SIGNAL INPUT The 2030 requires the input of an industry standard XLR style cannon jack. GAIN Allows for modifi cation of the input sensitivity, from -12dB to +12dB in regards to the reference sensitivity of 0.775v RMS. The default setting is 0.
MAINS VOLTAGE SELECTOR Please note, that as the 2030 is not fi xed to operate in the voltage range of the region that it is sold in, extra care must be taken before connecting the mains power.
We understand that you may be eager to unpack your new Event 2030s, but please be careful when unpacking the speakers. Your new studio monitors have been carefully inspected, tested and packed by our quality control engineers prior to shipping. Please take care at each stage of unpacking.
Before you connect and turn on your Event 2030 speakers, ensure the Gain level on the rear of the speaker is set to the lowest setting and the HF shelf and LF shelf dials are both set to zero. If too much input signal is present, the amplifiers may overload.

2030 acoustic axis The 2030 is an active 3-way speaker. This means that monitor placement slightly differs from a 2-way system. The acoustic axis of the 2030 is located at the point directly between the tweeter and midrange driver. Please see the diagram below for the acoustic axis point.
The Event 2030 have been designed to be mounted horizontally. This means that each speaker will be a mirror image of its partner. To ensure the most accurate frequency response, the speakers should be placed in the correct left and right positions, with the tweeter / midrange driver assembly facing inward as shown below.
