"A Blessing and a Curse"

Feature:
While very well made, they are miserable to transport. I bought the expensive extra bags from JBL and the bottom feet(?) put a hole in the bag on the first usage, there is not a single flat surface so forget about carts etc. JBL needs to design an AFFORDABLE case that is flat on every side so these become easy to transport. I love how they sound, but utter expletives every time I have to move them.

Quality:
JBL is the best period!

Value:
They are expensive, miserable to carry around, and sound wonderful!

Desirability:
They look wonderful on paper...

Sound:
I am using these as my amp for the new Nord C1 organ, and they sound absolutely great!

Ease of Use:
Once you have schlepped them they are extremely easy to use and versatile.

Support:
I assume they have good support, and I hope I never need to use it LOL!

Overall:
I would consider a speaker of equal price and quality that is easier to move around.

"Good rugged quality with great sound."

Feature:
The least useful feature is that the shape is hard to handle and move on a cart.

Quality:
I carry mine in the back of a van where they rattle around and stuff happens. They are holding up really well and they still look good.

Value:
I think the price is good and you get what you pay for especially in this case.

Desirability:
Are you kidding me - I don't get turned on by furniture either but it's really a great addition.

Sound:
The JBL EOIN has a fantastic sound which is it's strongest point. I own two but usually only need one.

Ease of Use:
I find my Eon's to be easy to use.

Support:
no problems so I haven't had to deal with the company.

Overall:
I would replace my EON's but I am always looking for something lighter and easier to set up but there is a weight to quality ratio. Heavier is generally better in music but these are a great improvement over just a few years ago.

The world's most popular powered speaker - Updated!
JBL introduced the first generation of EON speakers in 1995. Since that time, over 300,000 EON's have been used in clubs, coffee shops, large halls, and outdoor venues around the world. It is the all-time best selling powered-speaker on the planet. The second-generation EON G2 series adds more power and improved versatility to an already proven product.

Even more power
One of the most significant enhancements over the original EON is the increased power stage. EON15 G2's double the power of their predecessor with 300 Watts going to the low frequency driver. A dedicated 100 Watts feeds the high-frequency driver, as well. You'll have all the headroom necessary to get that little extra boost in volume when the crowd is really digging your set. There's no fear of driving the speaker too hard; all your tone will come through clean and distortion-free.

All-new cooling system
More power means more heat buildup, especially in a small enclosure. JBL's Thermomaster management system helps get rid of the excess heat while keeping the EON15 G2 compact and lightweight. Large heatsinks are too heavy and onboard fans are too noisy, so JBL engineers had to come up with a new cooling method. They decided, since the whole point of a speaker driver is to move air, why not use that principle to their advantage? The power amp is directly connected to an all-aluminum baffle, which provides structural support and draws heat away to special fins inside the acoustic ports. As air travels through the ports and across the fins, it naturally dissipates the heat, just like blowing on a spoonful of soup. When you crank up the volume, you're pushing more air. The heat just floats away on the breeze!

Improved mixing control
For singer/songwriters, folk duos, and other small groups, the EON15 G2's improved onboard mixer puts all your sounds together in a portable PA system. Input 1 is a professional-quality XLR connection with mic/line selection. Inputs 2 and 3 are 1/4-inch TRS connections that add keyboards, guitars, drum machines, or CD/MP3 backing tracks to your vocals. Individual mixing controls and a two-band EQ let you blend and polish all the tracks as they travel to the speakers. With an EON15 G2 in one hand, a microphone in the other, and a guitar slung across your back, you're ready to play anywhere.

Loop/mix output
In addition to the input mixer, EON15 G2 speakers have a balanced XLR loop/mix output to build a bigger system, should you need one. Let's say you've been asked to open for a band that has its own PA system. You've got vocals, guitar, and a drum machine, but the PA only has one unused channel. No problem. Tweak your sound using the EON G2's mixer, then push it all out to the PA's free channel. No one has to unplug or re-EQ, and everybody sounds their best. You can also use the loop/mix output to daisy-chain multiple EON speakers together. Use one as a monitor and a second as the front-of-house speaker, or use two EON's with a stereo effects pedal for ping-pong delay on your guitar. Since each cabinet is powered, you don't lose any volume when adding additional speakers.

Lightweight portability
At just 46 pounds, the EON15 G2 is easy to transport to any gig. The 15-inch woofer's neodymium magnet provides high magnetic strength with less weight than traditional woofers, for a truly portable PA system. The cabinet is made with a new copolymer material to further reduce weight while staying durable and scuff-resistant. It's easy to carry, easy to store, and easy to set up. Working musicians get reliable, professional performance for years to come.
The first product available in the new EON G2 line is the EON15 G2, with more than twice the power of the original EON 15P!

Creating a new benchmark for portable powered speaker systems, JBL is announcing the launch of the second generation of its famed EON Series: the EON G2 Powered Speaker System. The next wave of EON systems build upon the high level of performance that has come to be expected from JBL EON speakers.

The flagship of the new series is the JBL EON15 G2, delivering 300 watts of power to a 15 in. neodymium Differential Drive LF driver. The driver boasts a dual neodymium magnet and dual voice coil motor that efficiently delivers high output from a lightweight woofer. Meanwhile, the HF amplifier delivers 100 watts of power to a 1.75 in. titanium diaphragm compression driver with Ferro-fluid cooling.

With more than 300,000 systems already being used in applications from live sound reinforcement, speech and vocals to music playback in entertainment, A/V and institutional environments, the JBL EON system is firmly entrenched as the industry leader in powered portable speaker systems.

Versatility
EON's input section allows both mic and line level inputs. In addition, the new Loop/Mix output allows you to daisy-chain EON speakers or send signal directly to the main PA.

Performance
JBL's exclusive Neodymium Differential Drive? transducer provides superior audio performance while reducing weight.

Innovation
JBL's exclusive Thermomaster? technology prevents thermal problems often exhibited in competitive products and eliminates the need for cooling fans and ugly external heatsinks, even at high volumes. Here's how Thermomaster technology works: EON's single piece cast aluminum baffle is thermally coupled to the heat producing elements (voice-coils and amplifier). The woofer produces air movement, which flows through the finned ports and dissipates the heat.

More Power
With the EON15 G2's additional power, you get cleaner, clearer sound at any volume. The low frequency has more than doubled to 300 watts and 100 watts are dedicated to the high frequency horn.

History
There are over 300,000 EON speakers being used. It IS the industry standard.
