INTRODUCTION Thank you for choosing Event Electronics™ Project Studio 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 years designing transducers, studio electronics and high performance studio monitoring 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 Project Studio monitors, which extend the performance and value limits of direct field monitors again.
Event engineers based these new 100 watt Project Studio monitors on the sound and reliability of our 200 watt 20/20bas 8” two-way Biamplified System. Indeed, the new biamplified PS8 monitor uses the same drivers, enclosure and active 4th order crossover as the 20/20bas monitor, with only 3dB less maximum acoustic output. The same 100 watt Project Studio amplifier, with different active crossover and subsonic filters, powers the PS5 and PS6.
The benefits of biamplification include lowered distortion, smoother amplitude and phase response, extended bandwidth, and convenience. Project Studio amplifiers feature significant improvements in signal-to-noise ratio, input common mode rejection ratio, and reliability. They produce less distortion and less heat as well.
Event Engineers developed the small desktop biamplified PS5 speaker using shielded driver and active crossover components from our proven Tria Triamplified Monitor. The PS5’s have a convenient front panel level control plus a retractable tilt stand for optimum positioning of its wood cabinet in personal monitoring environments.
The new PS6 6½” monitor uses a new magnetically shielded 6½” LF driver to go with our proven 1” natural silk dome HF transducer. The PS6 uses a pair of low restriction bass ports and establishes a convenient intermediate size for high performance 6” two-way systems.
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. The packing material is designed to be reused—do not discard it. 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.
