JBL’s waveguide and transducer technologies are used to provide uniform coverage across a listening area. Woofers have been redesigned for lower impedance and higher efficiency, while an improved horn is said to provide a smooth off-axis beamwidth. JBL’s 2414H compression driver features a premium neodymium magnet for balanced responset. Speakers are powered by 1,300 (loudspeakers) or 1,500 (subwoofer) watts of Class D amplification, for clean, clear sound. It all adds up to superior coverage, consistency and intelligibility at any volume.
Meanwhile, EON700’s DSP package provides control over EQ, limiters, delay, dbx Automatic Feedback Suppression, ducking and other speaker functions. Users can access settings on-speaker via an integrated backlit LCD screen, or from anywhere in the venue using the JBL Pro Connect App. Built-in Bluetooth 5.0 audio streaming (full-range speakers) and control use the newest protocol’s security features, low latency, broad range and improved audio fidelity.
Full-range models in the line feature top and rear suspension points for flying speakers, while rear suspension points serve as connections for fixed installations, using an optional universal yoke mount. Indexed feet molded into enclosures enable a range of acoustic configurations and secure stacking for traditional stand-up configurations. EON718S subwoofers feature a threaded pole mount for full-range speakers and can be stacked for cardioid configurations.
