KV2-Audio ES 1.8 front-loaded single eighteen-inch bass module

Beschrijving

The
ES 1.8 is a high-output, front-loaded single eighteen-inch bass module
designed as a part of an ES Series sound reinforcement speaker system.
It provides tight, up-front, low frequency reinforcement via a
front-loaded design with large-format porting that, provides improved
attack and definition. By optimizing the ideal operating band pass of
each system component; the ES 1.8 can achieve high output levels
consistently and safely.

• High-output, single 18-inch, Bass Module
• 129 dB of output (per unit) ? 134 dB (when using 2 units)
• Acoustic loading via large-format low-distortion reflex port
• Eighteen-inch
  Low Frequency driver with 4.00? (100mm) polymide, high temperature
  voice coil assembly and carbon fiber reinforced cone assembly
• Professional, exterior grade Baltic birch construction with highly resistant polymer coating
• Proprietary corner handle design for simplified handling and carrying
• Acetal
  copolymer high impact, low friction feet are asymmetrically located on
  two sides allowing vertical or horizontal system set up, lock-in and
  easy cabinet movement
• Six internal corner braces with twelve M10 suspension points.

Power
for the system is provided by the EPAK 2500 Amplifier/Processor
ensuring fast, easy set up and complete control. Together with the ES
1.0 and EPAK 2500, they deliver the highest dynamic range of any system
currently available providing new levels of clarity, depth and
resolution.

Italian-crafted LF transducer.
KV2 Audio?s transducer development and manufacturing partner, 18 Sound
in Cavriago, Italy, manufactures the woofer for the ES 1.8. The device
is the result of their state-of-the-art R&D facility and advanced
production capabilities. The transducer features a double silicone
spider, polymide voice coil assembly that undergoes multiple baking and
curing processes as well as an advanced magnetic structure with
advanced cooling system.

Easy to move around. Easy to set up and tear down.
The ES 1.8 is a very compact, lightweight enclosure featuring a number
of ergonomically designed parts that make it an easy speaker to set up
and use. KV2 designed and tooled a new very compact ?corner handle?
that fits snugly into any 90 degree corner. This provides critical
pick-up and handle -locations previously unavailable. There are eight
corner handles that make it easy to pick up and reposition the ES 1.8
in a natural, instinctive manner.

Even the ES 1.8?s ?feet? are a new design.
One longstanding problem with standard cabinets is their rubber feet,
which prevent you from moving or sliding the enclosure easily into a
desired position. They?re also easily damaged since they protrude from
the box. KV2 has addressed this issue by molding our own feet using
acetal copolymer material. This material has two very essential
properties that make it ideal for use in this application, high density
and a very low coefficient of friction. The enclosure has eight of
these feet placed on two sides of the cabinet. Their asymmetrical
placement allows easy setup, alignment and construction of a number of
different system configurations.

Fly it to the moon (with really long cables).

There are six industrial grade, internal braces placed at each corner.
Each brace is held in place by four M6 and two M10 bolts providing a
wide range of installation and suspension flexibility.
