Event Electronics 20/20 Studio Monitors (Pair) - [Passive / Active BAS] 8-Inch Nearfield Speakers
Up for sale is a legendary, factory-matched pair of Event Electronics 20/20 Passive Studio Monitors, complete with their incredibly rare original factory boxes. First introduced in 1995, the original USA-made 20/20 series radically changed the pro-audio landscape by offering true, high-resolution, world-class mix translation.
These are the sought-after passive versions, allowing you to pair them with your own high-quality studio power amplifier (such as an Alesis RA100, Hafler, or Crown) to get the exact clean power character your room requires. They are famous for their incredibly honest, un-hyped low end and smooth midrange. Unlike modern monitors that rely on digital DSP or aggressive internal EQ curves to hide acoustic flaws, the Event 20/20s give you the unvarnished truth. If your mix sounds balanced and tight on these speakers, it will translate perfectly to any consumer playback system.
Key Features & Technical Specs:
• Drivers: Heavy-duty 8-inch (200mm) mineral-filled polypropylene cone low-frequency drivers paired with 1-inch (25mm) natural silk dome high-frequency tweeters.
• Power Handling: 150W Program, 200W Peak Power at a 4-ohm impedance.
• Crossover: Asymmetrical low-loss 2300Hz crossover network.

Condition Details:
