Coverage note. Speaker Ranking currently covers 8 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 MKC60 and EAW MKD1200. Use each model’s category position to compare it with alternatives of the same size and use case.
This page lists all 8 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 October 14, 2026 at 2:38 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 39 in Compact 5 to 6.5-Inch PA Speakers - EAW MKC60: $627.00 each Passive Full Compass $627.00 eBay
Same family: the EAW MKC50 (smaller model, ranked lower, rated 3.6/5), the EAW MKC80 (larger model, rated 3.9/5) and the EAW MKC120 (larger model, rated 4.3/5).
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 #9 of 39 in Compact 5 to 6.5-Inch PA Speakers - EAW MKC50: $375.00 each Passive Full Compass $375.00 eBay
Same family: the EAW MKC60 (larger model, ranked higher, rated 3.8/5), the EAW MKC80 (larger model, rated 3.9/5) and the EAW MKC120 (larger model, rated 4.3/5).
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.

Ranked #25 of 39 in Compact 5 to 6.5-Inch PA Speakers - EAW MKD526: $1,050.00 Passive Full Compass $1,050.00 eBay
Same family: the EAW MKD1000 (larger model, rated 2.9/5) and the EAW MKD1200 (larger model, rated 4/5).
Pros: The ultra-compact model of EAW’s MKD installation range alongside the measured EAW MKD1000 and EAW MKD1200, with two 5.25” woofers around a compression driver on a rotatable 120° x 60° horn. EAW rates it at 250W, 127dB maximum and 75Hz to 20kHz in a 7.6 kg cabinet, sized for fills and small rooms.
Cons: No independent measurements yet, so it can’t be compared with ranked PA speakers. Bass stops around 75Hz, so it needs a subwoofer for music, and it is sold through installation dealers.

8-Inch PA Speakers
Ranked #10 of 47 in 8-Inch PA Speakers - EAW MKC80: $980.00 Passive Full Compass $980.00 eBay
Same family: the EAW MKC50 (smaller model, rated 3.6/5), the EAW MKC60 (smaller model, rated 3.8/5) and the EAW MKC120 (larger model, rated 4.3/5).
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.

10-Inch PA Speakers
Ranked #15 of 41 in 10-Inch PA Speakers - EAW QX326 Passive eBay
Pros: Vendor measurements of the 120 by 60 degree version score 3.12 on its own and 6.15 with an ideal subwoofer, and four 10-inch woofers with a 1.4-inch compression driver reach a specified 141dB peak. The same cabinet comes in five other horn patterns. Measured bass extension of 82.5Hz (-3dB).
Cons: Bass rolls off at 82.5Hz (-3dB) and about 65Hz (-10dB), the predicted in-room response is rough (0.46 smoothness), and the on-axis response is uneven (0.93dB average deviation). It needs a 2 ohm capable amplifier channel and is sold through pro dealers.

Ranked #39 of 41 in 10-Inch PA Speakers - EAW MKD1000: $3,180 Passive eBay
Same family: the EAW MKD526 (smaller model, estimated 3.3/5) and the EAW MKD1200 (larger model, rated 4/5).
Pros: Very consistent off-axis tone (2.84dB directivity-index deviation, the best in this group) and a smooth on-axis response (0.61dB average deviation), with a 136dB maximum from two 10-inch woofers. Measured bass extension of 100Hz (-3dB).
Cons: Bass rolls off at 100Hz (-3dB), so it scores -0.09 standalone and 3.27 with an ideal subwoofer and needs a subwoofer for music. It is passive and weighs 27.2kg.

12-Inch PA Speakers
Ranked #8 of 83 in 12-Inch PA Speakers - EAW MKC120: $1,555.00 Passive SoundPro $1,555.00 eBay
Same family: the EAW MKC50 (smaller model, rated 3.6/5), the EAW MKC60 (smaller model, rated 3.8/5) and the EAW MKC80 (smaller model, rated 3.9/5).
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 83 in 12-Inch PA Speakers - EAW MKD1200: $4,703 Passive eBay
Same family: the EAW MKD526 (smaller model, estimated 3.3/5) and the EAW MKD1000 (smaller model, rated 2.9/5).
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.
