Varebeskrivelse
Stand: Brugt - men i god stand
Sælger mine dejlige Event Opal studio monitors. De lyder virkelig godt, og særlig i bunden.
From Sound On Sound:
Like the best hi‑fi speakers, the Opals deliver their best when they've been allowed to warm up for half an hour or more, after which time the sound takes on a slightly smoother and better integrated character — although that's not to say that they sound in any way bad when first switched on. When fed with high‑quality material from a known audio CD, the first thing you notice is the lack of upper‑mid coloration that can make a monitor sound squawky or over‑presumptuous. Instead, the mid‑range is laid out clearly, revealing things that other speakers might miss, so when you feed in a mix that has problems, they show up very obviously. The low end is deep and powerful, but at the same time very tightly controlled: when playing a damped kick drum, you don't get that resonant overhang that afflicts many more budget speakers, where the port is tuned to a relatively high Q to hype up kick drum and bass sounds. In this respect, there are parallels with high‑end speakers from the likes of ATC and PMC.
The stereo imaging is exceptionally clear and wide, with a solid sense of centre‑panned sounds as well as those things off to the side, and transient detail is rendered very precisely and smoothly. Some 'ultra accurate' speakers attract criticism for sounding a little uninteresting, but that's not the case with the Opals: they just act as a clean window into the mix, so if you have a lively‑sounding mix, it will still sound lively played over the Opals. Indeed, I'd love to have a pair of these in the lounge for serious music listening.
I'm impressed: I can't remember when I last enjoyed working with new monitors as much as I did with these, and there was nothing about the sound that felt wrong or out of place. Inevitably, a high‑end speaker costs high‑end money, but even so, the Opals cost less than the monitors with which they stand comparison, and they should appeal to the more serious private studio owner as well as to professional studios — and possibly even to mastering engineers.

From Tape Op:
Working on my own music from start to finish with just the pair of Opals, this is where I also started to realize how comfortable the speakers were to work with. Fatigue wasn’t an issue at all, and I felt like the fine art of carefully placing all the elements in a mix was made simple due to the accuracy of the Opal. The value of immediately hearing where new elements sit properly can’t be overstated. For anybody making music or involved in critical listening, this is a huge part of the game — putting ideas down and knowing they’ll translate well the way you’re hearing them. I’m lucky enough to be able to bounce between a lot of different monitors. My usual checklist of alternate speakers includes Yamaha NS-10M, Adam S3-A, Genelec 8240A, JBL 3678, as well as a few others — oh, and I can’t forget about iPod earbuds (including the new super-upper-midrangey version) — and my Opal mixes translated really well across all.
