The EAW MW12 is a compact, high-performance stage monitor designed through a collaboration between EAW and Dave “Rat” Levine of Rat Sound Systems. It features a coaxial configuration with a 12" low-frequency cone and a 3" voice coil compression driver, delivering a coherent 90° x 90° conical dispersion pattern. This design eliminates phase and crossover issues by aligning all frequencies from a single point source, resulting in improved clarity and consistency across the listening area. The enclosure includes a front-facing port that enhances low-frequency response and doubles as a housing for dual NL4 connectors and a carrying handle. Built from Baltic birch and finished with EAW’s rugged RoadCoat, the MW12 is engineered to withstand the rigors of touring and live production. It supports both single-amp and bi-amp operation and can be optimized using EAW’s UX series processors or amplifiers for enhanced performance in demanding audio environments.
