Amnesia Ibiza chooses KV2 Audio for terrace sound system

As one of Ibiza’s most iconic clubs, Amnesia has built a reputation for having the island’s best sound. In 2022, the Main Room underwent a major upgrade with a KV2 Audio sound system, custom-configured by club sound specialists PLUSMUSIC Ibiza. On the back of this success, in 2025, focus shifted to Amnesia’s expansive Terrace – formerly an open-air space, now enclosed by a windowed roof. Here, PLUSMUSIC Ibiza was once again turned to KV2.

“After more than twenty years in the music industry, I’ve had the chance to listen to countless professional sound systems,” said Amnesia’s owner, Martin Vega. “But the first day I heard KV2, I knew it was on another level.”

“We found that KV2 Audio’s offerings aligned perfectly with our brief,” said project manager Fernando Cerdeira. “Their point source systems are known for their superior sound clarity and precise audio delivery, which is crucial for creating an immersive experience in the club.”

Working alongside Amnesia’s in-house team and renowned nightclub acoustics expert, George Stavro, PLUSMUSIC Ibiza designed a system that balanced power, coverage, and reliability for long sessions while staying true to the club’s legendary essence. “This upgrade will elevate the overall experience for everyone and set a new standard for quality,” added system designer Stefano Trevisan.

A major highlight of the project was the debut of two new KV2 products: the ESD312 loudspeaker and VHD7000D amplifier. “The two ESD312s act as dedicated nearfield DJ monitors,” explained Cerdeira. “It’s compact, powerful, and incredibly precise – ideal for delivering the kind of detailed, low-latency monitoring DJs need to stay perfectly in sync.” The ESD312 is not permanently installed but instead designed for mobility, allowing the DJ booth to be repositioned easily for events with alternate stage configurations.

To deliver full coverage throughout the terrace, the system also features eight SL412 wide-dispersion loudspeakers, ensuring powerful, consistent sound across the dancefloor. These are supported by a range of VHD8.10 mid-bass units and 16 VHD2.18J subwoofers, driven by ten of the new VHD7000D amplifiers, engineered to handle high-powered applications with advanced protection and performance capabilities.

The VHD7000D incorporates an integrated RMS limiter to prevent thermal buildup, a peak limiter to safeguard against mechanical damage, and a tunable notch filter to control low-frequency resonance. “The sub is perfectly suited to Amnesia’s energetic environment,” Cerdeira continued. “The high output, long play times, and consistent sound quality are essential to the clubbing experience.”

The bar area uses 12 ESD10 loudspeakers to maintain clear, low-volume audio ideal for conversation. VIP zones are equipped with a premium mix of EX15, EX12, and ESR215 speakers, supported by 12 ESD1.12 subwoofers powered by three ESP2000 amplifiers, delivering rich bass without overwhelming the space. The static DJ booth features two ESR212 monitors, driven by a single ESR2800 amplifier, with two VHD2.18J subwoofers powered by the new VHD7000D, providing performers with accurate, high-quality reference sound.

“We first installed KV2 in 2018,” added Vega on the club’s history with KV2. “Since then, the system has been upgraded every year with the latest technology. At first, it wasn’t easy – many DJs were hesitant, and the simple solution would have been to go with one of the conventional brands. But I was driven by the same passion as George Krampera – KV2’s founder and one of the most influential transducer designers of modern audio. I wanted our audience to enjoy an audiophile-level experience unlike any other club.”
