Event Electronics 20/20BAS V3 have been significantly re-engineered and deliver the latest incarnation of the Event Big Ass Sound active studio monitor. Event Electronics 20/20BAS V3 studio monitors have been continually developed and improved since their launch back in 1995, with the original 20/20 receiving universal critical acclaim. A year later Event released a powered version, the 2020BAS. Now fifteen years later Event is pioneering a new generation of clarity, transparency and definition with the release of 20 20 BAS V3. This speaker incorporates a number of fundamental improvements over the original model while remaining true to its character and performance strengths.
The original transducer design and cabinet volume have been maintained, however the high and low frequency amplifiers, cabinet bracing and overall construction have been revolutionised to improve audio characteristics, increase dynamics and extend reliability. 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. Fully discrete Class AB amplifiers for the tweeter and woofer provide up to 250 watts of burst power with less than .01% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD). More than doubles the power provided by the original 20/20bas amplifier design with less than half the distortion. Sustained high output performance is ensured through a new oversized toroidal power supply that can ensure sustained extreme low frequency reproduction.
