Been
looking for a top quality monitoring system, but don't want to
shell out big bucks for the privilege? Event Electronics, sister
company of RØDE, has a
solution.
Version 3 of the Event 20/20BAS
speakers - dubbed "Big Ass Sound" - is based on their flagship Opals. They take all
the best bits like high power handling and low distortion, but keep
the price pleasingly low, which makes them a very attractive
prospect for a range of usages and budgets.
The strong and clear bass makes this speaker ideal for those
working in bass-heavy electronic music. Having said
that, thanks to the very good frequency response at low
levels, the 20/20BAS is also perfect for post, sound design
and education users.
The Event 20/20BAS
speakers also have impressive safety features and durability
(believe me - these suckers are built to last!). A very big point
for education, as well as commercial use, is the built-in
protection circuits shielding the speaker from blown drivers and
thermal damage. If you need to run the 20/20BASs at very loud
levels for a long time and the input gain is too heavy, then the
input stage is switched off to protect them. And say you're working
in an environment which may not be properly air conditioned, they
will detect that too. This not only protects your investment, but
also staff and students against electrical faults.
So how does it actually sound?
RØDE's International Sales Manager Ben Sweeney
was recently in the country, he dropped in for a chat at Jigsaw HQ,
and brought the Event 20/20 BAS monitors along with him for us to
try out in our demo room (see the video below for a rundown. When
the volume was turned right down, I was impressed to hear
none of the frequencies were lost - usually the bass is the
first thing to go but it was all there, still sitting nicely in the
mix.
- You can see more details from Ben in the
video below.
