BACK PANEL

A. Power LED

This LED (White) lights to indicate that the speaker is plugged in and

switched ON.

B. Bluetooth Sync

Depress this button in order to initiate pairing with your

Bluetooth enable device.

C. Bluetooth Indicator

This LED will illuminate blue to indicate that your Bluetooth

connection is established.

F. EQ Presets (Full-Range Only)

Use this button to toggle through the four different settings.

MAIN:

This is the default setting for the EON600 loudspeakers. Use this setting when your EON600 loudspeaker is being used either on a tripod or pole and facing towards your audience.

MONITOR: Use this setting when your EON600 loudspeaker is being used as a stage monitor facing towards you.

SUB: Use this setting when your EON600 loudspeaker is being used in conjunction with a separate subwoofer. This preset enables a High Pass Filter (HPF) set at 100Hz.

SPEECH: Use this setting when your EON600 loudspeaker is being used for Speech only or Spoken Word only applications and is facing towards

the audience.

G. EQ+ Button

Once enabled via the app, the EQ+ toggles the applied EQ settings on/off.

H. CH1 & CH2 Gain (Full-Range Only)

Controls the gain of CH1 & CH2 respectively. By turning the signal counter-

clockwise you will be lowering the gain of your source material. By turning

the control clockwise you will be increasing the gain.

Limit Indicator

The LIMIT LED (Red) illuminates to indicate that the system is approaching

limit. If this LED is on for more than the duration of brief dynamic peaks,

the system is being over-driven. Continuously over-driving the system will

result in unpleasant and fatiguing distortion and may lead to premature

failure of your speaker system.

J. Signal Indicators

The SIGNAL LEDs (Green) illuminates to indicate a usable signal is

present at connected INPUTS.

K. Mic/Line Toggle (Full-Range Only)

The MIC/LINE buttons selects between two sensitivity ranges. The buttons

are used to match the input sensitivity with the output level of the devices

connected to CH1 or CH2. Depressing the MIC/LINE switch selects

MIC (High Sensitivity).

CAUTION: Before adjusting this switch, be certain to rotate the control fully counter-clockwise.

After the MIC/LINE switch has been depressed, slowly rotate the control clock-wise until the

desired volume has been reached.

• Use the MIC position (depressed) when a microphone is connected.

• Use the LINE position (disengaged) when a line level source such as an audio mixing console, audio playback device or electronic musical instrument is connected.

L. Master Volume

Controls the master volume of the unit. By turning the knob counter-

clockwise you will be lowering the overall volume of the speaker. By turning

the control clockwise you will be increasing the overall volume of the

speaker.

M. XLR-1/4” Combo Inputs

These balanced inputs accepts a standard XLR (female) connector and

also a 1/4” TRS phone plug. A broad range of signals from microphones,

audio mixing consoles and electronic musical instruments may be

connected here. The sensitivity of these inputs are controlled by the MIC/

LINE SWITCHES.

N. XLR Male Loop Thru

This XLR (male) output connector provides a method of sending audio

out to an external source. If signal is present on both inputs, the inputs will

be summed and sent out as a 50/50 mix

O. Power Switch

Enables the AC power to the unit on and off.

P. Polarity Switch (Subwoofer Only)

Switches the polarity of the subwoofer between 0 and 180 degrees. Useful

for correcting summing issues between the subwoofer and the top boxes.

Users should experiment with the switch at both positions and select the

best sounding option for their speciﬁc application.
