KV2’s most powerful stage monitor yet, the ESM312 nominally delivers 133dB sustained output, and 136dB peak. A state-of-the-art 1” compression driver. The ESM312 also features dual 12” woofers with neodymium magnetic motor structure, reportedly with lower distortion and increased frequency response linearity. "It’s ability to reproduce vocals is quite simply unmatched by anything else available on the market", states the brand.
Despite the 3-way double 12" configuration the design is fairly compact, partly because of the solution of placing a side handle in front of the 6" mid-range (as seen on the left side of the photo). Dimensions are 40x59x55 cm (15.5"x23"x22"), weight being 42 kg.
The cabinet incorporates rear-mounted flip-out stands to allow for 35 or 45-degree angles as required. A fabric covering inside the grille protects against liquid spillage whilst a wear-resistant polymer coating is designed to withstand the rigours of touring and repeated stage use.
