Brings a whole new dimension to the direct field monitoring experience.

With the Event Studio Precision 8 Powered Monitors, the engineers at Event Electronics have come up with a totally new design that surpasses anything they've done to date. The Studio Precision 8 monitors bring a whole new dimension to the direct field monitoring experience.

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.

These are great. Iv gone from the krk rokit 5's, to the dynaudio bm6a's to these. These are LESS money than the dynaudio's and deliver a WAY more accurate mix and are WAY less fatiguing on the ear. These are worth every penny.

I use these everyday for mixing, tracking...even watching movies. I love these monitors they sound even BETTER than they look. My mixes have improved simply due to the accuracy of these monitors. If you can afford them there worth EVERY PENNY!

Although I hadn't had a pair of monitors designed for studio use before I acquired the SP-8A's, I have listened to a lot of speakers (NS-10's, Dynaudio, KRK, H8R24, ADAM, etc.) and I am quite impressed. The level of detail when critically listening has made these speakers a pleasure to listen to, and I have never been frustrated with thier translation charactaristics to other systems. Honestly, I had music playing while I was in another room and when I opened the door I thought there was a bass player several floors below my apartment who had heard my music and started playing in time. The low-frequency response is very natural (yet present and never woofy), a trait I have come to appreciate more and more after this purchase. I would highly recommend them, especially for their price point. I think they kick the H8R24's out in terms of detail, translation, and raw power. And they just sound really nice to listen to (more fun=better).

Stunningly Perfect

I don't normally write reviews but these monitors are *exceptional*. I've been in this business for a long time now, head engineer at Prosonic Studios, and I've finally found the holy-grail in *these* monitors!

Saying they're "rich" is an understatement. The resonance is as perfect as I've ever heard.

ASP8s are worth *every penny*. You don't know what music sounds like until you experience it on speakers like these.

Do yourself a favor and get 'em. (Even if you have to be patient and save a little more cash... DO IT!)

I moved up from Event TR6's to the SP8's and there is a world of difference. The TR6's are good back they lack the bottom end punch the SP8's have.
