JBL EON 615 High Frequency (Horn/Tweeter) Driver Replacement

[@robwstrat]

Your video saved me lugging my Eon over to a repair shop an hour and a half away. Thank you so much

[@cryounger]

You are totally welcome!

[@cultureman47]

Way to go man!! Thanks for sharing this information with us in the sound community we really appreciate you doing this for us

[@philwilson4476]

Thanks for the video. I'm about to replace the woofer, and this helps knowing how to open it up.

[@yikesmikes13]

Thank you so much. I was about to buy another speaker. Saved me about $400+.

[@cryounger]

I am glad to hear that!

[@timbomba9478]

Thank you for this. I just replaced my high frequency driver after watching your video.

[@siafu87]

Thank you for posting this video this is exactly what I needed to see and I hope it fixes the problem with my speaker.

[@craftus-flute-guitar-vocal7329]

Thanks for the video. This enabled me to take my JBL Eon 610s apart with confidence. Unfortunately, the crossover amp must be bad on one. I took both speakers apart and swapped the tweeters but the one speaker still has not tweeter output. I reset the speaker too. Despite the bad outcome, I appreciate your great video.

[@rjsphatsoul]

Thank you for this video. One of my speakers makes a noise like something is loose in it. This video is helpful on how to remove the cover.

[@caradehuachinango1291]

Thanks for the video, I bought a pair of Eon 612'ves refurbished on eBay, about 2 years ago. One tweeter blew out on my third gig (I'm a casual Home DJ for home parties), at that time, the speaker was under JBL'ss warranty. This weekend the same thing happened to my other speaker. Would you know, if this Is a common problem in these Models? I hardly ever use the EONS since I own several other pairs of Loudspeakers. I find it shocking that after only 8-10 gigs of use this happened. Any comments on this issue? Thank you in advance.

[@roccovaselino]

I'm about to replace a tweeter in my JBL PRX615 that I use on my Roland drums, and I'm assuming the process is similar. Your video was helpful. One suggestion, though. When you remove the old driver, do NOT place it on the table next to the new driver. You run the risk of installing the blown driver again. How do I know this?? Haha! Yup.

[@MobilediscowirralCoUk]

Put a bms in much better HF

[@eartraffic]

I wonder if this would be a good replacement for my ALTO TX215 cabinet. the amp is 600W peak 300 continuous D class. Any opinion? thanks.

[@cryounger]

I am really not sure. Sorry!

[@eduardovallsbenitez3137]

It helped me to change a burned tweeter Thanks

Hola amigo, pagina para ordenar driver del jbl eon 615 en mexico, saludos

[@jefftiggererhardt6042]

How can a person tell what is blown on the speaker? I have one that is down and I am not sure how to tell what needs to be replaced. Thank you for your prompt reply!

[@cryounger]

In the case of the high frequency drivers, there is an obvious loss of high end. When I would attempt to use my auto room equalizing unit, it was not able to achieve a flat EQ curve. The highs were nonexistent. I have never had an issue with the 15 inch speakers, but I imagine you would get almost no sound at all. But if you are getting no sound, I would focus on the amplifier unit or power supply.

[@lorenzocavallari6335]

hi, what problem did your jbl have? my one after a wile turns off and i don't know whats wrong with it.

[@PaulJBaccash]

Great video! I have the EON 612. I bought a Torx set of bits containing a size 15 and 20 but they don't fit the screws. Can you post a link to the exact bit or screwdriver needed to take off the grill and front half?

[@cryounger]

The one for the 615s is a T15

[@davidy7708]

Thank you very much. Very helpful

[@alxdukextars2620]

great work, I have a JBL Monitor S38 with damaged tweeters and the spare part discontinued ... how can I know which ones can work correctly?

[@cryounger]

Can you find the part number on the tweeters and reply to me with that number?

[@alxdukextars2620]

@@cryounger Yes, PART# 335663-001 (JBL S38 1" TWEETER ), I would like to get something similar, that is compatible....

[@cryounger]

@@alxdukextars2620 These are not made anymore as I guess you have figured out. So, I would find a 1" dome titanium tweeter, and you'll have to modify the hole to make it fit.

@@cryounger Thank you very much, I will try it, it looks very similar, I may have to adapt it a bit, but I have hope!

