- KV2 Audio’s transducer partner, 18 Sound in Cavriago, Italy, manufactures the low frequency transducer inside the ES 1.5. Frequencies between 40 Hz and 150 Hz are reproduced by a new fifteen-inch woofer that provides 99 dB of sensitivity (1watt / 1 meter). Loading of the woofer is done through two, asymmetrical chambers with horn-profiled exits. The high efficiency neodymium motor provides an extraordinary amount of force that delivers complete control of the cone mass and a high overall weight loss. Neodymium is not a transducer panacea, as it cannot safely operate at the same typical operating temperatures of ferrite. Using neodymium requires a very profound understanding of material science and finite element analysis. Our years of acoustic design experience enable us to properly design a stable, high force magnetic structure using neodymium
- Easy-to-handle enclosure.
- The ES 1.5 is a very lightweight yet resonance-free enclosure featuring a number of ergonomically designed parts that make it compact and easy to set up and use. KV2 designed and tooled two new cabinet handles for use in their products. First is a very compact “corner handle” that fits snugly into any 90 degree corner. This provides critical pick-up and handle locations previously unavailable. The two corner handles make it easy to pick up and reposition the ES 1.5 in a natural, instinctive manner. Additionally, there are two compact handles placed top and bottom allowing flexibility in how the cabinet is picked up and moved.
- Perfection is in the details.
- 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 twelve of these feet placed on three sides of the cabinet. Their asymmetrical placement allows easy setup, alignment and construction of a number of different system configurations.
- Easy to fly.
- There are four 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.
