About the 20/20 Series
Our engineers have spent years designing transducers, studio electronics, and high
performance studio monitoring systemsNincluding some of the most popular
professional speakers used today. Now, using the latest digital acoustic design tools
and high performance driver and power amplifier technology, theyOve developed
the 20/20 V2 seriesNthe successor generation to our award-winning 20/20a and
20/20basa monitors. The V2 monitors feature a number of technical improvements,
while at the same time maintaining the standards in performance and sonic
excellence for which the original 20/20 series is internationally renowned.
The 20/20 V2 series comprises two 8" two-way models, the passive 20/20 V2 and
the active 20/20bas V2. Both models incorporate the same 1" silk dome high
frequency driver and 8" mineral impregnated low frequency driver used in the
original 20/20 and 20/20bas, so the accuracy and frequency response of the V2
models is virtually identical to the originals. The components are housed, however
in a new cabinet that features updated stylingNand, more importantlyNadditional
protection against accidental damage. The 20/20bas V2 also features an advanced
new amplifier that delivers enhanced performance. Theamplifier is powered by a
toroidal transformer, for greatly reduced mechanical and electrical noise.

in a stereo configuration, there is no physical or acoustic distinction between
the left and right speakers. The cabinets can sit vertically or horizontally so
long as both cabinets are situated in the same direction. To maximize the
Osweet spot� we recommend that the cabinets be oriented vertically. If you
choose to place them in a horizontal position, orient the cabinets with the high
frequency drivers pointing to the outside, away from each other. Since each |
