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! 😄

Not with features built into the speaker itself. Of course it's possible to add effects with a mixing console or other external device.

🤣🤣🤣

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?

@@djsanctus1650 The db on this JBL is +/- trying to find best setting

What are you planning to use them for? Also, what kind of mics did you get?

@@djsanctus1650 I'll be using them in my school for shows and stuff. The wireless mics are Sennheheiser EM 100 with wireless mics.

@@djsanctus1650 hi, does the JBL eon 715 get hot when turned on? I bought two Electro-Voice ZLX-15BT speakers and they get very hot at the rear side after turned on for 15 minutes even when it’s not playing anything. Thanks

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.

I don't know that I understand your message. There are two "audio ins" (ch1 and ch2) and they will both feed to the output chanel. Can you elaborate on what you mean by extra feed through?

Absolutely!

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.

Yeah I can understand that. The weight difference between these and a wood box housing is for sure noticeable. But so is the feeling of quality between the wood and cheaper plastic.

I'd suggest the electro voice speakers for sound quality. They are a little heavy but better quality in my opinion.

Yeah, I’ve been very cautious with that interior gain setting. Have you damaged your speakers or seen damaged speakers because of the gain? I would’ve thought the clipping safeguards would protect them from cranking it up too much?

Glad I could help dude! Would love to hear your thoughts on their build quality compared to the 600's. Mine got scratched up really easily.

@@djsanctus1650 mine have only a couple of miles on them and haven't really been put to the test as far as durability yet, so I wouldn't be able to give you a proper review of quality. I have a bunch of shows upcoming the next few months though. As for right now they seem pretty durable. 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. I'll give you a review in about a month after I have put them through about 6 shows.

@@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?

Hey DJ Sanctus I recently bought 4 of these Eons 715, and 2 of the Eons 718s, the problem is that I am not able to get some good sound, as soon as I increase the volume using the gain, and the one on the main settings I immediately get a red light/clipping

@@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!

So you can do it automatically with a new device without pairing it through the menu first? Literally just bought these and that's what I've been worried about. They say you can connect your phone to it to prevent anyone else doing so but then I'm worried about getting a phone call

What wires do you use for connecting to your sound board?

Depends on what kind of feature set is important to you. Do you want great wireless capability? Sound ducking? Anti-feedback? App control? The Eon wins in these categories. Do you want a generally more robust and better built speaker? Are you only going to buy 1 speaker or run wired 100% of the time? Do you want a setscrew for your speaker stand? 🤣 The ZLX wins in these categories. It depends on what you're looking for. Use my links in the video description to purchase either of the speakers you're looking for.

@@djsanctus1650 just the sound quality

@@davidarko personally, I'm more of a fan of the ZLX's sound. I think with the JBL app, the Eon can be fine tuned to what you want with highs/lows/bass boost, but the resonance of the heavier cabinet of the ZLX makes it sound more impressive. That's a subjective opinion so someone with a better ear than me may disagree, but that's my take on it.

@@djsanctus1650 thank you so much

These are very different products. Are you wanting to be a pro DJ and plan to buy lights, a facade, maybe a bass speaker? Get the eons. Do you want to just have a fun time DJing at your friends house party? Maybe get the partybox. The party box isn't made for large events. If you can't put it on a speaker stand, you won't get the sound distribution you want.

@@djsanctus1650 I just want to use the bluetooth function on either speaker? Which is louder and has better bass?

If you are using cables, yes. You can connect a JBL speaker to any other powered speaker. You'll want to use either a balanced XLR cable or a balanced 1/4" TRS connector. Wirelessly, using the JBL connect app, I don't believe so. If you are just trying to connect two speakers to an audio sorce via Bluetooth, you ca buy a Bluetooth transmitter that can connect to more than one device. I believe I have a link to one in my video description.

@@djsanctus1650 thank you

please i have a question another question if you can ans.......... me . if i have two different passive speaker can i connect them together ? sec , if i have two different amp........... can i connect them together ?

Because the feature set still makes sense for me. It might not make sense for other people. Also. Rude.

You can buy a bundle that will usually save you a little money, but they do not normally come in pairs. My bundle included two speakers, two stands, and two audio cables.

Supposedly the 715's sound better than the 615's. Would like to hear a head to head comparison.

l agree whit you..very dificult speaker..
