For immediate release.

ESC has just contracted to provide a new sound system for the National Geographic Museum in Washington, DC.

ESC President Bill Cronheim states, "We've been working with National Geographic for over 6 months on the design and have determined that a KV2 ES series system will achieve all of the desired goals for the museum."

"KV2 truely represents state of the art in the arena of sound reinforcement." Cronheim was quoted as saying. "Rarely has technology and pure ability melded together better than the ES series by KV2."

ESC expects the new system to be operational by early spring.
 
Congratulations! Best of luck with the installation - I hope you don't run into too many unexpected surprises along the way...
 
The system is comprised of two Epak 2500's
