Manufacturer's Description for Event TR8XL Tuned Reference Biamplified Monitors

In the few short months since their release in September, 2002, Event's Tuned Reference Biamplified Direct Field Monitors have taken the MI market by storm, offering vast legions of recording musicians access to true world-class reference monitoring at an incredibly affordable price. Now, in order to serve those musicians whose monitoring environments require reproducing high volume levels (or who just like to crank their monitors to "11"), Event has introduced the Tuned Reference 8XL. The 8XL model uses the same driver components as in the original TR8 system, but features a powerful new amplifier that delivers a full 150 watts (100 woofer/50 tweeter) to each speaker. The XL also incorporates a high-performance torroid power transformer, which gives the new model superior electrical and mechanical noise characteristics. The end result is a high-powered professional reference monitor that continues Event's long-standing tradition of providing "mixes you can trust" monitoring.

The name Tuned Reference comes from the monitors being precision tuned to provide flat frequency response and uncolored sound, thereby giving the user a true sonic reference for mixing. The design ensures that mixes created on a Tuned Reference monitor will translate accurately to other playback systems. What's the significance of the "XL" designation? It's for Xtra Loud! zZounds is an authorized dealer of Event products.

"Pretty darn good!"

Sound: Not as good as an HR824 (my main pair as well) but I can't think of anything in the same price range that sounds anywhere near as good as these do. I have a very clear idea of what is going on in a mix listening to these monitors. I have no problems doing good mixes on them whatsoever. Feature: n/a Manufacturer Support: Don't know The Wow Factor: They look great, and they sound better than any monitor I can think of for the price.

Style of Music: Electronic

"Don't buy it and risk your studio to catch fire."

Sound: Excellent sound. Feature: Great features. All around solid. Volume control should be in front. Ease of Use: Very easy. Volume control in front. Quality: Terrible. Had a speaker fixed twice in 2 years. Speaker caught fire, bad wiring. Needs to be alot more solid. Manufacturer Support: Contacted company several times about the issue. Never replied. No support at all. I will not buy Event again. The Wow Factor: Appeal is great. Heavy well built speaker, Speaker is amazing, box is amazing. Electrical is a 1 at best. Overall: First section minus second section equal 5

Style of Music: Many, most.
