EX6 User Guide The future of sound. Made perfectly clear. At KV2 Audio our vision is to constantly develop technologies that eliminate distortion and loss of information providing a true dynamic representation of the source. Our aim is to create audio products that absorb you, place you within the performance and deliver a listening experience beyond expectation.
Contents Warranty Your EX6 is covered against defects in material and workmanship. Refer to your supplier for more details. Service In the unlikely event that your EX6 develops a problem, it must be returned to an authorised distributor, service centre or shipped directly to our factory. Because of the complexity of the design and the risk of electrical shock, all repairs must be attempted only by qualified technical personnel.
How to use this manual As you read this manual, you’ll find figures and diagrams to help you understand and visualise what you’re reading. You’ll also find numerous icons that serve as cues to flag important information or warn you against improper or potentially harmful activities. Icons used include NOTE TIP “NOTE” identifies an important or useful piece of information relating to the topic under discussion. “TIP” offers a helpful tip relevant to the topic at hand. 10.
Introducing the EX6 The EX6 is a 2-way high output, active, compact, full-range speaker system. Design objectives for the EX6 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.
Enclosure Design The EX6 is a very compact, asymmetrical geometry enclosure design allowing it to be used in a variety of applications. The handle’s M10 point is used alongside a similar M10 point on the bottom of the box when utilising an EX6 Horizontal Bracket Four principal mounting bolts also provide an Omnimount™ bracket point. There are two side-mounted M10 hang points that can be used with the EX6 Vertical Bracket or eyebolts.
Chapter 1 AC Power The EX6 uses a PowerCon 3-pole AC main system with locking connectors to prevent accidental disconnection. The main AC connector (blue) serves as the power input. The EX6 operates in either 115V or 230V modes. Althoug pre-configured at the factory, the unit’s operating voltage mode can be changed in the field.
Current Requirements Each EX6 requires approximately 2.5 Amps max at 115V AC for proper operation. This allows up to six EX6’s to be powered from one 15 A breaker at 115V and up to twelve EX6’s at 230V. The EX6 presents a dynamic load to the AC mains, which causes the amount of current to fluctuate depending on quiet or loud operating levels.
Chapter 2 Audio Signal The EX6 Control Panel The EX6 features an easy to use control panel featuring AC power in, audio input and output, level control, LED status light and a High Pass filter. Audio Input and Output The EX6 uses a balanced, female XLR connector for the audio input connector, and a male XLR connector to provide through output signal. The through output connector, wired in parallel to the audio input, will continue to provide the input signal if the EX6 is turned off.
Ensure that all cabling carrying signal to multiple amplifiers NOTE and active speaker systems is wired correctly. Make sure that the polarity has not been reversed. Reversed polarity can cause severe degradation in frequency response and can also impact the dispersion characteristics of the speaker. NOTE: Thermal protection In the unlikely event of over heating the speaker system will shut down.
Chapter 3 Using Multiple Boxes Best quality Poor quality reduced output Fig. A minimum 100˚ Good quality where 2 cabinets must be used Fig. B KV2 speakers are far more accurate, defined and phase coherent than virtually any other loudspeaker on the market. 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.
