Block Diagrams

EON 610, EON 612, and EON 615 Block Diagram

This diagram illustrates the signal path for the EON 610, 612, and 615 models. Audio inputs (CH1, CH2) are processed through gain controls (LEVEL 1, LEVEL 2) and then enter the DSP (Digital Signal Processor). The DSP includes EQ+, EQ, HPF (High Pass Filter), and LIMIT functions. The EQ presets (MAIN, MONITOR, SUB, SPEECH) are selectable. The signal then passes through a master volume control and is outputted. A THRU output is also available.

EON 618S Block Diagram

This diagram shows the signal flow for the EON 618S subwoofer. Inputs (CH1, CH2) are processed via gain controls (LEVEL 1, LEVEL 2) and then enter the DSP. The DSP includes EQ, EQ+, and LIM (Limit) functions, with selectable crossover frequencies (80 Hz, 100 Hz, 120 Hz). The signal is then routed through a master volume control and outputted. A THRU output is also provided.

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.

Coverage

EON600 Family Coverage Patterns Compared to a Typical Speaker

Diagrams show coverage patterns:

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.

Trouble Shooting

Symptom Likely Cause What to do
No sound Speaker not connected to active AC power Verify that speaker is connected and that the circuit is on.
No sound, speaker is connected to working AC power but won't come on. Power not switched on Switch on power and verify that power LED is on.
No sound. Speaker comes on. Speaker power cable is faulty or improperly connected.
  • Re-seat the power cable at both ends.
  • Substitute a known-good power cable.
No sound with microphone connected directly to the MIC/ LINE input. Signal source (mixer, instrument, etc.) is not sending.
  • Check VU meters on the source mixer.
  • Verify that the tape or CD is playing.
  • Use headphones to verify that the instrument is actually sending an audio signal.
Signal sounds distorted and very loud, PEAK light is lit most of the time. Faulty cables and connections
  • Disconnect and re-seat signal cables.
  • Replace suspected cable with a known-good cable.
Signal sounds distorted even at moderate volumes, LIMIT light is not lit. Microphone requires phantom power The EON does not supply phantom power. Switch to a dynamic microphone, use a battery powered microphone (if possible), use an external phantom power supply for condenser type microphones.
Lots of hiss in the sound, the mixer controls are at very low settings. Excessive input signal, trying to exceed the capabilities of the speakers
  • Reduce the output level of the source.
  • Turn down the level controls on the speaker.
  • Use additional EON speakers.
Noise or hiss heard at output. Mixer or other source is overdriven Review the Owner's Manual for your mixer and adjust controls as needed. Input sensitivity (gain), Channel faders, Master faders. Once this is done, review the instructions in the Quick Start section of this guide.
Hum or Buzz that increases or decreases when the mixer level controls are moved. Improper gain structure
  • Make sure that the MIC/LINE switch is in the LINE (disengaged) position.
  • Reduce the level settings at speaker. Review the Owner's Manual for your mixer and adjust controls as needed.
  • Input sensitivity (gain), Channel faders, Master faders.
Hum or Buzz Noisy source device Disconnect the devices that are connected to your speaker one at a time. If the noise goes away, the problem is with the source or the connecting cable.
Improper A/C ground or faulty equipment connected to mixer input Disconnect or mute channels one at a time to isolate the problem. Refer to the owner's manual of the faulty equipment for troubleshooting help.
Faulty cable between source equipment and mixer Substitute a known-good cable for the suspected faulty cable.
Improper A/C grounding, ground loops
  • 'Lift' the audio ground by using an XLR/F to XLR/M adapter on one end.
  • Re-route audio cables away from AC power and lighting cables.
Excessively long unbalanced cable run
  • Use the balanced outputs (if available) of your mixer or source equipment to drive your EON speakers.
  • Use a "DI" (direct injection) box to convert your unbalanced equipment output to a balanced output.
Improper system gain structure Reduce the INPUT level controls and increase the output level of your source devices.
