MAIN:
This is the default setting for the EON600 loudspeakers. Use this
setting when your EON600 loudspeaker is being used either on a
tripod or pole and facing towards your audience.
MONITOR:
Use this setting when your EON600 loudspeaker is being used as a
stage monitor facing towards you.
SUB:
Use this setting when your EON600 loudspeaker is being used in
conjunction with a separate subwoofer. This preset enables a High
Pass Filter (HPF) set at 100Hz.
SPEECH:
Use this setting when your EON600 loudspeaker is being used for
Speech only or Spoken Word only applications and is facing towards

H. CH1 & CH2 Gain (Full-Range Only)
Controls the gain of CH1 & CH2 respectively. By turning the signal counter-
clockwise you will be lowering the gain of your source material. By turning
the control clockwise you will be increasing the gain.
I. Limit Indicator
The LIMIT LED (Red) illuminates to indicate that the system is approaching
limit. If this LED is on for more than the duration of brief dynamic peaks,
the system is being over-driven. Continuously over-driving the system will
result in unpleasant and fatiguing distortion and may lead to premature
failure of your speaker system.
J. Signal Indicators
The SIGNAL LEDs (Green) illuminates to indicate a usable signal is
present at connected INPUTS.
K. Mic/Line Toggle (Full-Range Only)
The MIC/LINE buttons selects between two sensitivity ranges. The buttons
are used to match the input sensitivity with the output level of the devices
connected to CH1 or CH2. Depressing the MIC/LINE switch selects
MIC (High Sensitivity).
CAUTION: Before adjusting this switch, be certain to rotate the control fully counter-clockwise.
After the MIC/LINE switch has been depressed, slowly rotate the control clock-wise until the
desired volume has been reached.

connected.
• Use the LINE position (disengaged) when a line level source
such as an audio mixing console, audio playback device or
electronic musical instrument is connected.
L. Master Volume
Controls the master volume of the unit. By turning the knob counter-
clockwise you will be lowering the overall volume of the speaker. By turning
the control clockwise you will be increasing the overall volume of the
speaker.
M. XLR-1/4” Combo Inputs
These balanced inputs accepts a standard XLR (female) connector and
also a 1/4” TRS phone plug. A broad range of signals from microphones,
audio mixing consoles and electronic musical instruments may be
connected here. The sensitivity of these inputs are controlled by the MIC/
LINE SWITCHES.
N. XLR Male Loop Thru
This XLR (male) output connector provides a method of sending audio
out to an external source. If signal is present on both inputs, the inputs will
be summed and sent out as a 50/50 mix
O. Power Switch
Enables the AC power to the unit on and off.
P. Polarity Switch (Subwoofer Only)
Switches the polarity of the subwoofer between 0 and 180 degrees. Useful
for correcting summing issues between the subwoofer and the top boxes.
Users should experiment with the switch at both positions and select the
best sounding option for their specific application.

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.

sound emanating from the EON600 in the vertical and
horizontal planes ensuring the representation of your mix is
neutral and accurate at the listening position.
Low Frequency Waveguide
JBL’s ground breaking new low frequency waveguide
features special fluting that is designed into the structure that
guides the frequencies through the full range of the system.
Coverage through Revolutionary Waveguides
EON600 Family Coverage Patterns Compared to a Typical Speaker
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.

LOUDSPEAKER PLACEMENT AND SUSPENSION
The following guidelines will help you achieve optimum sound wherever you use your EON ® loudspeakers:
Only experienced professionals should attempt to suspend the speakers.
For permanent installation applications utilizing the M10 suspension points, JBL Professional recommends the use of three
(3) M10 x 1.5 thread pitch forged shoulder steel eyebolts with an 18-20mm threaded shaft, along with fender washers, rated
for overhead suspension. Users unfamiliar with safe rigging practices should not attempt to suspend loudspeakers. Please see
https://www.jblpro.com/pub/technote/tn_v1n14.pdf for more information.
Raise the speakers as high as possible.
For best results try to get the high frequency horn at least 2 to 4 feet above the heads of the audience. If the speakers are too
low, the people in the back of the audience will not receive the best quality sound.
Place the speakers between the microphones and the audience.
Feedback occurs when the microphones pick up sound from the speakers and “feed” the sound back through the sound
system. If space is limited, point the speakers away from the microphones to reduce feedback.
Locate the speakers away from turntables.
Low-frequency feedback occurs when the output of the speaker is picked up by the tone arm of the turntable and is re-
amplified. A heavy, solid turntable base and shock mounting can also reduce this type of feedback in DJ applications.
Use more speakers in large or highly reverberant spaces.
Spreading speakers throughout these spaces will produce much better sound than trying to compensate with loudness level or
equalization. For very long distances, the use of another set of speakers with time delay is recommended.
Stand speakers upright for PA - Tilt the speakers back on the side for stage monitoring. Upright stance provides even coverage
over a wide area. EON speakers are also designed with two slanted positions for stage monitoring applications.

• 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
Noise or hiss heard at output. 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.
Hum or Buzz that increases or
decreases when the mixer level
controls are moved.
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.
Hum or Buzz
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.
