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".
