The latest and most powerful addition to KV2 Audio’s range of stage monitors, the ESM312 is aimed at large-scale stage monitoring applications.
The ESM312 is a high-output, full-range, low profile three-way, passive monitor loaded with two bass reflex 12-inch neodymium woofers, a single horn-mounted 6-inch mid-range and a 1-inch compression driver in a compact Baltic birch cabinet.
The monitor delivers 133dB sustained output, and 136dB peak with very high dynamic range. The compression driver with complex geometry phase plug and neodymium magnetic structure claims exceptionally low distortion and extended frequency response, with dual woofers using sophisticated voice coil technology and neodymium magnetic motor reckon to offer ‘dramatically increased force’, lower distortion and increased frequency response linearity.
The compact, wedge-shaped design incorporates rear-mounted flip-out stands to allow for 35° or 45° angles as required. A specially designed acoustic fabric covering inside the grille protects against liquid spills, while a wear-resistant polymer coating is designed to withstand the rigours of touring and repeated stage use. An ergonomically designed recessed handle on each side panel facilitates handling and transport.
A worthy partner to KV2’s flagship VHD5 system, the ESM312 is looking for a home on the largest stages.
