I was just at Sweetwater, these sound pretty good and are priced competitively. I compared them against QSC K12.2 and the CP12 (I'm a big QSC fan) and I thought the EON715 sounded better (at the same volume). The QSC K12.2 have a lot more output volume SPL 132 peak vs the JBL at 128 peak. I know it's a bit apples to oranges because the EON715 is 15" vs 12" on the QSC, but I was looking more for the best deal for the price range I was in. I get what they are trying to do with the internal menu gain control ( variable mic vs line) but in my opinion, that should be a push button PAD control mounted by the gain knob. You don't need 2 variable gains, especially when the one requires menu access to adjust it. Nice review, you're right, most controls should be intuitive and not require instructions for use (at least for the basics).

Is there a setting in the software to have the soesker default to on when plugging in.. i ask because the typical "hard switch" has thebadvantage of seotching on the speaker remotely via controllling the plug socket power. Also concerned about having it mounted high amd speaker being accidentally unplugged. Then wouldni have to always re press the button when pkuggimg back in the speaker?

Hi I'm looking to buy a couple of these and one sub with it but I have a few noobie questions. Does it make sense to also get 2 subs with a pair of these to have a good balance of sound or is one sub enough? And my most important question is is there a limit of how many eon715 speaker and eon718 sub I can plug together? I might want to expand in the future and buy a few more to get a 100-200 people dancing outdoors. Would 4-5 of these and 3 subs do the job? thanks for your time
@djsanctus1650 Жыл бұрын
Great questions, I would say you can get by with one sub in most situations, but it very much depends on what your situation is. If you're in front of a large crowd and you're playing bass heavy club music, 2+ would be a good choice. If you're renting these out, 2 would be a good choice. If you're buying for a band or wedding dj set-up and you play for crowds of 200 or less, 1 would likely be fine. You can plug as many of these together as your venue power can support. Each of these are individually powered, so chaining them together doesn't effect their power. Total power on the venues main circuit is what will matter. Feel free to give me any follow up questions you have. Help out my channel by using the purchase links in the description! 😄

If you set your speaker’s master and channel specific volumes to around 75%, everything past that point should be based on speaker placement, cables, and how your mixer board is set up (volume, gain, frequency levels, etc…). Are you getting distortion on microphones or music you’re playing?

Hello! I have the speaker plugged into an electronic drum set but can’t get any sound out of it. I’ve adjusted all 3 gains and still no sound. Bluetooth with my phone works, however. Scratching my head on this one. Any advice?
@djsanctus1650 Жыл бұрын
Well that sounds frustrating. Sorry you’re having problems. If there is output from the drum set, you should be hearing *something. You might plug the drum set into a second device of some kind (small Bluetooth speaker, laptop, etc…) to verify you’ve got audio coming out. Next take something else that outputs audio (like a microphone) and test to see if you get sound from the speakers. If you do, and you’ve tested both Chanel 1 and Chanel 2 and can’t get sound from the drums, it could have to do with the drums output being too weak. At which point you could purchase a Bluetooth transmitter and have a “wireless” drum set. Or, you could purchase a signal amplifier of some kind and increase the output signal.

JBL really screwed up, they made the female hole for the pole 36mm instead of 35mm, 35mm is standard, and that is why the thing flops around on standard stands. This made me very upset when I bought the speaker because that is not cool at all. I believe that in manufacturing someone made a mistake with the hole measurements, and it was too costly to correct, or either they changed it purposely to get people to buy their proprietary speaker stands. However, i cannot find a speaker stand that supports a 36mm hole size from any manufacturer. I am thinking of sending it back because when you are out working you need your speaker to be snug. And like this interview said, why not include a set screw??????????

Hey! Really excited about your next video. I went to a local sound store and paired my phone to one of these. With 0db gain and max volume, the speaker started limiting. I never expected it to do that. Compared to other brands like the EV ZLX which didn't struggle at all. Even cheaper brands weren't limited at 0db. Do you think this is just a gain thing? I left really disappointed that the speaker couldn't take a little beating and produce a high SPL.

@djsanctus1650 Жыл бұрын
So sorry for not getting to this until now. I don't know that the "perfect" gain settings exist, but this is what I've been doing. *Start by turning all volume controls all the way down on everything* -Starting at my laptop, setting my audio out to 75%. -At my mixer board, setting all of my volume sliders to where I want them. -At my speakers, *with music playing* starting with the internal chanel gain at about 8db, put the master volume to about 75%, next, start increasing the external gains for each chanel up until the sound is at the desired volume. If you get to 100% on the external gains, set them back to 50%, increast a few more db on the internal gain ad try again. This way, you have several places to squeeze some extra volume if needed. You can increase volume at the mixer, or at the speaker, or both if you really need it.

But I put my 600's to the test, even been dropped from a speaker stand thanks to some heavy winds at an outdoor event. The 600s were great. I love them. So far I am little iffy on the 700s but I know that once I dial it in correctly they'll be better than the 600s. My only real issue is how heavy the 718s are. I was using the JBL PRX718s with the Eon600s and man I was getting some great sound out of them. And the PRX subs were super light for being subs. These eon subs are about 65-70 lbs heavier.

@@djsanctus1650 also I think the issue or big difference between the 600s and 700s is the mic/line button the channel inputs for the 600s. The 700s don't have those which is where knowing your gain levels helps with the sound output. Pushing that little mic/line button on the 600s was awesome, especially me who uses my equipment to run sound for bands. I wish they would've kept that feature on the 700s to make it easier instead of having to change all your gain levels accordingly. I just feel they made it to where its more work to adjust your levels than compared to the 600s. Also I used the JBL app to control the levels and I didn't notice a difference. I had all 4 speakers connected and literally didn't hear a difference when messing with the levels on the app. Have you had any problems or issues with the app?

@djsanctus16502 жыл бұрын
@@jimmygobe9815 Hey there, is the clipping on all of them? I don't have the 718's so I can't really speak to how those function. I do know that my method is usually to set everything on my gear to the lowest volume, set the internal gain for the speakers to like 8db or so, and then slowly turn everything up, starting with putting my mixing board at the prefered volume levels before moving to the speakers. If your speakers are going from 0 sound to clipping as soon as you increase the gains, then in my mind the issue is likely with what your outputting to them. Whatever signal your sending them is too much for them to work with, assuming all of the other gains/volumes are at reasonable numbers. If you've maxed out the master volume, and the chanel gains, then your increasing the digital gains, that may be the problem... Hope that helps, my friend!
