introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Event 2030. Before you set up your speakers for the fi rst time, please read
through this user guide.

The Event 20/20 pedigree needs no introduction. As the speaker family that made studio monitoring
accessible to countless artists and engineers, it has become a household name and is a staple in studios the
world over. Now the time has come to build upon this legendary speaker platform, with the 2030 three-way
studio monitor system.

The 2030 is a category defi ning three-way studio monitoring system that combines three discrete drivers to
allow for incredibly accurate reproduction of the entire audio spectrum.

The 2030 borrows heavily from the technology developed for the Event Opal, incorporating fully discrete
Class AB amplifi ers for the mid-high assembly and woofer that provide up to 240 watts of burst power with
less than .02% total harmonic distortion, providing higher dynamic range which is maintained as the output
level is increased. This behaviour is due to the incomparable “soft clipping” nature of the 2030s Class AB
topology; audio playback is unfettered and remains unmasked by the distortion and inter-modulation
artifacts produced by less sophisticated amplifier designs.
