About the 20/20 S250 System Subwoofer
Everyone wants more bottom end from their audio setup, and the Event
self-powered 20/20 S250 System Subwoofer makes an excellent foundation
for an extended bandwidth monitoring system. With five balanced inputs
and pass-throughs for active monitors, the 20/20 S250 provides low
frequency bandwidth and power extension to all audio channels in mono,
stereo, and 5.1 surround monitoring systems. A sixth balanced input is
available for monitoring the separate Low Frequency Effects (LFE) “.1”
signal, along with its own pass-through for feeding multiple subs when
room size or program material demands more acoustic output.
The 20/20 S250’s variable crossover allows you to tune the subwoofer to
your active monitors’ natural low-end response. This produces the lowest
possible sub-to-monitor crossover frequency, which results in more
accurate monitor system performance, and more options for subwoofer
placement in the studio. Other subwoofer systems only pass the front
channels through a fixed 80Hz crossover, which changes the low fre-
quency sonic character of the monitors and unnaturally redirects more
audible acoustic energy though a single low frequency channel.
The 20/20 S250’s versatile Bass Management System includes the five
monitor inputs and a monitor group level control. This feeds the active
variable crossover, a continuously variable 0-180
°
phase delay control,
and a polarity invert switch. There’s also a monitor input disable switch for
instant in/out selection. The separate LFE input has its own level control
and a separate crossover fixed at 120Hz. Everything works together as a
system: The 20/20 S250 System Subwoofer.
Crossover, phase, and polarity settings for Event Direct Field Monitors are
