Product Description

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

Rather than simply adding a mid-range driver to the 20/20BAS configuration which could have been easily achieved, Event's engineers took the three-way concept to a new level, resulting in a class-defining speaker system with compelling audio performance and a physical embodiment that makes it ideal for use in near field applications. A new wave guide assembly was designed to house the speaker's mid-range and high frequency drivers as well as optimize audio dispersion and power response characteristics.

For the critical mid-range application a 3.5-inch cone transducer was engineered using a pressed pulp and polypropylene cone, combined with an optimized magnetic circuit. The driver is loaded onto a shallow wave guide that results in increased sensitivity and output while generating very low distortion artifacts, giving the 2030 speaker system an incredibly defined, upfront vocal character.

Combined with an aluminum alloy dome tweeter, the mid-high wave guide assembly employs an optimized set of electronic acoustic filters, derived from Event's flagship Opal studio monitor, to maximize phase, time correction and frequency response characteristics. The resulting signal processing achieves controlled audio reproduction and smooth frequency response performance extending well above 20 kHz.

A key design feature of the 2030 amplifier is use of a proprietary, soft clipping power amplifier design topology that never allows the amplifier's output waveform to become jagged or harsh. This results in a speaker system whose character stays consistent no matter what the output level, as audible distortion artifacts artifacts artifacts kept under control.

The new Event 2030 combines precisely engineered acoustic design, signal processing and amplifier technology to provide an incredibly detailed and wide soundstage with a bass response that far exceeds what most would expect from a box this size. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Event products.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!
