HARMAN Professional Solutions recently introduced the JBL EON ONE PRO, a portable, rechargeable line array PA, and announced its immediate worldwide availability. Combining the power and clarity of a professional JBL PA system with the convenience and mobility of a battery-powered, self-contained solution, the EON ONE PRO lets musicians perform anywhere. In addition to versatile coverage patterns and a lightweight design, the EON ONE PRO features Bluetooth® audio, a 7-channel mixer and a rechargeable lithium battery with 6 hours of runtime.
Ideal for touring musicians, DJs and roving presenters, among other applications, the EON ONE PRO is quick and easy to set up, bringing superior sound quality to any location.
“The EON ONE PRO draws on JBL's more than 70-year legacy of acoustic innovation to set a new benchmark in portable sound reinforcement,” says Craig Lambrecht, Retail & Recording Solutions, HARMAN Professional Solutions. “Musicians and performers can control their sound with the built-in 7-channel mixer with Bluetooth audio and, when they're done, fold up the whole system and carry it with one hand. This unprecedented combination of power, portability and control lets musicians perform literally anywhere with excellent sound quality, so we're thrilled to introduce the EON ONE PRO to our customers at the NAMM show.”
As the first battery-powered compact line array PA system, the EON ONE PRO delivers an exceptional combination of quality sound and portability. The high-frequency section and the two extension poles fit neatly inside the base unit, making for a functional package. Users can set up the system in seconds and choose the right number of extension poles to optimize the sound for the application. Two extension poles provide great reach for live concerts and large audiences, while a single extension pole is ideal for conferences, gyms and mid-sized groups. For small gatherings and private events, the user can place the high-frequency section directly on the base unit.
With a maximum SPL of 118 dB (peak), the EON ONE PRO delivers loud yet detailed, distortion-free sound. The discreet 8" bass reflex subwoofer provides very tight low-end response, ideal for DJs or for playing back recorded music. The high-frequency section features patent-pending Directivity Control Geometry technology, which optimizes the spacing and angles of the six 2-inch high-frequency drivers, delivering defined, clear sound with very wide, even coverage for the whole audience.
The built-in 7-channel mixer with high-impedance inputs and phantom power lets users connect microphones, instruments such as acoustic and electric guitars and keyboards, and other audio sources. The mixer includes bass, treble and reverb controls to optimize the sound. The system also includes an XLR connector in parallel with the input for linking additional units for a more powerful sound reinforcement. Bluetooth audio input makes it much easier to play recorded music from phones or tablets. The unit has a USB connector for powering phones or tablets and a convenient built-in tablet holder. An optional integrated accessory lets users mount a GoPro® camera to record the show.
