What we know about the measurement:

EAW MKC80 is a passive liveportable that cost around 1800 USD for a pair.

  • Quality of the measurement data is medium.
  • Origin of the data is EAW.
  • Format of the data is a GLL file .
  • Sensitivity: 117.1dB (avg. 100Hz-1kHz for 2.83V estimated at 1m) . Sensitivity computed at the measurement distance (10m) over the same frequency range: 97.1dB.
  • -3dB (resp. -6db) point v.s. reference is at 85.0Hz (resp. 73.0Hz).
  • Reference level is normalised to -0.3dB computed over the frequency range [300.0Hz, 5000.0Hz].
  • Frequency deviation is 3.4dB over the same frequency range.
  • Directivity
    • Horizontal directivity is (-40.0°, 40.0°) between 1kHz and 10kHz. Angle computed for +/-6dB.
    • Vertical directivity is (-40.0°, 40.0°) between 1kHz and 10kHz. Angle computed for +/-6dB.
  • Tonality (Preference) Score
    • Tonality (Preference) Score is 4.75 and would be 7.78 with a perfect subwoofer.
