  Characteristics

  The features: -on/off switch on back -Low Frequency Driver: TR8: 8" Mineral-Filled Polypropylene Cone -High Frequency Driver: TR8: 1" Ferrofluid-Cooled Natural Silk Dome -SPL Output (Per Side): TR8: >108dB -Frequency Response: TR8: 35Hz - 20kHz, ±3dB -Balanced XLR and 1/4" Inputs -Unbalanced RCA Input -Magnetically Shielded -Full Protection Circuitry -Adjustable Volume Control in the back I wish the on/off switch was on the front, so that I could turn them on more easily when I sit in front of the PC.
  
  
  
  Price paid: $250 each

  Sounds

  I did my research before I bought a pair of the speakers and it paid off. The sound quality is very good. Also the speakers are true reference so there's no bass boost; thus what you hear is what you get.

  Overall Opinion

  Very easy to use. Plug in and listen. It took me a while to setup the volume control on the speakers properly so that if the volume on my computer was turned up full blast the speakers would not kill my ears.
  
  
  
  They are studio monitors, so handle with care. No problems or repairs ever.
  
  
  
  They are speakers not women after all.

  Characteristics

  The features are nice, these are my first monitors and so far I have no complaints.
  
  
  
  Price paid
  
  
  
  $400

  Sounds

  Very nice for the price, only problem is when you blast them super loud they start to give in. And to do this you you must really play it extremely loud, which most of us wont do while we are producing.

  Overall Opinion

  Plug and play for the monitor speaker genre.
  
  
  
  no gigs , straight home studio production.
  
  
  
  Im very happy with the performance and the price. The watts could have been a little better though.

  Spooks's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Minitoring active studio. 35 Hz to 20 kHz
  
  I came almost by accident when I went to see a friend in a studio (in England) who had a pair of high-end Event (ASP8) Superb!
  
  I found mine on eBay.co.uk 225 pounds (gift)!
  
  I record mostly rock bands / pop.
  
  They are my clips Delta 1010s/Protools 7.4 M-Powered/Cubase4

  Sounds

  Trs good curve for the image frequencies and Stereo for the price there is no better.
  
  For 8 "trs are not big and yet there are really good bass (35Hz!)
  
  I have not tried the XL version which I think we give more bass (?)
  
  
  
  I worked with a pair of B2031A gave me a sore head each recording power!
  
  
  
  I can say that the Event TR8 clear sound across the spectrum.

  Overall Opinion

  I use them for a month (6 week growth, recording, or mixes)
  
  I tried Prodipe Pro8, TRUTH B2031A and Tannoy Reveal.
  
  Qualitprix level, the Event TR8 are really the best.
  
  I would do the same choice without hsitation.

  Nico53's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Bha ... of Active Monitors ... What normal ...
  
  4 balanced input on XLR or jack 6.35 mm.
  
  -10 unbalanced input on RCA connector.
  
  Power button on the back (which annoys me ... but hey, that's a detail ... especially the power LED is it before ... no coment ...)
  
  Level knob on the back ... again ... brief ... other more famous manufacturers make the same blunders and no one says anything ...
  
  I used to mix some demos at home, I acquired a pair recently and they rotate often enough right now ... in fact I have heard those of a friend often enough before, and I could compare them with the Fostex PM1, the tannoy, I never dared to put the ears in boxes in a Mackie or Alesis knows not their equipment in consoles or treatment, I was never convinced by these brands ... m'enfin ...
  
  Otherwise, I often mix with a pair of NS10 ... and it is downright exhausting ... very interesting because it magnified all the defects of a mix, but otherwise it is difficult to exploit in the mix ...

  Sounds

  I personally find very clear treble, midrange and also not using, we can work with long without a head full. for listening to a lot of music in different styles, it's very correct.
  
  A serious very well proportioned. unlike the Fostex PM1 home that I found downright typed hi-fi with blocked on the loudness function ON ... pitiful these boxes ...
  
  beautiful rendition of transitional ... little or no breath ... is just to connect to the real catch and do not worry ...
  
  
  
  For it must be against ear ... must be very demanding to mix it to what we do a good job ... everything sounds right in, both good and less ... you just reach a good result to be sure it will really sound, otherwise it will sound not that great or not at all on other forums ... but after all it's about more than ear-quality speakers that ...

