K2 technology is an audio mastering technology developed by JVC Kenwood Victor Entertainment Corporation. It was named after the two engineers who developed the system: Kuwaoka and Kanai. K2 technology has two major features: Improving sound quality and packing high-definition data in lower format CDs. The fundamental principle of K2 technology is to produce audios that are “closer to the musical truth” and “restoring sound to its original state.” Originally developed from a project in 1987, K2 technology has now become the fundamental of many latest technologies in CDs industry.

History
Before the technology was developed, recording stuffs in musical industry shared a believe that the sound quality will not change when the original audio data was transferred from analog records across to digital CD. However, soon engineers found the fact that there was a clear difference in sound quality between original audio data and the copy versions on CD even though the digital data do not change during the transferring process. The engineers in Victor Studio then found the reason that disguising the original data and copy versions is the electrical distortion such as jitters and rippling occurs during the data recording and transformation. Kuwaoka and Kanai, two engineers from Victor Studio started their searching for improvements of the sound quality for audio data after transformation. Their attempts were named the “K2 Interface”, which was the original version of K2.
