UK - Xtreme Audio Visual has installed a complete audio visual package at Sky Nightclub for client Ware Leisure, including a new sound system from KV2 Audio. The main club is split into two rooms, Daylight, the main dance area and the Sunset VIP Lounge. Daylight presented an acoustical challenge to Xtreme having multiple levels of vaulted ceilings along with raised floor levels. To overcome these problems, Xtreme opted to use the KV2 ES Active driven system consisting of four ES1.0, two ES2.5, 2 x ES1.8 and two ES1.5, powered by four EPAK 2500s, using an Audia Solo for the processing and routing.

The system was designed in conjunction with KV2's Andy Austin Brown. Due to the layout of the venue, and the wide variety of events planned for the system, the design was far from straightforward, but Austin Brown's knowledge of the KV2 products enabled an audio solution for all the problems encountered. One special request from the client was that, whilst the system should perform and be up front sonically, from an aesthetic point of view the cabinets had to remain unobtrusive. KV2 Audio made the cabinets sky grey/blue, allowing the system to blend into their environment. Craig Wiggins of Xtreme commented: "Sonically the system is magnificent, providing a solid bottom end along with crystal clear vocals - a brilliant all-rounder!"

The Sunset Lounge has been fitted with the smaller powered KV2 EX system. With aesthetics equally important, this system is coloured dark terracotta. The compact system consists of four EX10s and twoEX2.2s. The final word from Wiggins was: "In growing our business it is important to keep up with the latest advances in audio visual technologies. To that end we enjoy the fresh approach that manufacturers like KV2 Audio are bringing to the table and the benefits that its products represent to our clients".