  Overall Opinion

  I drooled to listen to a pair of Genelec 8040 home ... but my wallet was right to me ... I must say I'm not disappointed, the price / quality ratio is unbeatable ... a comfortable working that hard to find on other products in this range for the price ... a very good addition to the NS10 at least for me ...

  Grebz's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  I'm new in the field of monitoring speakers and have a long hsit before buying. I took the advice of ingnieurs sound of my acquaintance who told me the benefit of these speakers. I even took the chance to buy them by mail without having the same costs. C'tait certainly risky, but given the good that had told me, even when silent risk limit.
  
  What attracted me, apart from their sound quality intrinsque silent on their descent down the trs serious, they are a reasonable size and are capable of a dlivrer good sound power, too much so for me, but I will have the opportunity to use the fair value of another time.
  
  These are active monitors, so no need to amp. I use in my home studio (in my room, what).
  
  Word of warning: they are powerful enough to make your neighbors crazy if your apartment :-) This can be frustrating not being able to apprcier fair value if you have to use your tr s low volume. And believe me, no need to turn the volume off trs for a sound that dcoiffe ... In résumé they are not suitable for small pices. Below 20m, they are under-used. on the other hand, in a well insulated pice or big enough, that is happiness!

  Sounds

  Regarding the curve frequency drives ... I know. I am an amateur with amateur ears and the only thing technical I can say is they sound great.
  
  I use JBL stereo speakers paralllement branches on a Cambridge Audio amp of good quality, well there's no photo ... j'coute when the same thing on the couple and TR8 Cambridge / JBL, the sound is much better on the TR8.
  
  The grave is better restitus, treble is dtachent best, mdiums are beautiful and a Manir gnrale the stro is prcise, instruments ( or other sounds) differ much more from each other, the dtails stand out, while "pte" better batteries banging, swinging guitars and synths twinkle. I use a soundcard Edirol FA-101. On it are my branches TR8.
  
  This is not a conventional description trs, but that's what I hear with my ears myself. In short, I love.

  Overall Opinion

  I use these speakers since late September 2006, and the least I can say is that I used fully their prsence.
  
  I use it for various purposes: sr good mix, but also the cost of music, movies and even play on my PC. I find it well suited for any trs.
  
  I thought I should take some time to get used CHARACTERISTICS particulires of monitoring speakers since they are my Premire of the genre, but in fact the opposite occurs. Now I have some time for me to rhabituer sound of stereo speakers that I use, however, has always been. I finally discovering what "sound quality" means, and it's great fun, affordable price (553 euros a pair Thomann).

  NoBeat's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Frequency response 35Hz-20KHz
  
  Usage Mix Hip Hop / Jungle / Break Core
  
  Soundcraft Compact 10 + sound card RME Rpm: use turntables and mix prod computer music

  Sounds

  The bass is deep while remaining well defined, the mids / highs are clear without being aggressive. They are not tiring to the ears, may have mix all night (or day) without head like a watermelon!
  
  The stereo image is good if you are careful placement, the vent is located on the front which is handy.
  
  As for the frequency curve, is there a reference in this area? which speakers are telling the truth? I have a good ear? I will not go into Afirma bad, my ears are not measuring microphones and my brain is not an analysis software, all I can say is that my mixes sound good on strings, in my car, headphone, and I have never committed any major errors mix with these speakers

  Overall Opinion

  I use them for 5 months and I am very happy with my choice. I tried Alesis M1, M BX8 Audio, Behringer B2031A, KRK RP8, Yamaha MSP10, Mackie HR824.Parmis all these models the Event TR8 have the best value / price on it is not as good as the Yam and the Mackies, the price is not the same either, but they are not ashamed to deal with these models are worth more than double the price .
  
  I have paid 679 euros a pair in a store in Nantes (rue de Strasbourg).
  
  I would do without hesitation that choice, except perhaps with the TR8 XL which are the same and more powerful, but my neighbors yelling with those already there so I would wait to leave my apartment and have a house!

