JBL EON1500 2-Way PA Cabinet (225 Watts, 1x15 in.)

Do you consider yourself a live sound ninja? Do you want to engage in audio guerrilla warfare? Do you like to strike hard and fast with maximum efficiency, leaving your joy-dazed audience wondering how in the world they were able to lose themselves so completely in the music? Check out the JBL EON1500 1x15 PA speaker. It's lightweight, sets up quickly, and packs an impressive wallop. Plus, it's covert-ops-black. Sweet!

Quick And Stealthy Setup
At only 38 pounds and sporting a convenient handle, the EON1500 is the ultimate "strike-anywhere" speaker. Sit them on the floor, or mount them quickly on a speaker pole with their built-in mounting socket. Based off of JBL's wildly popular EON self-powered speakers, the EON1500 employs the same crystal clear sound and rugged build in a package that foregoes the power amp for live sound engineers who prefer the flexibility of a passive enclosure. Speaking of flexible, these guys double easily as front of house (FOH) PA speakers or no-nonsense stage monitors. With its durable co-polymer housing and sturdy metal grille protecting the main woofer, these JBLs can withstand the abuses of the most raucous bands and still offer years of dedicated, gut-kicking service.

A Partner You Can Rely On
When it's mission critical, your equipment is either your best ally. . . or your weakest link. But you'll have a partner you can trust in the JBL EON1500. This little dynamo has been designed with a ton of safety features to keep it -- and your gigs -- running smoothly. With 225 Watts of headroom (and a peak handling of up to 900 watts), you'll be able to run your EONs loud and distortion-free, prolonging the life of the speaker elements. The titanium-diaphragm compression driver is liquid cooled, so it stays chill under pressure. For when the going gets really rough, the high frequency driver is protected by JBL's proprietary SonicGuard circuitry for discrete protection from overpowering.

Which Is All Well And Good, But How Does It Sound?
Just take a look at our customer feedback at the right. Do words like "awesome" and "excellent" do it for you? Then how about the name "JBL"? They've been in the speaker business since the late 1940s, when they introduced some of the first self-powered studio monitors. The JBL brand has graced some of the best professional sound equipment ever built, from movie theatre systems to world-class studio control rooms to arenas around the world, and you can bet that everything JBL stamps their logo on has to live up to a formidable history. Do the JBL EON1500 PA speakers live up to that legacy? In a word: absolutely.

So when its go time and your professional reputation is on the line, you'll want to go into battle with equipment that's been field-tested all over the world, and in the most extreme theaters of operation. The JBL EON1500 fits that bill nicely, and at zZounds, it won't cost you many bills to own.
