INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing Event Electronics™ Project
Studio direct field monitors. Before you proceed, please take a minute to read
this manual and familiarize yourself with the product’s features, set-up and use.

touching the exposed speaker elements. Do not expose the rear panel controls,
connectors, or the speaker elements to moisture or chemicals.
either speaker. This is the common “equal length triangle” rule for speaker
placement shown in Figure 1.
The AC mains fuse is internal and serviceable by a qualified technician. It will
only open if there is another problem.
Mix at reasonable levels to protect your speakers and your hearing. Refer
service to qualified personnel.
BLOCK DIAGRAMS
FIGURE 1. THE PRIME LISTENING POSITION OR SWEET SPOT.
THE DISTANCE BETWEEN EACH SPEAKER AND THE MONITORING
POSITION SHOULD BE EQUAL.
Notice that Figure 1 also shows the speaker cabinets turned inward
directly facing the listening position. This puts you 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 necessary. Finally, if you
must mount the speakers substantially above or below ear level, then you will
also need to tilt the cabinets downward or upward as well to keep them directly
facing you.
For close-in, personal monitoring situations with the PS5, use the tilt
stand if necessary to raise the radiation main axis.
Once you start using your Event monitors, you may find it helpful to
move around in their soundfield to locate their best position in your
environment, but if you follow the equal distance, ear level, face-on rules,
you’ve already optimized their position for a single user in most situations.

CONNECTIONS AND OPERATION
Please refer to Figure 2

Place your monitors on a stable surface at about ear level. A typical
location would be slightly behind and to either side of a small console. The
distance between the monitors should equal the distance from the listener to
balanced or unbalanced. The LINE 2 INPUT connector is hardwired in
parallel with the LINE 1 INPUT connector, so either may be used as an input
or a pass-through connection. Input specifications apply to both inputs.

LINE 1 INPUT This jack accepts a ¼” TRS connector, wired either
balanced or unbalanced.
For balanced wiring, a 3-conductor ¼" TRS plug is necessary. See
the INPUT CONNECTIONS wiring chart below or on the amplifier
panel.
Unbalanced wiring works with either a 2 or 3-conductor ¼” TRS
connector. A 2-conductor ¼" TS plug automatically grounds the
minus signal input, whereas a 3-conductor TRS plug wired
unbalanced provides the option of leaving the minus input open or
grounded. We recommend that you ground the unused input.
The LINE 1 INPUT connector is hardwired in parallel with the LINE 2
INPUT connector, so either may be used as an input or a pass-through
connection. Input specifications apply to both inputs.

INPUT SENSITIVITY This control has a 20dB range and compensates for
different input signal levels. If too much input signal is present, the amplifiers
may overload, in which case the green LED at the front of the monitor will
flash. With the INPUT SENSITIVITY control at maximum, 0.9V RMS input
will produce full amplifier output.
The PS5 monitor has an additional front panel VOLUME CONTROL(not shown)
that effectively works in series with the rear panel INPUT SENSITIVITY
control. The VOLUME CONTROLis useful for quick, uncalibrated adjustments
from the front. With a full input signal applied, turn the front panel VOLUME
CONTROLto maximum. Starting from minimum, increase the INPUT
SENSITIVITY to your maximum achievable output level preference. The front
panel volume control will then attenuate from that operating point.

POWER SWITCH 1 = ON 0 = OFF
When amplifier power is on, the green LED at the front of the monitor will
illuminate.
POWER CONNECTOR This connector accepts the detachable linecord. Use
the linecord supplied with your monitors and make sure it is fully seated into
the Power Inlet connector. For safety reasons, do not attempt to defeat the
linecord’s ground connection. The AC mains fuse is internal.
