On the heels of their successful mid-length Vox-S suppressor, Energetic Arms announced the compact K version around SHOT Show 2019. With “K” indicating “Kurtz” (which is German for “short”), this compact silencer chopped down about an inch, for those shooters concerned about their gun’s overall length. The K model was also generally well received, as its bigger S-model brother had been. Now Energetic is endeavoring to evolve the series further. They recently issued a press release announcing an updated version, the Vox K2. The K2 update boasts improved performance over its predecessor, measured in weight efficiency – i.e. decibel reduction per ounce of silencer weight. It will still function with a variety of mounts, such as Dead Air’s Key-Mo, SilencerCo’s ASR, Q’s Plan-B, and more, and its .30 cal bore will function with different end caps for either 7.62mm or 5.56mm compatibility and the silicone wipes for which this series has become well-known. Check out Energetic Arms’ announcement below.

DECEMBER 15, 2022Energetic Armament Releases the Next Evolution of the Vox Line
Austin, Texas
The Vox K2 represents the next evolution of the Vox line of Energetic Armament silencers. The Vox K2 is a next generation ‘kurtz’ compact silencer for shooters that require a hard use, high temperature silencer that is light and compact. Engineering efficiency is at the core of our design & development philosophy and this new silencer is testament to that. At 10.4oz and 4.9 in. long the K2 improves weight efficiency (dB/oz) by 60% at the muzzle and 25% at the ear over the legacy Vox K in testing performed on a Mk18 rifle. Where a compact, high-performance silencer is needed the Vox K2 yields 54% greater length efficiency (dB/in.) at the muzzle and 20% greater efficiency at the shooters ear.
The Vox K2 continues the feature rich tradition of the Vox line with a laser welded & nitrided C300 nickel-cobalt superalloy core. Industry standard 1.375×24 ‘HUB’ pattern mount allows shooters access to a wide array of mounting options in addition to the removeable direct thread adapter that ships with the silencer. The industry-first wipe cap is standard equipment and allows the shooter to use the silencer with or without the wipe depending on what suits their needs. The new Vox K2 accepts our accessory flash hider end caps available in both 7.62mm and 5.56mm. The Vox K2 ships standard with a combination cap/mount spanner and our Vox Blox vise block, so you are ready to go right out of the box.
The Vox K2 features the Energetic Armament patented Serial ID ring that is standard on all EA centerfire silencers. This patented ID ring ensures best-in-industry support should anything happen to your silencer such as a baffle strike. Our lifetime warranty makes sure you are covered, and warranty re-cores are handled with same day turn around rather than weeks or months with other companies.
Dealers can order now through our exclusive distribution partners, Allen Arms Tactical and Silencer Shop. To learn more about the entire Energetic lineup, please visit us at www.energeticarms.com.
One of the series’ most notable key features is the end cap wipe system, which the K2 update will retain.Energetic Arms’ prior offerings, including their four-year-old original K can, have garnered a good bit of praise. Our own suppression SME and Editor-In-Chief, Pete, has published some positive feedback in his relevant Silencer Saturday articles. How do you think the new K2 will stack up? Do you have any experience with the old Vox-K, or any other Energetic cans? How have you liked them? Do you like the wipe end cap system and find it to be a good value add, or in your opinion/experience is the juice not worth the squeeze when it comes to suppressor wipes? Is there anything about the design you’d like to see changed or added? Please feel free to let us know your thoughts in the comments below! See you at the range.
