The original 20/20 from Event revolutionised the recording industry in the 1990′s and secured
a place in the hearts of audio engineers the world over.
Using manufacturing processes and materials unheard of at the time, the 20/20 combined a
magnetically shielded 25mm natural silk dome with an 8″ mineral-impregnated polypropylene
cone. A laminated and internally dampened MDF cabinet with a front-mounted large diameter
bass port assisted in providing the 20/20′s impressive low end response.
A year later Event released a powered version, the 20/20bas, to critical acclaim from engineers,
musicians and the media alike. The very first pair of 20/20bas speakers were used by Francis Buckley
to mix Quincy Jones’ Q’s Jook Joint album for which he won the 1996 Grammy Award for Best Engineered Album.
Now fifteen years later Event is proud to announce a new generation of clarity, transparency, definition and
some Big Ass Sound.
This new speaker incorparates a number of fundamental improvements over the original model while remaining
true to its character and performance strengths.
Event’s engineering team used ideas and technologies from its flagship Opal speaker in order to achieve
performance in keeping with the company design philosophy of high output, low distortion and excellent dynamics.
