Description
The KV2 Audio EX12 is a high-performance 2-way active full-range loudspeaker engineered to deliver exceptional clarity, high output, and precision sound reproduction in a compact yet powerful enclosure. Designed for professional live sound, AV installations, and fixed applications, it builds on the success of the EX Series by incorporating advanced transducer technology and integrated DSP processing.
With its combination of a 12-inch low-frequency driver and high-performance compression driver, the EX12 provides a balanced and articulate sound profile, making it ideal for both speech and music applications.
High-Output 2-Way Active Design
The EX12 features a 12-inch neodymium woofer paired with a high-frequency compression driver, delivering a powerful and accurate full-range response. This configuration ensures strong low-end performance while maintaining detailed midrange and high-frequency clarity.
With 500W RMS amplification and up to 127dB continuous SPL, the EX12 is capable of delivering high output levels suitable for demanding environments.
Advanced Driver Technology for Enhanced Clarity
The low-frequency driver utilises KV2’s proprietary Transcoil technology, optimising cone control and improving vocal intelligibility. This results in:
- Clear and defined speech reproduction
- Controlled and punchy low frequencies
- Consistent performance across varying listening environments
The high-frequency section features a titanium compression driver with an 80° x 40° dispersion pattern, providing focused coverage and excellent projection.
Integrated DSP and System Optimisation
The EX12 incorporates onboard DSP processing, including:
- Electronic crossovers
- Phase alignment and time correction
- Equalisation and system tuning
- Advanced protection circuitry
This ensures optimal performance straight out of the box, eliminating the need for external processing and simplifying system setup.
Wide Frequency Response and Coverage
With a frequency response of approximately 55Hz to 22kHz (-3dB), the EX12 delivers full-range audio suitable for standalone use in many applications.
Its controlled dispersion ensures even coverage, making it effective for both near-field and mid-throw applications.
Designed for Professional Applications
The EX12 is purpose-built for high-quality audio reinforcement in a wide range of professional environments, including:
- Live sound and small to medium concerts
- Corporate AV and conference systems
- Theatres and houses of worship
- Retail and hospitality installations
- Stage monitoring and infill applications
Its ability to deliver clear, articulate sound makes it particularly effective for speech-focused applications.
Scalable System Performance
The EX12 can operate as a standalone full-range loudspeaker or be paired with subwoofers such as the KV2 EX2.2 or EX2.5 to create a complete full-range PA system for larger venues and events.
This flexibility allows it to scale from compact installations to more powerful live sound systems.
Bi-Amplified Power Architecture
The speaker features a bi-amplified design consisting of:
- 450W high-efficiency low-frequency amplifier
- 50W Class AB high-frequency amplifier
This ensures:
- High efficiency and reduced distortion
- Improved dynamic range
- Precise control across frequency bands
Robust Construction and Mounting Flexibility
Constructed from durable Baltic birch plywood with a protective coating, the EX12 is built for both touring and installation use. It includes:
- Integrated handles for portability
- Pole mount socket for stand use
- Rigging points for fixed installation
Its compact yet robust design allows it to be deployed in a wide range of environments.
