Rob McCulloch leader of the four-piece band Magic Bullitz, who tour the UK regularly providing live entertainment for private events and productions, decided to improve the quality and ability of his already impressive PA system.
McCulloch comments, "I was not dissatisfied with the performance of my existing system and did not imagine that much improvement was possible, I thought I already had the best, what I was really looking for was to reduce size, weight and even other things like AC power consumption as well as saving time on set-up and sound checking.
"Having a long established business relationship with Dave Ball at LMC he was my first point of contact so when Dave immediately recommended the KV2 Audio product I was intrigued but also disbelieving of what Dave was telling me it could do." Accordingly Ball set up a demonstration for McCulloch with Andy Austin-Brown of KV2 Audio using a simple system of two EX12 active speakers combined with two EX2.2 active bass modules.
The EX12 implements the 3" NVPD large format compression driver found in KV2's flagship VHD range of products. Phase alignment, equalisation and speaker protection are all integrated into the EX12's amplifier module.
"Initial listening immediately dispelled my original disbelief and once compared to my existing system there was absolutely no doubt as to the improvements in output combined with a stunning clarity and realism" says McCulloch. "The flexibility this system offers is fantastic and it's such a physically small package."
