At Winter NAMM 2016, JBL Professional by HARMAN has unveiled the EON208P, a portable PA system. The company says this new system will provide accessible live sound solutions to small bands, solo artists, coffeehouses, clubs, schools, meetings, worship events, and health clubs.
The JBL EON208P system features two loudspeakers housed in durable enclosures, suitable for ground stacking or pole mounting. Each loudspeaker uses an 8-inch woofer and 1-inch neodymium black nylon dome tweeter powered by an internal 320-watt amp. JBL says the EON208P features advanced waveguide technology for uniform coverage, and leverages the latest cabinet materials, acoustic science, and transducer design for superior sound.
The integrated 8-channel mixer provides flexibility for a variety of needs. Channels 1-4 can accept either a ¼-inch instrument cable or XLR cable—and feature volume, reverb, treble, and bass controls—making them perfect for DJs, singers and instrumentalists, and presenters. Channels 1-3 also allow for both phantom power and Hi-Z input, enabling users to directly connect guitars as well as microphones and other devices requiring phantom power.
Channels 5 and 6 can accept either a stereo pair of ¼-inch TRS plugs or stereo RCA cables, making them ideal for keyboards and media playback devices. Channels 7 and 8 accept a stereo 3.5mm input for mobile devices such as phones and tablets. Bluetooth devices can easily be paired via the system's pairing integration. The JBL 208P also offers a flexible output section, allowing separate channels to run monitors, headphones, and a dedicated subwoofer simultaneously.
Designed for easy portability along with space to store the included power and speaker cables, the lightweight JBL EON208P system expands the company's line or portable speakers, providing a live sound solution to a wide variety of applications.
