  • High-quality LF driver design
  • Built-in mixer
  • Portable and versatile
  • Reliable

High-quality LF driver design
JBL's exclusive Differential Drive technology gives EON speakers more power and less weight. These patented low-frequency drivers use neodymium magnets and dual voice coils to perform better than conventional designs with less distortion and at a fraction of the weight. JBL's next generation neodymium compression drivers deliver stunningly accurate high frequencies through its 1" exit design.

Built-in mixer
The innovative built-in 3 channel mixer all but eliminates the need for additional mixing components and is one of the keys to the EON's popularity. The 500 series' simple, effective and professional plug-and-play architecture appeals to any artist who has to set up quickly and deliver professional sound in a hurry. Line level and direct microphone input capability, preset EQ settings for vocals, instruments, and speech, plus a handy mix/loop function for adding additional EONs or sending submixes, ensure the 500 series delivers unmatched simplicity coupled with plenty of expansion capability.

Portable and versatile
EON is synonymous with portability: One person can easily lift,load,and mount an EON system virtually anywhere. Deep-welled,full-size handles feature ergonomically designed grip points,while balanced weight distribution and composite enclosures make EON truly one of the lightest and easiest sound reinforcement systems to transport and setup. EON's flexible mounting capability, awesome power and extreme light weight set the new standard as the performance do-it-all system for gigging musicians, touring bands, and mobile DJs. Main or monitor, pole or stand mounted, and even flown, EON is right at home regardless of the venue or application.

Reliable
JBL has drawn from over 60 years of world-class speaker design to develop the latest durable lightweight technologies. In addition to the legendary performance of JBL transducers, the EON series incorporates special limiter circuitry that will protect the electronic components when driven hard, rigorously tested by a 100-hour torture test. Covered by a full metal grille with protective backing fitted to a robust composite shell, EON speakers are built to stand up to the rigors of road abuse and deliver the performance you need - every time.

I have a pair of these as well as the subs, and as already mentioned, the subs really benifit this system, leaving a lot more power available to the tops.

If you find you have to push your level from your desk too much get max performance from the EON-515's, switch the mic/line switch and it will boost your inout by 10db. close [-]

After having researched many different speakers these seemed like the best bang for the buck. They are ultra portable and sound great even though they are only 480 watt speakers.

I really was excited when I ordered these and I am glad I waited to choose the right ones by calling and speaking to one of the sales engineers. I couldn't ask for anything better. JBL rocks when it comes to portable PA speakers and I am very happy with my choice!!!!!! close [-]

Convenient and portable

by Mind and State from Newark, OH

Music Background: amateur sound engineer
I bought the 515's to replace an older passive system. Their best attribute is the convenience of the integrated amps and their portability. They are ridiculously light.

I ordered the 5... read more [+]15s and a pair of the 518S subs, but they arrived a day apart. When I got the 515's, I tried them out by themselves and initially, I was really concerned about the output. They sounded really nice at low volumes, but if you boost the low frequencies and turn them up, they peak fairly easily. Bass eats up that 350 watts pretty fast.

Once I got the subs and split the signal with the built-in high-pass filter, it was a different story. I ended up getting really nice and unexpected clarity and tone. Vocals and guitar were reproduced nicely - and at significant volume.

I've only used them in small spaces so far, and the output was sufficient. I am anxious to see how they do in larger venues.

Based on the specifications, I would have expected to have a bit more headroom than I do. Looks like I will routinely run them at about 90%. Again, their real value is in convenience and portability. You have to take that into consideration.

I would have also liked to have seen a more detailed user manual. It's very basic.

Overall, I am happy with them, but will say that based on my applications, I would not purchase them without subs. Subs make a huge difference in getting the most out of the available power in 515's.

I'd also like to say that I'm very pleased with Sweetwater's service. My order arrived less than 24 hours after ordering! Subs took a day longer, but only because they were not in stock when I placed my order. close [-]
