1. important safety instructions e W o LU 2030 introduction Thank you for purchasing the Event 2030 Before you set up your speakers for the first time please read through this user guide The Event 20 20 pedigree needs no introduction As the speaker family that made studio monitoring accessible to countless artists and engineers it has become a household name and is a staple in studios the world over Now the time has come to build upon this legendary speaker platform with the 2030 three way studio monitor system The 2030 is a category defining three way studio monitoring system that combines three discrete drivers to allow for incredibly accurate reproduction of the entire audio spectrum The 2030 borrows heavily from the technology developed for the Event Opal incorporating fully discrete Class AB amplifiers for the mid high assembly and woofer that provide up to 240 watts of burst power with less than 02 total harmonic distortion providing higher dynamic range which is maintained as the output level is increased This behaviour is due to the incomparable soft clipping nature of the 2030s Class AB topology audio playback is unfettered and remains unmasked by the distortion and inter modulation artifacts produced by less sophisticated amplifier designs Please take the time to visit www eventelectronic2.

6. d Ensure the power switch is also turned off Next connect your monitors via the XLR input located at the back of the speaker Use only good quality input connectors having industry standard dimensions If you require an input type other than XLR such as RCA or TRS you will require an adaptor to connect your speakers However Event strongly recommends using the XLR balanced input wherever possible for a higher quality signal Check that your voltage selector has been configured to the correct setting for your location If your speaker is set at an incompatible voltage it will be necessary to switch the voltage selector and change the fuse type If at all unsure of how to complete this process Event strongly recommends you contact qualified service personnel to switch the fuse Once voltage is correctly configured connect your 3 Pin IEC AC connector from the monitor to an AC power socket Your 2030 monitors are now ready to turn on Adjust the Gain setting as necessary to achieve a suitable level leaving enough headroom for control through your signal source The 2030 is an active 3 way speaker This means that monitor placement slightly differs from a 2 way system The acoustic axis of the 2030 is located at the point directly between the tweeter and midrange driver Please see the diagram below for the acoustic axis point ACOUSTIC AXIS POINT ACOUSTIC AXIS POINT mounting your speakers The Event 2030 have been designed
