DISC Event Opal Active Studio Monitor, Single Overview
The Event Opal is an eight-inch, two-way studio monitor, designed to enable the reproduction of the most detailed dynamics whilst delivering incredibly low levels of distortion. The woofer, tweeter and amplifier all feature revolutionary technological developments, having been completely re-designed for this speaker, which helps to create one of the finest studio monitors available. The Event Opal features an 8-inch main driver and beryllium copper tweeter, giving a frequency response of 30Hz to 22kHz, with a power handling of 1000 watts.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionThe Event Opal monitor is the product of years of research and development, producing a speaker with the power, clarity and frequency response of a large three-way unit, but in a compact two-unit cabinet.
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. It 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 Opal's cabinet is moulded from aluminum to provide strength and minimise resonance. Each surface is a combination of complex radii to eliminate any diffraction inside the 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.
