For the past 14 years JBL has led the portable PA market
with EON, the best selling powered speaker in professional
audio history. Now a new generation emerges to continue
the class-leading traditions of design, performance, and
quality. Introducing EON, The Next Generation.
Featuring three models, the EON500 series delivers more
power, portability, and versatility than any other speaker in
its class, raising the bar dramatically for advanced powered
loudspeaker systems, while retaining that signature JBL sound
Representing the next generation of its...
eaking and industry-standard EON® series portable loudspeakers, today JBL is introducing the EON500 series. The unveiling of the EON500 series self-powered and lightweight speakers immediately raises the bar in the category of molded powered loudspeakers in all aspects, from industrial design to sonic performance, integrated utility and portability
Tour sound DNA comes directly from industry-leading VERTEC® systems in the form of JBL's exclusive Differential Drive® technology, to ensure EON has more power and less weight. These patented low-frequency drivers use neodymium magnets and dual voice coils to perform better than conventional designs with less distortion and at a fraction of the weight. JBL’s next generation neodymium compression drivers deliver stunningly accurate high frequencies through a new 1" exit design
Powered by Crown
JBL and Crown® collaboration results in designs of unmatched integration and efficiency. At the heart of the 515's massive output is a Crown Class-D amplifier that delivers high volume, low distortion and continuous performance with superb headroom and power to spare
Built-in Mixers
The innovative built-in 3 channel mixer all but eliminates the need for additional mixing components and is one of the keys to the EON's unmatched popularity. The 500 series simple, effective and professional plug-and-play architecture appeals to any artist that has to set up quickly and deliver professional sound in a hurry. Line level and direct microphone input capability, preset EQ settings for vocals, instruments and speech, plus a clever mix/loop function for adding additional EONs or sending submixes, ensure the 500 series delivers unmatched simplicity coupled with plenty of expansion capability
Coverage
JBL is constantly advancing waveguide technology to ensure that consistent, balanced sound reaches all of your audience clearly and intelligibly. The Next Generation EON features a new 100º H x 60º V asymmetrical design guaranteeing an exceptionally wide coverage pattern and lower distortion
Portability
EON is synonymous with portability: One person can easily lift, load, and mount an EON system virtually anywhere. Deep-welled, full-size handles feature ergonomically designed grip points, while balanced weight distribution and composite enclosures make EON truly one of the lightest and easiest sound reinforcement systems to transport and setup.
Versatile
EON's flexible mounting capability, awesome power and extreme light weight set the new standard as the performance do-it-all system for gigging musicians, touring bands and mobile DJ's. Main or monitor, pole or stand mounted, and even flown, EON is right at home regardless of the venue or application. Audience expectations are high, and EON delivers.
Performance refined
The EON515 offers the highest power-to-weight ratio of anything in its class with 450 Watts of performance driving power at a feathery 32.5 pounds. For an even more compact package, the EON510 delivers with 280 Watts of power in a gravity-defying 17 pound package. Power has never been more portable. Extend the low frequency performance of all EON systems with the EON518S. This subwoofer features an 18" JBL Differential Drive® low frequency driver with a massive 500 Watts of power in a compact package that is nearly half the weight of the competition.
Proven reliability
JBL has drawn from over 60 years of world-class speaker design to develop the latest durable lightweight technologies. In addition to the legendary performance of JBL transducers, the new EON series incorporates special limiter circuitry that will protect the electronic components when driven hard, rigorously tested by the world-famous 100-hour torture test. Covered by a full metal grille with protective backing fitted to a robust composite shell, you can assure EON will stand up to the rigors of road abuse and deliver the performance you need. Every time
