KV2 Audio EPAK2500 - Manual (Page 5)

Introducing the EPAK2500
The EPAK2500 is a four-way, active control
and amplifiation system specifically designed
for the KV2 Audio ES Series™ modular loud-
speaker systems. It houses all signal processing
and amplification as well as providing control
for six different subwoofer cabinet configurati-
ons, powered by the internal subwoofer
amplifier, along with providing control signal
to an external VHD3200 subwoofer amplifier
to power further subwoofer cabinets if
needed.
Unlike most other speaker manufacturers,
KV2 Audio is equally expert in electronic
design - in fact, we’re fifty-year veterans at
building rugged, high-current power amps.
When you’re able to perfectly match an amp
with a transducer, you unlock incredible
performance that is impossible with passive
systems. The amplifier can perfectly handle
the impedance swings of the transducer. It
can deliver exactly the right amount and type
of power. Reliability goes up dramatically as
does sound quality.
Each amplifier in the EPAK2500 perfectly
compliments the transducers it’s coupled to.
They are therefore very different from each
other with respect to construction and purpo-
se.
Mid / High Amplifiers. Both the mid and high
frequency amplifiers inside the EPAK2500
are Class AB, Push-Pull amplifier circuits using
(MOSFET) Transistors output stage devices.
The entire performance strategy for this type
of design is based on producing the lowest
inter-modulation distortion possible and the
highest audio quality in the critical mid and
high operating bands. Both amplifiers are
coupled to the mid/high drivers through
transformer balanced speaker outputs.
Mid Bass and Low Frequency Amplifiers
For these frequency ranges, we’ve selected a
very high efficiency and refined low frequency
amplifier topology.
The unique part of the design is in the voltage
amplifier’s ideal method in supplying current
to the output stage. It’s based on a switcher
design that supplies current both in its on and
off position and superior bass reproduction
quality. The system is also 95% efficient
lowering typical amplifier losses and elimina-
ting the need for forced cooling systems.
The amplifier compliment inside the
EPAK2500 is as follows:
High Frequency - 100-watt, Class AB, push pull,
low intermodulation design
Mid Frequency - 200-watt, Class AB, push pull,
low intermodulation design
Mid Bass - 600-watt, high efficiency,
current-enhancing switch mode
with Linear Active Filter.
Subwoofer - 1600-watt, high efficiency,
current-enhancing switch mode
with Linear Active Filter.
Introduction
NOTE
NOTE:
For the best performance where
possible use only KV2 Audio
components, any other compo-
nent may negatively affect the
sound quality.
