20/20 V2 User Guide3
cabinetOs bass port is front-mounted, you can position the monitors near a wall
(or even in a wall) without fear of blocking the port, which would compromise
the bass response. Notice that Figure 1 also shows the speaker cabinets turned
slightly inward, so that the driver components directly face the listening position.
When oriented this way, the listener is in the Osweet spot,� which yields the most
accurate stereo reproduction. If you need a wider sweet spot to allow for greater
listener movement or for group monitoring, face the speakers in a slightly more
open position, but never more than necessary. Finally, if you must mount the
speakers substantially above or below ear level, you will also need to tilt the
cabinets downward or upward to keep the driver components directly facing you.
As you become more familiar with your speakers, you may find it helpful to
move around in the soundfield to locate the optimum listening position for your
particular monitoring environment. But if you follow the equal-distance, ear-level,
face-on rules outlined above, youOve already optimized their position for a single
user in most situations.
Figure 1. When the listener and the monitors are positioned in an
equal triangle with the monitors directly facing the listener, the listener is
situated in the Osweet spot,� which yields optimum stereo reproduction.
Connecting the Passive 20/20 V2 Speakers to an External Amplifier
The passive 20/20 V2 monitors present a 4 ohm nominal load impedance to the
amplifier. Amplifiers rated for 8 ohm minimum loads are generally not suitable and
may even suffer damage if used. We recommend using a power amplifier rated in
the range of 100 � 200 watts per channel into 4 ohms. Higher power amplifiers can
be used with caution, but care must be taken to never exceed the 20/20 V2Os 150W
program/200W peak ratings. Event is not responsible for damage caused by
overpowering the speakerOs components. |
