KV2 Refurb Project 2021 Part 1

Welcome to our blog documenting the KV2 project: showing the developments of how we bring a KV2 Audio system back to life through different stages. Following the sad closure of a venue last year, we acquired a KV2 ES system which has some historical serial numbers. It consists of, 4 x ES1.8 1 x 18” subs, 2 x ES 2.5 2×15” subs, 4 x ES 1.0 mid high elements and 4 x EPAK amplifier modules, plus 4 x EX12 powered monitors. The ES system is a current product from KV2, but has been around since their early day, launched in 2003 and although the current version has had some upgrades to the amplifiers and some drivers have been upgraded, it is fundamentally the same. It is an excellent system for a wide variety of jobs, ranging from theatres to live music venues, to dance music clubs. Our system is one of the first ever produced, indeed one box’s serial number is actually 000001; the very first ever production unit. When the system was removed from the venue, it still sounded fantastic. We felt that, as this system really has stood the test of time in a very harsh environment, suffering little more than dirt and chewing gum on the outside, a couple of cracked grills and some slightly soft cones, we should strip it down, give it a refresh and bring it back to as close to new condition as possible. There will be some driver re-cones or replacements, painting of all of the cabinets and grills and replacing some of the very rusty handles. Some of the cracked grills will be tig welded back together. We will post snippets about the project next week.
