Welcome to KV2 Audio

Located in Southern Bohemia, KV2 represents many of the unique aspects that are seeing Eastern European manufacturers prosper in these difficult economic times. It’s about the people, the place, and strong traditions in education, the arts, and industry. Prior to World War II, Czechoslovakia was one of the most industrialized countries on earth. The subsequent invasions of the country bankrupted its economy.
Today the country is again prospering thanks to the resilience and hard work of its people. Unique in its makeup, KV2 draws on its Czech heritage.
Today we live in a world that has compromised audio quality. Technological advancements now try to bend the rules of physics, focus on slick user interfaces, and create virtual equipment in an effort to save space and money. Digital Sound Processing is everywhere, manufacturers strive to control every aspect of sound reproduction but all the while it moves us further and further from the original source, its timbre, and dynamics. Capturing the emotion and ambiance of a performance has become secondary. At KV2 the true reproduction of the original sound and its dynamics are the key elements in the development of our products. We have bucked industry trends and broken industry standards to find the best possible audio solutions both analog and digital. We don’t simply gauge our system’s performance on published specifications; we gauge it by the smiles on people’s faces.
As we move through the digital evolution the limitations of our imaginations have expanded into the virtual but the laws of nature can’t be denied. At KV2 we strive to bring art and science together, to reveal the true emotion in a performance. Our products are designed not just to provide a solution for sound reproduction; they are built with the intention of providing the optimum listening experience and enjoyment for the audience. To deliver something special, something beyond expectation. KV2 builds plug-and-play systems that save you money, are fast and easy to set up, are suitable for venues of all sizes and simply provide superior sound quality to any competing product.
With incredibly low distortion and extremely high definition, KV2’s point source systems give you the capability to cover more people with less equipment delivering real value in quality sound reinforcement.

The thing you immediately notice when visiting KV2 is the employees’ strong connection with what they do, their genuine interest in the company, and their desire to build equipment to the highest standard for end users around the world.
This 100,000 sq foot facility is fully renovated to meet KV2’s needs. We have implemented state of the art manufacturing lines and a high-quality paint shop. We constructed one of the largest anechoic chambers in the world for testing and expanded our R&D lab, along with new offices and warehousing. But despite all this, we are still located in the small town of Milevsko, where it all began, employing local people and building on those strong Czech traditions.
George Krampera
George Krampera is truly one of the audio pioneers of modern times. He has been building audio equipment for nearly fifty years, and millions of people have experienced sound produced from the equipment he has designed. Throughout his long and successful career, George’s vision has remained unchanged, to eliminate distortion and loss of information in the signal path, thus providing sound reproduction that has true dynamic range and representation of the source.
Growing up in the Czech Republic, his father was a notable technician, as a child George played with valves and other components, building his first radio before he was ten. His interest in music and sound grew and by the age of fourteen, George was building power amps and other equipment for local bands in Prague. George continued his electronic training after leaving school and worked as a technician in Prague repairing various pieces of equipment while retaining a strong connection with the local music scene.
The Russian invasion of Czech in 1968 brought tough times for the country and as George built his career, he became increasingly concerned about the future of the country and the safety of his family. In August of 1983, George loaded his young family into their car and left everything they owned behind to escape to Austria. Once safely across the border, George was granted asylum status and a few months later they departed for Canada.
“KV2 today is the culmination of one man’s lifelong search for perfect sound.”
