Seven years ago, Event unveiled their 20/20bas Biamplified System. Since then, the monitors have garnered many fans and won numerous awards. Event now continues thelegacy with the release of the 20/20bas V2, which combines elements of the original model with new technology.

The 20/20bas V2 uses the same 8" mineral-impregnated polypropylene low frequency driver and 1" silk dome high frequency driver found on the original, pairing these proven performers with all new amplifier technology and a redesigned cabinet that offers improved durability and aesthetics while maintaining the exact physical proportions---and the sound---of the original model. The amplifier delivers 130W to the LF driver and 70W to the HF driver, and is powered by a toroidal transformer, which offers significantly reduced mechanical and electrical noise. Continuously variable low- and high-frequency trim controls allow users to compensate for anomalies in their rooms, and both balanced XLR and 1/4" inputs are provided.

• Low Frequency Driver: Magnetically shielded 8" mineral-filled polypropylene cone with 1-1/2" diameter high-temperature voice coil and damped rubber surround

• High Frequency Driver: Magnetically shielded 1" diameter ferrofluid-cooled silk dome radiator

• Frequency Response: 38Hz - 20kHz, +/-3dB, ref. 500Hz

• Amplifier Power: Biamplified, 200 Watts; 130W LF driver / 70W HF driver; toroidal transformer

• Crossover: 2.6kHz, active asymmetrical fourth-order

• Controls: Continuously variable input sensitivity; continuously variable high frequency trim; continuously variable low frequency trim

• Inputs: Balanced XLR and 1/4"

• Indicators: Power-on/Clip LED

• Protection: RF interference, output current limiting, over temperature, turn on/off transient, subsonic filter, internal fuse, magnetic shielding

20/20bas V2 Biamplified Direct Field Monitors are Designed and Manufactured in the U.S.A.
