INTRODUCTION Thank you for choosing Event Electronics™ direct field monitors. Before you proceed, please take a minute to read this manual and familiarize yourself with the product’s features, set-up and use.

Our engineers have spent over 25 years designing transducers, studio electronics and high performance studio monitor systems, including some of the most popular professional speakers used today. Now, using the latest in digital acoustic design tools along with high performance driver and power amplifier technology, we’ve developed the Event 20/20, 20/20p and 20/20bas systems, which extend the performance limits of direct field monitors once again.

For years, small to mid sized monitors have been built using the two- way format employing a 6½-7" diameter woofer. Event engineers have developed an extended range 8" woofer that precisely blends with our reliable 1" silk dome high frequency driver to produce an exceptionally smooth frequency response with the deeper bass and bigger soundfield typical of a larger speaker. The front-mounted low air restriction bass port also adds to our monitors’ larger acoustic signature. The 20/20bas Bia mplified System monitors build on the foundation of the passive 20/20 and realize the proven benefits of biamplification, including lowered distortion, smoother amplitude and phase response, extended bandwidth and convenience. The unique configuration of the 20/20p Powered Monitors with its passive crossover provide many of the performance benefits and all the convenience of a self-powered monitor system without the high cost.

UNPACKING Check your speaker carefully. The packing container was designed to protect your speaker during transit; immediately report any damage to your dealer or to the company that delivered them to you. Also, please complete and return your warranty card to activate your warranty and to help us keep in touch with you. Please tell us what you think of your new monitor and of your Event dealer.

SETUP The best performance from any speaker system comes with proper placement and use. There is no physical or acoustic distinction between individual left and right monitors when they are used in a stereo pair. Also, the cabinets can sit vertically or horizontally without concern for performance as long as both are situated similarly. For horizontal mounting, tip the cabinets outward so that the high frequency drivers are away from each other. Since the bass port is front mounted, you can mount the speakers near to, or even in, a wall without blocking the port.

Place your monitors on a stable surface at about ear level. A typical location would be slightly behind and to either side of a small console. The distance between the monitors should equal the distance from the listener to

either speaker. This is the common “equal length triangle” rule for speaker placement shown in Figure 1.
