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.
Mount the speakers at ear level, facing slightly inward, so that the acoustic axis (see previous page) directly
faces the listening position. When oriented this way, the listener is in the “sweet 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 absolutely necessary.
While not ideal, 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 acoustic axis directly facing you.
It is important to note that the listening space has a large effect on the performance of speakers, particularly
the low frequency response. It is best to try your monitors in a variety of positions to achieve optimum results.
The speakers will ideally be placed in a symmetrical room, with each speaker at an equal distance to its closest
respective wall. As the 2030 uses convection for cooling, it is essential that you leave adequate space around
each speaker for ventilation. Please keep this in mind when mounting the speakers in a cabinet or similar
closed space.
When placement near room boundaries causes inconsistencies in the bass response, it is always best to fi rst
move the speakers to a more ideal position, however where this is not possible, the variable Low frequency
shelf control (LF SHELF) can be used to compensate. There is also a variable high frequency shelf control,
which is useful for correcting overly bright or dull sounding spaces. For the best speaker performance, It is
always advisable to fi rst acoustically treat any listening space when problems arise.
