Chapter 2: Getting Started

Unpacking

Unpack the ESP2000 and check to see if
there is any damage to it. If you find any dam-
age, notify your supplier immediately. Only the 
consignee may institute a claim with the carri-
er for any damage incured during shipping. Be
sure to save the carton and all packaging
materials for the carrier’s inspection.

Should you ever need to ship the unit, only
use the original factory packaging. If the ship-
ping carton is unavailable, contact your suppli-
er to obtain a replacement.

The ESP2000 carton should contain:

ESP2000 power amplifier
User’s guide
PowerCon detachable power cable

Introducing the ESP2000

The ESP2000 is a two channel rack mount-
able power amplifier. The unit contains two
seperate 1000 watt amplifiers, two independ-
ent power supplies, (each channel running off
each power supply), two signal paths, inputs and
outputs as well as limiting and low frequency
enhancement on each of the two channels
within a two rack unit chassis. It can be used
to power any range of passive loudspeakers as
well as being specifically designed for opti-
mised performance with KV2 Audio’s ESD
Series.

Whilst this unit is simple to operate improper
use can be dangerous. This is a very high-
powered device that can output high voltages
and sizeable currents. Always use safe operat-
ing techniques with the ESP2000.

FOR YOUR SAFETY, READ THE IMPORTANT
PRECAUTIONS SECTION AS WELL AS THE
INPUT, OUTPUT AND POWER CONNECTION
