted in-room smoothness of 0.569 is average, and the price is high for a small cabinet.

Ranked #7 of 12 in Compact 5 to 6.5-Inch PA Speakers - EAW MKC50 eBay

EAW MKC50 ranking card

Pros: A 3.3kg coaxial cabinet with wide 110° x 110° coverage and a 121dB rating, small enough to hide in a wall or corner. Vendor Spinorama data gives preference scores of 3.37 standalone and 6.89 with an ideal subwoofer, with listening-window narrow-band deviation of 0.288. Measured bass extension of 103Hz (-3dB).

Cons: Bass reaches only about 103Hz (-3dB), so it needs a subwoofer for anything but speech, and predicted in-room smoothness of 0.469 is modest. It is passive, and the price is high for a 5-inch box.

8-Inch Two-Way Powered PA Speakers

Ranked #9 of 19 in 8-Inch Two-Way Powered PA Speakers - EAW MKC80 Full Compass eBay

EAW MKC80 ranking card

Pros: Vendor Spinorama data gives preference scores of 4.08 standalone and 7.10 with an ideal subwoofer. A 93dB sensitivity and 450W handling deliver a 132dB peak rating from a 10kg cabinet, and the rotatable 90° x 60° coaxial horn suits horizontal or vertical placement. Measured bass extension of 85Hz (-3dB).

Cons: Bass reaches only about 85Hz (-3dB), and listening-window narrow-band deviation is 0.321, so the tonal balance is less even than the best 8-inch models. It is passive, so an amplifier and processor with EAW presets are needed to play it.

12-Inch Two-Way Powered PA Speakers

Ranked #8 of 42 in 12-Inch Two-Way Powered PA Speakers - EAW MKC120: $1,555.00 SoundPro eBay

EAW MKC120 ranking card

Pros: Vendor Spinorama data gives preference scores of 5.04 standalone and 7.57 with an ideal subwoofer. Bass reaches about 62Hz (-3dB), deeper than most 12-inch boxes here, and the 135dB maximum SPL and 600W handling suit small and mid-size rooms. It weighs 16.4kg, with a rotatable 90° x 60° horn, built-in handle and pole mount. Measured bass extension of 62Hz (-3dB).

Cons: A passive cabinet, so it needs a separate amplifier and processor with EAW presets. Listening-window narrow-band deviation is 0.239 and predicted in-room smoothness is 0.729, less even than the best coaxials in this ranking. Street pricing is high for a box that cannot play without extra gear.

Ranked #16 of 42 in 12-Inch Two-Way Powered PA Speakers - EAW MKD1200 eBay

EAW MKD1200 ranking card

Pros: Vendor Spinorama data gives preference scores of 4.78 standalone and 7.20 with an ideal subwoofer. Dual 12-inch woofers reach about 58Hz (-3dB), with a 47Hz to 20kHz rated range and output up to 147dB depending on the horn pattern. On-axis narrow-band deviation is a low 0.156, and the three horn patterns (60° x 45°, 90° x 45° or 90° x 60°) fit venues of different shapes. Measured bass extension of 58Hz (-3dB).

Cons: A 47kg passive 3-way cabinet that needs an external amplifier and processor, so it is a fixed installation box rather than a portable 12-inch top. Sound-power narrow-band deviation is 0.546 and predicted in-room smoothness is 0.464, less even than the best 12-inch models. The Spinorama data is low quality, and pricing is quoted by dealers.
