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.

rear panel controls SIGNAL INPUT The 2030 requires the input of an industry standard XLR style cannon jack. GAIN Allows for modification of the input sensitivity, from -12dB to +12dB in regards to the reference sensitivity of 0.775v RMS. The default setting is 0. HF SHELF Allows for the implementation of a shelving filter at 2kHz. The boost and cut is variable between +/– 3dB. The default setting is 0 - filter not engaged. LF SHELF Allows for the implementation of a shelving filter at 200Hz.
mains power MAINS SWITCH Use the Mains Switch to turn the 2030 on or off. MAINS INPUT Connect the mains supply here. Ensure that you use only the cable supplied or a genuine Event replacement. Note that the amplifier is not entirely disconnected from mains power unless this cable is completely disconnected. MAINS VOLTAGE SELECTOR Please note, that as the 2030 is not fixed to operate in the voltage range of the region that it is sold in, extra care must be taken before connecting the mains power.
unpacking your speakers We understand that you may be eager to unpack your new Event 2030s, but please be careful when unpacking the speakers. Your new studio monitors have been carefully inspected, tested and packed by our quality control engineers prior to shipping. Please take care at each stage of unpacking. The Event 2030 features an aluminium alloy dome tweeter, which may be easily damaged by hands when removing the speaker from the packaging.
connecting your speakers Before you connect and turn on your Event 2030 speakers, ensure the Gain level on the rear of the speaker is set to the lowest setting and the HF shelf and LF shelf dials are both set to zero. If too much input signal is present, the amplifiers may overload. 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.
2030 acoustic axis 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 X 709-950-1-1_2030_usermanual.
mounting your speakers The Event 2030 have been designed to be mounted horizontally. This means that each speaker will be a mirror image of its partner. To ensure the most accurate frequency response, the speakers should be placed in the correct left and right positions, with the tweeter / midrange driver assembly facing inward as shown below. Mount the speakers at ear level, facing slightly inward, so that the acoustic axis (see previous page) directly faces the listening position.
