Event Studio Precision 8 Description
With the Event Studio Precision 8 Powered Monitors, the engineers at Event Electronics have come up with a totally new design that surpasses anything they've done to date. The Studio Precision 8 monitors bring a whole new dimension to the direct field monitoring experience.

Tight, punchy, in-your-chest bass

First on the list for Event was a commitment to provide unsurpassed low-frequency response. That spawned the development of a custom 8" polypropylene cone driver (complete with neodymium magnet) an exceptional performer that boasts ultralow distortion characteristics, incredible strength, and more output-per-watt than traditional woofer designs.

Next, the enclosure had to have dual ports. But not just any ported enclosure would do. Hidden behind the front baffle is a unique port design that provides exceptional low-frequency coupling into the room, low-distortion output, and superior low-frequency transient response. You can truly feel the tremendous LF response not just hear it.

The combination of the drivers, ports, and enclosure allow accurate reproduction of percussion and bass instruments without introducing new overtones or artificially hyped frequencies.

Soaring highs, expansive soundscape

The soft-dome neodymium high-frequency driver produces a broad, flat radiation pattern that doesn't require corrective equalization (which adds tonal coloration and robs an amplifier of headroom). The driver creates an expanded stereo soundstage that's enormous and has incredibly precise imaging with even subtle panning movements easily discernable.

High-powered performance

The biamplified Studio Precision 8 speakers deliver 280W per speaker (200W LF driver/80W HF driver) so you'll always have plenty of headroom for even the most demanding applications. The amplifier circuitry uses low-noise semiconductors and audio-grade film capacitors, giving the system enhanced dynamic range as well as exceptionally low noise and low distortion characteristics. Toroidal transformers greatly reduce mechanical and electrical noise.

Topping things off are continuously variable input sensitivity plus low- and high-frequency trim controls. There's also a switchable 80Hz high-pass filter for bass management in surround-sound applications. And for easy connection, there are both balanced XLR and 1/4" inputs.

3/4" MDF cabinets ensure that the sound emanating from the speakers is free from artificial tones created by unwanted resonance.
