Looking for an improvement in overall sound quality and coverage at the venue, the KV2 system was physically dwarfed by 28 boxes of an existing NEXO house system installed five years ago, and in replacing it with only Six stacks of the more compact ES system, the management and promoters were interested if not slightly nervous as to what the results would be.
"At 2500 capacity everything tells you that these small speakers should not be enough, but like so many other KV2 experiences, the reality was a jaw dropping, word eating one" said KV2's Jonathan Reece-Farren As the Palais promotions and events co-ordinator, Atif Malik put it "Our sound proof Glass Bar isn't sound proof anymore, but the system sounds great"
The biggest improvements were in coverage, and clarity, particularly important for the multitude of events that the Palais host on a weekly basis. For the less discerning an increase in overall level, and stomach churning tightly controlled bass were order of the day on the dance floor, not to forget the ultimate "DJ proof" limiting system that claims to temper even the wildest Anthem spinning speaker sadists. Over the following weeks the system was used for student nights, General Club, as well as the famous School Disco, and Carlton T.V awards.