  Mister H-Pi's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  The series bass speaker identical tr8xl: 8 "Magnetically shielded mineral-filled polypropylene cone with hight temperature voice coil and damped rubber surround
  
  
  
  the same tweeter and tr8xl tr6 SERIES: 1 "Magnetically shielded natural silk dome with ferrofluid cooled voice coil
  
  
  
  The series rponse frquentielle identical tr8xl: 35Hz -> 20kHz + / - 3dB with ref = 500Hz.
  
  
  
  identical to the crossover tr8xl SERIES: 4th order active filter 2.6khz, unbalanced
  
  
  
  108 dB SPL suprieur
  
  
  
  XLR balanced input jack or
  
  ENTERED asymtriques rca
  
  
  
  power button on / off on each speaker
  
  
  
  knob of sensibilt:-20dB 0dB
  
  
  
  Size: Large!

  Sounds

  The curve frequency drives me seems neutral but I'm not in a fine to judge its quality.
  
  Stereo image is good, the sound is clear and prcis across the spectrum.
  
  I would note a slight peak to 2kHz. respects the dynamics is minimum requirement to send a signal!
  
  Compared to its small Genelec 1029a I think we found the same in the high performance with a little less agressivit.
  
  The bass is both deep and prcises.
  
  I would add that these are speakers that are well worth the mixes of default (in my case)
  
  rpartition of bad frquences lebas in the spectrum, or phasing frquence prponderante, stereo image imbalance ..

  Overall Opinion

  I have for 1 year and 2 months, and in fact I am aware of how lucky I am when I go to the other .. : Op, you get used to quickly ...
  
  I have had for 750 euros including postage in Germany. At that price I voice the little competition. there must be twice to advance to level suprieur (Mackie and Dynaudio)
  
  But I remember having made mixes rotten on NS-10 because I did not know.
  
  Tr8 the offer restitution frquence allowing work! Just! and that's just what I wanted.
  
  Well I think it said they lack a little low, and suddenly I tend to surmixer ... c but above that the costs of lambda pelo surcharges are low.

  karlos78's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Active speaker 35Hz-20kHz monitoring, volume and start at the back, jack Neutrik XLR connector
  
  and RCA, led to the front
  
  event at the front for placement closer to the wall (AC m'arrage J have a small piece)
  
  for any use (sound, mixing)

  Sounds

  I have no schema provided, but the response curve seems to me quite correct
  
  very beautiful image stereo, clear treble and bass and precise non-invasive (no need to have j loudness or other crap like that, they are monitors
  
  we can work a small amount no surprise when we commend the sauce (I think the speakers who have a tendency over compress)

  Overall Opinion

  I have been a year and a half
  
  what I love for me is that c c is very good
  
  I try alesis, greatly disappointed, even in low slobbering plugging events blah but it's better still, the Genelec, but too much flateuse and too expensive for me plus 2 or 3 other than that bastard seller wanted Fourges me, c is fashionable, c is the new reference, blah blah blah, but my choices were already made
  
  I'm not ready to let go and if I had to change for ca aps8 I would cross or BM15 but hey it is in the same category in that price is in pesos for his widely
  
  quality level for me is much more expensive type more to get better
  
  I understand that this mark down yet very good (20/20 for example) and little known, c is on that should not go listen to shops on Saturday in rush hour with the only source audio mp3 player
  
  j 0 will go to put a point to alesis that resonate much more that anything else take tr5
  
  I do not bump event (c is a shame) but it is part of the little known brands that are doing good stuff that I apreciated

  zédlamix's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Active speaker with a range of 35Hz to 20kHz
  
  an LED indicating the ignition and a knob-20dB up to max
  
  Neutrik connectors
  
  for any use made of the mix

  Sounds

  No table provided on the spectrum of the speakers, but c is as neutral as speakers twice the price ateignant
  
  nice stereo image j and for once not have the impression of having a subwoofer (I refer to alesis active)
  
  a clear and precise on the entire spectrum with a good dynamic

  Overall Opinion

  I use them for 6 months more
  
  what I love: the bass are not set too far forward, jy spend hours and even nights and j in the resort with a smile
  
  I tested for 2 weeks and I've alesis also able to compare them with other models in stores and conclusion for me to have as good a sound with speakers of other he must pay the double price
  
  I blame their c nya that there are no switches for setting the following environment so be careful with their investments
  
  great value for money with the experience I do it again the same choice with eyes closed and ears mouths
