EX6. The new configuration improves overall system efficiency and increases output, allowing passive radiation of heat to take place through a unique "fin-less" heat sink that can be placed in any position or direction. Additionally, the EX6 amplifier unit contains an internally located electric fan that is operated by a temperature sensing circuit which will... - Page 5 Enclosure Design The EX6 is a very compact, asymmetrical geometry enclosure design allowing it to be used in a variety of applications. A specially moulded aluminium handle was designed and fitted to the top of the cabinet. It functions as the principle pick up handle as well as providing several fixed installation and hanging solutions.

This very defined phase accuracy comes into play when trying to stack the speakers. It is very important not to use KV2 Audio Mid-High boxes directly side by side. (Fig. A) This will produce a poor quality sound cancelling out perfectly, which reduces overall output. Defined by the way our ears work, their position on our heads and the brain's understanding of the signals they produce, each ear will hear two sources in the horizontal plane very close together, but very slightly misaligned in arrival time. - Page 13 EX6 · Drawings Drawings...

The EX26 is a 2-way high output, active, compact, Vocal speaker system. Design objectives for the EX26 were focused on the expansion of KV2 Audio's primary philosophy of speakers systems with increased dynamic range, very high output and a consistent sound character no matter what the output level. The EX26 sets new levels of performance for compact cabinets 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. - Page 15 EX26 · Overview Acoustic Components The EX26's patent pending NVPD neodymium compression driver is loaded on a constant directivity horn designed for smooth, wide dispersion performance. More importantly, it has also been designed to precisely match the power response of the woofers at the crossover frequency, a crucial design objective that ensures smooth transition and minimizes anomalies.

EX26 · AC Power Requirements AC Power Requirements The EX26 is an advanced self-powered loudspeaker with on-board amplification and control systems. Understanding power distribution, voltage and current requirements, as well as electrical safety issues, is critical to the safe operation of the EX26. - Page 17 EX26 · AC Power Requirements Current Requirements Each EX26 requires approximately 4 Amps max at 115V AC for proper operation. This allows up to three EX26's to be powered fromn one 15 A breaker at 115V and up to seven EX26's at 230V. The EX26 presents a dynamic load to the AC mains, which causes the amount of current to fluctuate depending on quiet or loud operating levels.
