Description
Tight, punchy, in-your-chest bass
First on the list for Event was a commitment to provide unsurpassed low-frequency response. That spawned the development of a custom 8" polypropylene cone driver (complete with neodymium magnet)--an exceptional performer that boasts ultralow distortion characteristics, incredible strength, and more output-per-watt than traditional woofer designs.
Next, the enclosure had to have dual ports. But not just any ported enclosure would do. Hidden behind the front baffle is a unique port design that provides exceptional low-frequency coupling into the room, low-distortion output, and superior low-frequency transient response. You can truly feel the tremendous LF response--not just hear it.
The combination of the drivers, ports, and enclosure allow accurate reproduction of percussion and bass instruments without introducing new overtones or artificially hyped frequencies.
Soaring highs, expansive soundscape
The soft-dome neodymium high-frequency driver produces a broad, flat radiation pattern that doesn't require corrective equalization (which adds tonal coloration and robs an amplifier of headroom). The driver creates an expanded stereo soundstage that's enormous and has incredibly precise imaging with even subtle panning movements easily discernable.
High-powered performance
The biamplified Studio Precision 8 speakers deliver 280W per speaker (200W LF driver/80W HF driver) so you'll always have plenty of headroom for even the most demanding applications. The amplifier circuitry uses low-noise semiconductors and audio-grade film capacitors, giving the system enhanced dynamic range as well as exceptionally low noise and low distortion characteristics. Toroidal transformers greatly reduce mechanical and electrical noise.
Topping things off are continuously variable input sensitivity plus low- and high-frequency trim controls. There's also a switchable 80Hz high-pass filter for bass management in surround-sound applications. And for easy
connection, there are both balanced XLR and 1/4" inputs.
3/4" MDF cabinets ensure that the sound emanating from the speakers is free from artificial tones created by unwanted resonance.

Solid Tight Sound

I recently purchased a pair of ADAM Audio A7 monitors, while impressed by the detail and clarity they provided, I needed something with more low end without buying a separate subwoofer. I went into my local Guitar Center and auditioned most of the monitors they had on demo with some select songs from my iPod. The Event ASP8's blew my mind! They have a very wide sound field. A very clean and flat sound, and the bass goes low, but is not over hyped. Probably the perfect monitors for any form of electronic music, from Minimal House to Drum N Bass.
Great for Pop/Hip Hop, not so hot for Rock

The Event ASP8 monitors have a seriously impressive low end, and have a very wide sweet spot... Very nice for bigger control rooms to appease the ears of an entire group. Unfortunately they're definately aimed towards the Pop/RnB/Hip Hop genres. Very clear and non fatiguing highs, very thick thumping lows, but a moderate midrange. If you mix Rock, or Metal, these are NOT the speakers for you.
