Introductions
The KPAK2600 is a three-way, active control and amplification system specifically designed for the KV2
Audio K-RIG loudspeaker systems. It houses all signal processing and amplification as well as providing
control for subwoofer or multiple subwoofers, powered by the internal subwoofer amplifier.
Unlike most other speaker manufacturers, KV2 Audio is equally expert in electronic design - in fact,
we’re fifty-year veterans at building rugged, high-current power amps. When you’re able to perfectly
match an amp with a transducer, you unlock incredible performance that is not achievable with passive
systems.
The amplifier can perfectly handle the impedance swings of the transducer. It can deliver exactly the
right amount and type of power. Reliability goes up dramatically as does sound quality.
Each amplifier in the EPAK2600 perfectly complements the transducers it is coupled to. They are therefore
very different from each other with respect to construction and purpose.
The High frequency amplifier inside the KPAK2600 is Class AB, with Push-Pull amplifier circuits using
(MOSFET) Transistor output stage devices. The entire performance strategy for this type of design is
based on producing the lowest inter-modulation distortion possible and the highest audio quality in the
critical mid and high operating bands. The Amplifier is coupled to the high driver through a transformer
balanced speaker output.
The Mid frequency amplifier is a high efficiency design with reduced intermodulation distortion.
With the Low frequency amplifier, we’ve selected a very high efficiency and refined low frequency
amplifier topology. The unique part of the design is in the voltage amplifier’s ideal method in supplying
current to the output stage. It’s based on a switcher design that supplies current both in it’s on and off
position and presents superior bass reproduction quality. The system is also 95% efficient, lowering
typical amplifier losses and eliminating the need for forced cooling systems.
The amplifier compliment inside the KPAK2600 is as follows:
High Frequency - 200-watt, Class AB, push pull, low intermodulation design
Mid Frequency - 600-watt, Class AB, high efficiency, switch mode, low intermodulation design
Subwoofer - 1600-watt, high efficiency, current-enhancing switch mode with Linear Active Filter
Robust mechanical design.
The KPAK2600 is enclosed in a road-rugged case with two corner handles, aluminium corners and edge
covers. The case has a removable front panel with built-in cable storage compartment.
