F IGURE 1. T HE PRIME LISTENING POSITION OR SWEET SPOT .
T HE DISTANCE BETWEEN EACH SPEAKER AND THE MONITORING
POSITION SHOULD BE EQUAL .
Notice that Figure 1 also shows the speaker cabinets turned inward
directly facing the listening position. This puts you in the sweet spot, which
yields the most accurate stereo reproduction. If you need a wider sweet spot to
allow for greater listener movement or for group monitoring, face the speakers
in a slightly more open position, but never more than necessary. Finally, if you
must mount the speakers substantially above or below ear level, then you will
also need to tilt the cabinets downward or upward as well to keep them directly
facing you.
Once you start using your Event monitors, you may find it helpful to
move around in their soundfield to locate their best position in your
environment, but if you follow the equal distance, ear level, face-on rules,
you’ve already optimized their position for a single user in most situations.
20/20 C ONNECTIONS TO AN E XTERNAL P OWER A MPLIFIER The
passive Event 20/20 monitors present a 4 ohm nominal load impedance to the
amplifier. Amplifiers rated for 8 ohm minimum loads are generally not suitable
and may even suffer damage if used. We recommend using a power amplifier
rated in the range of 100-200 watts per channel into 4 ohms. Higher power
amplifiers can be used with caution, but care must be taken to never exceed the
20/20 monitor’s 150W program/200W peak ratings. Event is not responsible for
damage caused by overpowering the speaker’s components.
Connections to the monitors are made via 5-way binding posts on the
rear panel. These terminals will accept large diameter bare or tinned wires,
spade or pin terminals, or banana plugs. Use the shortest length of #10 to #14