Where did you go or online to buy those drivers? How much was for overnight shipping? What state are you located at? I mean do you have speacial access to buy this parts?

Amazon has them too

[@deejaytokamalo679]

Thank you I will pray for you God bless you

[@mmullerman]

Rather than taking off entire front, isn't easier to remove the speaker (screws) and have just as good, if not better, access?

[@shaunprettypaul]

He needs to disconnect the leads as well from the amp

[@eduardomalcom2228]

Hello, a query, more than a year and a half that I have the EON 615, I use little and yesterday to turn them on note that the Bluetooth led was on and blinking quickly and never shut down, also did not allow me to change the EQ mode presets , you know what to do, how to fix it? I appreciate your support.... Thank you

[@hmproductionsdjs]

hi, are they same for the eon 612? please let me know thank you

[@cryounger]

I honestly don’t know! I am so sorry!

[@ricardocorazon6533]

Hi.....What do You think about eon 610? Someone said in KZbin that all eon 600 serie have the same problem with the drivers. It break out very often. More than another brands of speakers. Thats true? Do You think they are of high Quality?

[@macz1proent.982]

Would this replace the 2414 H off of a prx 635?

[@chobit76]

My faceplate will NOT budge after removing all of the screws. Is there a trick to this? I see the two tabs at the top but they will not move either. What am I doing wrong or not doing to facilitate the faceplate removal?

[@cryounger]

If you have the EON 615s then it is just the front visible screws. You may have to use a flathead to pry it free. I don't know if there was another design of that speaker, but mine are about a year old.

[@joeperez3216]

Great work alot of help

[@cryounger]

joe Perez I am glad that helped!!

[@WagnerAntonini]

Onde compro esse Driver no Brasil🙏🙏🙏

[@jordanflanders5990]

Where the clips easy to remove and put back together on the driver? Were they screwed in or just click on and off?

[@RANDYYOUNGERMUSIC]

They are press-on. I did have to use needle nose though but super easy!

[@jordanflanders5990]

Awesome! Thank you so much. This was a HUGE help.

[@RANDYYOUNGERMUSIC]

I am so glad it helped someone! Thank you for engaging Jordan!

[@peachnkrem79]

can you tell the driver is blown just by looking at it?

[@cryounger]

I don't think so.

[@mrdeleon579]

Your lid came off so easy after removing screws. Mine is stuck is there a special tool that i can use to pry open.

[@cryounger]

The first time I had to pull pretty hard. Can you double check that all the screws are out?

[@djmidnightgonzalez6284]

How much the watts the driver rms????

[@napynap]

Thanks for the video, but you didn't cover that each post is for a specific wire. The driver should have labels on the posts.

[@cryounger]

The posts are different sizes. They only fit one way.

[@roccovaselino]

@@cryounger That's good to know. I was wondering.

[@DJTRUENO]

Thanks

[@joelstrack]

Thank you

[@ivanravello5687]

just wondering , can i replace the high frecuency driver with another brand, a biger one ?? we now that there are many profesional audio brands in the market maybe b&c , bms ,rcf , etc ,etc ///greeting from Peru ////

[@lanemoran8399]

Absolutely. Use the JBL driver as fishing weight and put quality in it. B&C is the only driver I have ever used to replace any broken driver. If unavailable I have gone to eminence and 18 sound.

[@walterwells1161]

Thank you just did it to my alto

[@Dj.alegria]

thanks for sharing

[@josemariasalinasaraya7221]

Thanks man!!

[@hiranthasanjaya1236]

Good job

[@26stMOB]

Hello did notice if you replaced with 4 ohm or 8 ohm. Speaker

[@cryounger]

It is 8 ohms.

[@rjpeace3003]

Why didn't you just take the speaker out to get to the tweeter.

[@cryounger]

I'm not sure it's any easier, but I haven't tried that. Good thought!

[@gjrp18]

Will this fit with ALTO ts312?

[@RANDYYOUNGERMUSIC]

gjrp18 I honestly don’t know

[@organeu]

Great quality, made in Mexico in JBL factory, not in china. Never put aftermarket made in china. I think we still need a small mirror to not be wrong at the connection between + and -.

[@djpangui]

THANKs !!!!

How to tell difference between Midrange Horn vs Tweeter Horn speaker??

There is only one high frequency driver in the speaker.
