About This Guide
This User’s Guide will cover the operation of your EON15 G2 System and your EON MusicMix 16 mixer. Additional details about your EON15 G2 speakers may be found in the EON15 G2 User’s Guide.
Quick Start
This section of the User’s Guide will give you step by step instructions for setting up and operating a basic EON System. Refer to the illustration.

EON15 G2 Settings and Connections
1. Be sure that the POWER switches on the EON15 G2 speakers are in the OFF position.
2. Turn the INPUT 1, LINE 2, and LINE 3 controls fully counter clockwise.
3. Set the MIC/LINE switch to the LINE position (disengaged).
4. Set the EQ HF and LF controls to their center detented position.
5. Plug the power cable into a properly grounded 3-wire AC power.
6. Repeat this procedure on the other speaker.
MusicMix 16 Settings and Connections
7. Using an XLR/F to XLR/M cable connect the MusicMix 16 MIX L connector to the INPUT 1 connector of the left EON15 G2. Connect the MusicMix 16 MIX R connector to the INPUT 1 connector of the right EON15 G2.
8. Using an XLR/F to XLR/M cable connect a microphone to MIC 1 of the MusicMix 16. Set the switch on the mic to the ON position (orange dot visible).
9. “Zero” the MusicMix 16. (To “zero” a mixer means to set all the controls to a basic starting position.)
• All SENS controls fully CCW (counter clockwise)
• All LOW CUT switches disengaged (up position)
• All HF, MID, and LF controls centered (12:00 o’clock position)
• All MON, EFX2 / MON2, and EFX controls fully CCW (counter clockwise)
• All PAN and BALANCE controls centered (12:00 o’clock position)
• All ON switches disengaged (up position)
• All LISTEN switches disengaged (up position)
• LEVEL 9-10 and LEVEL 13-14 fully CCW (counter clockwise)
• All FADERS all the way down
• 48V PHANTOM POWER off (switch in the up position)
• MIX TAPE/CD switch in the up position
• L/R SUM control fully CCW (counter clockwise)
• CONTROL ROOM & PHONES control fully CCW (counter clockwise)
Power-up Procedure
You are now ready to power up the system. Be sure to do so in the sequence outlined below.
10. If any effects processors, electronic instruments, tape recorders or CD players are connected to the mixer, switch them on.
11. Connect the mixer’s Power Supply Unit (PSU) to the mixer and to AC power. Note that the POWER light on the mixer illuminates. Also note the locking tab - you will need to press it to release the connector when disconnecting the PSU.
12. Switch on the power to the EON15 G2s. The green LED on the front baffle will illuminate.
13. Reverse this process when shutting down your system.
Set Levels
14. On the EON15 G2s bring the INPUT 1 LEVEL control to the 10:00 o’clock position.
15. On input channel 1 of the mixer engage the ON switch.
16. On input channel 1 of the mixer engage the LISTEN switch. This will allow you to observe the signal level on the mixer’s meters. Note the LISTEN ON LED illuminates.
17. Speak or sing into the microphone connected to channel 1 (or ask the performer to do so). Make sure that the performer holds the microphone and speaks or sings as they will during the actual performance.
18. Slowly rotate the channel 1 SENS control CW (clockwise) until you see the following indications on the meter…
• When the performer is at their “normal” performance level, the meter should indicate “0”.
• When the performer is at their loudest you should see the meter reaching to “10”.
• An occasional flickering of the top LED on the meter during the loudest passages is OK. If
this light illuminates steadily, reduce the SENS control setting by turning it CCW.

19. Bring the channel 1 FADER up to the “0” position.
20. With the performer speaking / singing, slowly bring the MIX L and MIX R faders up until the desired level is reached. Listen carefully for the onset of feedback and be prepared to bring the MIX L and MIX R faders down.
21. Set the PAN control to position the sound in the stereo field. With this control centered the sound will be heard equally in both speakers.
22. Disengage the channel 1 LISTEN switch.
23. Repeat steps 15 thru 22 for all other channels that are in use.
Congratulations – you’ve successfully set-up your system. Now let’s fine tune the mix.
Setting Channel EQ
The term “EQ” is shorthand for Equalization. The tone control on your radio or stereo is a most basic form of EQ. Sound reinforcement equipment offers more comprehensive control over tonal balance. Here is a table describing undesired tonal characteristics and how to handle them.
Sound Quality EQ Adjustment
• Too dark, lacks brilliance, seems muddy • Turn up the HF (High Frequency)
• Speech is not clear, vocals don’t project • Increase the MF (Mid Frequency) level
• Rotate the MF frequency control to locate the desired frequency
• Not enough bass, sound is thin, lacks power • Turn up the LF (Low Frequency) and authority • Disengage the LOW CUT control
• Sound is brittle, “S” sounds are too hissy, • Turn down the HF very high-frequency feedback is heard
• Sound is honky or nasal sounding • Turn down the MF EQ
• Rotate the MF frequency control until the sound quality improves
• Sound is boomy or rumbling, feedback is • Turn down the LF heard at very low frequencies • Engage the LOW CUT control
• With a lavaliere mic, speech has too much • Turn down the MF LEVEL and set the MF low mid content frequency control between 300 and 500
Fine Tuning the Mix
Adjust the channel FADERS until the desired blend is achieved. With the performers speaking or singing, observe the PEAK indicator on the EON15 G2 input panel. This indicator flashes when the loudspeaker’s on-board amplifiers are approaching maximum out­put. Occasional flashes are normal for very loud operation. However, if the PEAK LED stays illumi­nated, the sound may be distorted and it is an indication that more speakers or a lower perform­ance volume may be required for your specific application.
Doing More With Your System
The Quick Start section of this guide addresses a simple 2-speaker system with microphones only. This section will explain more advanced uses for your EON System.
Other Sources
In addition to microphones, your EON system will accommodate many sources. Some of these sources may require special adapters or adapter cables. See the “Connectors” section for more information.
