1600 Watt Dual 15-inch Subwoofer with current-enhancing Switch Mode technology

The
EX 2.5 is a very high output active subwoofer system. Through the use
of proprietary amplifier technology, precision manufactured, high-tech
woofer designs and the innovative implementation of a high efficiency,
twin chamber acoustic design, the EX 2.5 delivers tight, fast,
controlled bass response at very high levels. It falls directly out of
KV2 Audio?s philosophy to develop products with increased dynamic
range, very high output and a consistent sound character no matter what
the output level. The system establishes new performance standards for
a compact subwoofer that can only be achieved through the integration
of new amplifier, transducer and electronic control technologies that
are closely tied to a passion for taking performance to the next level.

The EX2.5 can be used in
a variety of system applications. It can add high performance bass
reproduction to active speaker systems, or it can be easily used with
passive speaker systems. The built in electronic high pass filter,
phase and independent output level controls provide high precision,
easy to use system integration circuitry. On-board controls can also be
defeated allowing the EX 2.5 to be driven by third party speaker
management systems.

Electronics
Amplifier power, electronic crossovers, equalization and speaker
protection are integrated into the EX 2.5?s amplifier module. On-board
electronics ensures fast, easy set up, complete control making it easy
to set up and long term reliability. An improved version of KV2 Audio?s
switch mode, current enhancing low frequency amplifier has been
specially developed for the EX 2.5. The new design improves overall
system efficiency to over 90% and delivers 1600 watts of continuous
power.

KV2
Audio has developed an amplifier topology that delivers two unique
characteristics that are critically important for high performance,
active subwoofer systems. The EX 2.5 amplifier topology delivers very
high efficiency and generates minimal thermal losses allowing the
amplifier to deliver extremely high power levels reliably and
simplifying the cooling system. Secondly, in order to reproduce low
frequency information with high transient levels and extend the
operational boundaries of the acoustic design, the amplifier needs to
deliver an extraordinary amount of current in order to maintain the
woofer under control. This is especially true under standard ?phase
shift? conditions in which the amount of total voltage the amplifier
can deliver is limited and the current requirement is sometimes
doubled. Through the implementation of a unique, switch mode amplifier
technology, the EX 2.5 amplifier delivers on both objectives, providing
extremely high efficiency, low losses and delivering the highest woofer
control by delivering higher current levels under ?phase shift?
conditions.

The electronics are
fitted onto to a large format aluminum alloy heat sink providing high
flow, passive cooling and eliminating standard maintenance cycles
associated with forced cooled amplifier designs. The entire mechanical
assembly is fitted on a mechanical suspension system that isolates low
frequency energy and ensures long-term reliability. The large format
flat aluminum heat sink does not require the use of fins and can be
placed in any vertical or horizontal position.

Acoustic Components
The EX 2.2?s woofer technology is based around high efficiency woofer
designs. The devices feature, high temperature polymide voice coil
assemblies that undergo multiple baking and curing processes as well as
advanced magnetic structures with complex cooling systems. The woofer
cones have been specially developed to withstand the demanding
environment created by the high loading inside the EX 2.2.

The
EX 2.2 was designed using new concepts in twin asymmetrical acoustic
chambers that deliver very high speaker loading and output from a
relatively small cabinet footprint. It is ideal for use in live
applications that require reproduction of low frequencies with very
high transient content at high output levels.

Enclosure Design
The EX 2.5 is a lightweight enclosure featuring a number of
ergonomically designed parts that make it an easy system 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 2.5 in a
natural, instinctive manner. Routed ?foot? cutouts allow easy stacking.

There
are eight industrial grade, internal braces placed at the top of the
cabinet. Each brace is held in place by four M8 bolts and feature
sixteen M10 hang points providing a wide range of installation and
suspension flexibility. There is also a pole mount ?top hat? located at
the top of the cabinet.
