Czech Republic - KV2 Audio has announced the latest addition to its VHD Series with the VHD7000D subwoofer amplifier. Engineered to drive all VHD, ES, and SL subwoofer elements, the VHD7000D is aimed at large-scale events. Its advanced setup options allow for effortless integration into any KV2 Audio system.
This universal bass amplifier is fully compatible with third-party subwoofers – a first for KV2. An innovative power management system enables the VHD7000D to deliver short-term power of 7kW, with peak output up to 14kW, while operating at a modest consumption of only 3.6kW from a 16A circuit. The peak output power extends far beyond the capacity of the mains supply and outperforms comparable amplifiers.
A standout is the integrated RMS limiter, which provides long-term protection for loudspeaker components by monitoring average power over time and analysing thermal behaviour to control temperature buildup. This ensures efficient power management, preventing overheating, compression, or driver damage. Pre-configured within the VHD7000D’s factory presets, it maximises SPL output, minimises thermal compression at high temperatures, and maintains natural sound dynamics even during continuous high-output operation, ensuring consistent performance in demanding live and installation environments.
Another key feature is the tunable notch filter for resonance suppression. It prevents excessive cone excursion that causes distortion, reduced clarity, and shortened lifespan. Essential for touring or permanent installations, it delivers clear, precise, and impactful audio with a balanced low-frequency response and improved definition across the bass range.
