Powerful, looks cool and heavy as duck.

Beautiful sounding speakers, I prefer the Opals over the Genelec 8040.

Most uncolored and accurate monitors out there.

Wow, bold statement! They're not cheap that's for sure. What monitors did you have (or try) before them?

Indeed. I've had a pair of Genelec 8030Bs for two years, and a pair of vxt 8s for about 5 months. The Opals are definitely a whole new level. The frequency response is like nothing I've ever heard. Low end presence is very clear, and the ability to do room correction right out of the box = "uncolored and accurate". As for the price? Worth every penny.

Heavy like planets, loud like thunder, powered by the Earths core!

We use Opals to test / monitor our software synths and plugins with the highest degree of accuracy.

The low end on these monitors blow the competition out the window. Powerful but controlled.

Description

The Event Opal is an eight-inch two-way powered studio monitor that has been designed from top to bottom to enable the reproduction of the most detailed dynamics while delivering incredibly low levels of distortion. Its woofer, tweeter, amplifier and cabinet all feature innovative and unique design and technology elements, combining to create one of the finest studio monitoring systems ever released, and certainly one of the most important studio recording advancements of the last decade.

The Opal's EX8 driver provides a raw response of 30Hz to 10kHz and a power handling of up to 1000 watts. A high-powered neodymium motor provides 36mm of linear excursion to the bespoke high-strength glass fiber polyamide cone. Event's X-Coil technology dramatically increases the driver speed and control, lowering distortion to levels previously unavailable in its class, and providing defined and accurate mid range reproduction as well as powerful, high speed bass.

The ULD1 tweeter combines ultra light and rigid beryllium-copper with an extremely powerful neodymium motor to produce unbelievable high frequency clarity. The active monitor is mounted in the Opal's innovative high frequency waveguide, which has been designed not only to provide excellent stereo imaging and a wide soundstage, but also to enable users to remove and rotate it for accurate reproduction in horizontal mounting applications.

The Event Opal's cabinet is molded from aluminium to provide strength and minimize resonance. Each surface is a combination of complex radii to eliminate any diffraction inside the speaker cabinet. The front mounted ports incorporate a variable impedance design that completely remove any port noise, and does not rely on room acoustics unlike rear porting solutions.
