Thank you for purchasing the new JBL EON!

More than just another great JBL sound system, the new EON600 is a true step forward in technology developed specifically to
deliver the best sound possible regardless of its application. Completely rethinking how truly good an affordable self-contained,
portable PA system can be, JBL engineers purposely designed and built the EON600 from the ground up featuring JBL’s
advanced waveguide technology, JBL designed and manufactured transducers, and convenient, wireless remote control of its
onboard DSP EQ parameters via Bluetooth.
This total redesign of the EON platform leverages the latest technologies in cabinet materials, acoustic science, transducer
design and user friendliness that delivers the extraordinary quality of a high-end studio monitor in a fully professional, highly
flexible, easy to use, portable system for today’s working musicians and sound providers.
With proper care your EON Series speakers should provide you with many years of flawless performance, and are flexible
enough to be a part of your sound reinforcement system even as it grows in scope.

PURPOSEFUL PRODUCT DESIGN
Portability made easy
Enclosure designs have been optimized for ideal acoustic resonance taking advantage of injection molding techniques and
mechanical shaping of the enclosures. This results in tremendous increases in cabinet volumes which enable better acoustic
performance while maintaining the same footprint. Four intelligently positioned handles make the 600 easy to carry and move
around. Integrated hardware mounts, designed into the enclosures, allow each model to be flown when required. And indexed
feet molded into the enclosures allow for convenient storage and transport, secure stacking for stage monitor and traditional
stand up configurations, and unique acoustic configurations.

TYPICAL TYPICAL TYPICAL

EON615 EON612 EON610
The EON600’s extraordinary performance results from a breakthrough approach to waveguide design. JBL engineers examined
the radiation characteristics of the EON’s high and low frequency drivers at 36 different points employing JBL’s exclusive, state
of the art measurement techniques, then designed individual waveguides for both components that control the sound radiation
at the high frequencies, the crossover point and at the low frequencies. Special fluting is designed into the structure that guides
the frequencies through the full range of the system. The result is consistent response throughout its 90 degree coverage
pattern. The quality and consistency between on axis and off axis response delivers uniform coverage and high intelligibility
throughout the coverage area, which means the EON600’s smooth, transparent sound is the same for the entire audience.

LOUDSPEAKER PLACEMENT AND SUSPENSION
Suspended
Floor Monitor Floor Standing Tripod Stand Stacking Pole Mount
The following guidelines will help you achieve optimum sound wherever you use your EON ® loudspeakers:
Raise the speakers as high as possible.

For best results try to get the high frequency horn at least 2 to 4 feet above the heads of the audience. If the speakers are too
low, the people in the back of the audience will not receive the best quality sound.
Place the speakers between the microphones and the audience.

Feedback occurs when the microphones pick up sound from the speakers and “feed” the sound back through the sound
system. If space is limited, point the speakers away from the microphones to reduce feedback.
Locate the speakers away from turntables.

Low-frequency feedback occurs when the output of the speaker is picked up by the tone arm of the turntable and is re-
amplified. A heavy, solid turntable base and shock mounting can also reduce this type of feedback in DJ applications.
Use more speakers in large or highly reverberant spaces.

Spreading speakers throughout these spaces will produce much better sound than trying to compensate with loudness level or
equalization. For very long distances, the use of another set of speakers with time delay is recommended.
Stand speakers upright for PA - Tilt the speakers back on the side for stage monitoring. Upright stance provides even coverage
over a wide area. EON speakers are also designed with two slanted positions for stage monitoring applications.
