Section 2: Precautions
The EON 206P PA system covered by this manual is not intended for use in high
moisture environments. Moisture can damage the speaker cone and surround and cause
corrosion of electrical contacts and metal parts. Avoid exposing the speakers to direct
moisture. Keep speakers out of extended or intense direct sunlight. The driver suspension
will prematurely dry out and nished surfaces may be degraded by long-term exposure
!
Stand Mounting Safety Precautions
The EON 206P speakers contain a 36 mm receptacle cup to allow mounting on tripod stands or on a pole over
subwoofers. When using stands or poles, be sure to observe the following precautions:
• Check the stand or pole specication to be certain the device is designed to support the weight of the
speaker. Observe all safety precautions specied by the manufacturer.
• Always verify that the stand (or subwoofer/pole) is placed on a at, level and stable surface and
be sure to fully extend the legs of tripod type stands. Position the stand so that the legs do not
present a trip hazard.
to intense ultra-violet (UV) light. The EON 206P PA system can generate considerable
energy. When placed on a slippery surface such as polished wood or linoleum, the
speaker may move due to its acoustical energy output. Precautions should be taken to
assure that the speaker does not fall off a stage or table on which it is placed.
• Route cables so that performers, production crew, and audience will not trip and topple the
speakers over.
• Inspect the stand (or pole and associated hardware) before each use and do not use equipment with
worn, damaged or missing parts.
• Do not attempt to place more than one EON 206P series speaker on a stand or pole.
• Always be cautious in windy, outdoor conditions. It may be necessary to place additional weight (i.e.
sandbags) on the base of the stand to improve stability. Avoid attaching banners or similar items to
any part of a speaker system. Such attachments could act as a sail and topple the system.
• Unless you are condent that you can handle the weight of the speaker, ask another person to help
you get it onto the tripod stand or pole.
Hearing Damage, Prolonged Exposure To Excessive SPL
The EON 206P system is capable of generating sound pressure levels (SPL) sufcient to cause permanent
hearing damage to performers, production crew and audience members. Caution should be taken to avoid
prolonged exposure to SPL in excess of 90 dB.
WATCH FOR THESE SYMBOLS!

Section 4: Introduction To The EON 206P PA System
Thank you for choosing the JBL EON 206P PA system. The EON 206P is a self-contained, portable PA system
featuring multiple input channels with individual tone controls, reverb and convenient output routing capabilities
that allow the user to integrate the system into any number of audio environments. And with its lightweight and
ergonomic design the EON 206P is perfect for situations where ease and portability are just as important as
quality and exibility.
Included in the EON 206P package are:
• 2 JBL professional speakers
• 1 center housing with powered mixer and compartment for storage of speaker cables
• 1 pair of unshielded speaker cables
• 1 power cable
• User’s guide
GETTING STARTED
1. Remove EON 206P system from the carton.
2. Detach speakers from center powered mixer section.

5) Connecting the AC Power Cable
Connect the female end of the power cable to the mixer and plug
the male end into the wall socket or extension cord. Turn the “MASTER VOLUME” control to “0”.
Now turn the power switch to the “on” position. You should see the “POWER” indicator illuminated.
At this point you are ready to bring in an audio signal and hear the signal amplied by the system.

Getting Acquainted with the EON 206P Powered Mixer
This part of the EON 206P system houses the mixing board and power amplier. You will connect all of the
microphones, musical instruments, external sound sources (like MP3 or CD players), in addition to any recording
devices or additional speakers like a personal monitor, subwoofer or “Front of House” feed.
The Basics
The mixing board is actually a very simple device. A “mixing board” brings audio sources “in” (through
the inputs) and routes the signal to the outputs (MASTER VOLUME/SPEAKER OUTPUTS or MONITOR
OUTPUTS). The mixer controls enable the user to affect the tone and/or volume in addition to routing the signal
and adding reverb to individual input sources.

Let’s look at the “inputs” rst:
AUDIO INPUTS
The EON 206P has 6 inputs: 2 mono inputs and 2 stereo inputs.
All of the inputs will route to the speakers and to the MONITOR OUTPUT SECTION.
MONO MIC/LINE INPUTS
Moving from left to right there are 2 identical input strips comprised of (from top to bottom) a treble control,
bass control, reverb control, reverb on/off button, volume control, mic/line selector and a XLR 1/4"
combination conector.

STEREO INPUTS
The EON 206P has two stereo inputs and these are used primarily for MP3 or CD players but could be used
with the stereo output of an electronic keyboard, instrument pre-amp or processor, or an electronic drum
machine. The inputs labeled “CH 3/4” offer the option of using ¼" phone plugs or RCA plugs and this channel
has a volume control. The input labeled “CH 5/6” is a 3.5 mm stereo input of the type typically found on
personal music players. This input does not have a volume control as personal music players usually have a
“volume control” built into the unit. This is the best way to control the volume of the unit plugged into
this input.

STEREO OUTPUTS: We’ve brought signals into the mixer now let’s send
them somewhere…The EON 206P has Left and Right 1/4" outputs:
1. LEFT/RIGHT speaker outputs -
These outputs should only be connected to the
EON 206P speakers and under no condition should
they be connected to the input of another electronic device.
These outputs carry power and as such could damage the
electronic device. Only use “unshielded” speaker cables

(like the cables provided with your EON 206P).
2. “MONITOR OUTPUTS”
These outputs allow you to route the stereo mixer signal to another
destination like a recording device, personal monitor, subwoofer
or to another PA system (Front of House).

MASTER VOLUME and “Limit” LED
Your EON 206P is equipped with a “Master Volume” that controls
