JBL EON 15P
This 2-way 15 in. PA cabinet is internally biamp powered. The biamp design provides dedicated power amps for the low frequency 15 in. driver and the 15 in. compression driver. The lows are driven by 125 watts and the highs by 50 watts. By separating the power amps the cabinet is more efficient and sound quality is more precise. This cabinet features a high-output, neodymium 15 in. driver with a 1.75 in. voice coil. This contributes to its light weight and the portability that everyone loves about the EON line.

"JBL EON's Rock"
Feature:
Plug 'em in and go. I noticed that several reviews said they don't have a "crossover". They DO have an active crossover and are bi-amped. The input can be set to mic or line level. Just one speaker and a mic makes a darn fine outdoor PA for things like company picnics or protest rallies.

Quality:
The do tend to get scuffed up when you haul them in and out lots of times, however, that's just normal wear and tear. These things are built like Sherman Tanks.

Value:
You get a whole lot of bang for the buck with these speakers. They are impressivly loud for the power rating and just have a great sound. The active nature of these speakers makes them sound better than any passive speaker.

Desirability:
I'm sure there are better speakers out there, but not for the money. The JBL's are half price of the Mackies, EV's, etc. I compared side by side with the active Peavey 15's and the JBL's were much clearer and had more thump.

Sound:
I have had my JBL Eons for many years and they just keep on pumping out great sound. I have used them as PA speakers, monitors, etc and they are the best sounding speakers PA speakers I have ever owned. I traded in a nice pair of Bose 802II's for them and have never looked back. With the Bose speakers you had to carry a processor and an amp, run cables to the processor, then cables from the processor to the amp, then cables from the amp to the speakers. With these, it's mixer to speakers baby. Yeah!! I did sound for a large convention in Nashville recently. When I talked to the lady who was running the convention she told me there would be about 300 people. When I arrived to set up, the room was HUGE and I wasn't sure my single pair of JBL Eon's would be up to the task. Fortunately it was a seminar, they wouldn't have held up with a rock band in that size room. But it sounded excellent and the last day they had a bluegrass band come and perform and the jbl's worked great. The seminar lady was so impressed that she aske me to go with her to California to do her next seminar. The Bose 802's would never have handled that situation.

Ease of Use:
Plug and GO.

Support:
I have used JBL support in the far distant past and they came through like champs. I have never had so much as a hicup from my EON's and have never needed support.

Overall:
This is a great set of speakers for and average musician, DJ or small to medium house sound system.

"Very loud powerful speakers with a good range"
Feature:
1 XLR input only - no 1/4 balanced phone jacks. There is no mixer or cross-over knobs - so unless you have a powered mixer with good EQ, the sound can be a little flat

Quality:
very solid equipment - no distortion...this speaker is Painfully **loud**. I have read reviews stating these are adequate for small venues...I think these would be adequate for large venues and outstanding for small venues.

Value:
Given that the going price for these are $400 - the value is wonderful - no EQ or mixer or multiple channels...but loud powerful sound for the money

Sound:
I bought these(2) to be live Keyboard powered amps. For individual sounds the speakers are great. For orchestral mixes, the bass is a little muddy and the mids are flat. The highs are ok but the 16khz top end really cuts a lot of the dynamic content of orchestral mixes

Support:
Have not needed support

Overall:
These PA's will be great for portable gigs for a long time
