We keep all horns shallow with mild compression ratios. For midrange we avoid anything above a 4:1 ratio because it overloads the cone and inherently requires longer horn throats that generate higher distortion.

In getting as close as possible to the ultimate goal of a point source solution a maximum of two KV2 mid high speakers would normally be used, mid range drivers coupled together plus down or side fill where appropriate. This achieves maximum coverage, throw and level but without the large high frequency cancellations and interference experienced by modern line arrays.

Focusing on the technologies of heat dissipation, loading and the correct mounting of components we deal with the key part that Power Compression plays in a system’s overall performance, an area often overlooked by other manufacturers. At this point their bold claims of extremely high outputs become tarnished as measurements 30 minutes into a show often reveal reductions of up to 6dB in overall output. KV2 Audio systems are designed to deliver consistent power, with a high dynamic content, all night long.
