Nearfield Studio Monitor from Event

Event Electronics 2020BAS V3 are a Big Ass Sound nearfield studio monitors that have been significantly re-engineered. First released in 1995, the original 20/20 nearfield studio monitor was universally acclaimed and launched the Event brand worldwide. A year later Event released a powered version, the 2020bas, to critical acclaim from engineers, musicians and the media alike. Now fifteen years later Event is pioneering a new generation of clarity, transparency and definition with the release of the Event 20/20BAS. This speaker incorporates a number of fundamental improvements over the original model while remaining true to its character and performance strengths.

The original transducer design and cabinet volume have been maintained, however the high and low frequency amplifiers, cabinet bracing and overall construction have been revolutionised to improve audio characteristics, increase dynamics and extend reliability. Event's engineering team used ideas and technologies from its flagship Opal speaker in order to achieve performance in keeping with the company design philosophy of high output, low distortion and excellent dynamics. Fully discrete Class AB amplifiers for the tweeter and woofer provide up to 250 watts of burst power with less than .01% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD). More than doubles the power provided by the original 20/20bas amplifier design with less than half the distortion. Sustained high output performance is ensured through a new oversized toroidal power supply that can ensure sustained extreme low frequency reproduction.
