Magnetically shielded. Balanced XLR and 1/4 in.; unbalanced RCA inputs.

Do your mixes suffer from buried vocals, overwhelming bass, screetchy guitars, or other sonic unpleasantries? No doubt your monitors simply aren't giving you an accurate picture of what's going on in your mix. How to make the problems go away? Switch to Event monitors -- the monitors famous for their "mixes you can trust" sound. (Just ask the people who have won Grammy awards for mixes they've done on them.)

And now it's easier than ever to make the switch. Introducing the Tuned Reference 5 and Tuned Reference 8. Their names tell the whole story: These monitors are precision tuned to provide flat frequency response and uncolored sound, giving you a true sonic reference for mixing. So when you mix on a Tuned Reference monitor, you know your mixes will translate accurately to other playback systems. (Which is, after all, the whole point.)

You might think that this level of mix precision comes at a high price. But thanks to a powerful new ultra-efficient amplifier (actually 2 of them, since these are biamplified systems), Event's able to bring you high definition, non-fatiguing monitoring at prices so low they're downright silly. But don't let the cost fool you: The TR series monitors are filled with time-tested Event technology, and designed by the same engineering team behind our full line of critically acclaimed monitors.

So pick up a pair of TR monitors today at your favorite music store. Your mixes will thank you.

This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
I think I will use these guys for a long time and be real happy with the ol' workhorses.
Sound
Clear, open sound. Tried a few others side by side. Only a set of Mackies more than twice the price had better sound because the bass was cleaner. Man, when I stuck my head between these babies it sounded like the singer was right straight in front of me. When the backup vocals came in they were like surrounding the vocalist...what excellent stereo imaging.
Features
I love the simplicity. When you have great sound you don't need to tweak.
Quality
The quality is in the amps and speakers...thats what really counts. The paint is a little thin but I don't look at the speakers when I'm mixing, I just gotta hear the sound.
Value
Best value for my money.
Manufacturer Support
Don't know. Hope I never need to.
The Wow Factor
I needed good speakers to mix with. Even Sony pro headphones give me at lot more ear fatigue than these.
