JBL EON612 Test and Teardown

[@premchaithanya.m6678]

Please man don't stop doing this... you're great... expecting more PA's..!

[@MrDexaudio]

THE WAVE GUIDE THAT YOU ARE NOT SURE WHAT FOR......is a bandpass 6TH configuration for the low woofer. There are 2 chambers ( the big one reacting with the 2 ports resonators and the little one ( created by the wave guide in front of the cone ). This configuration give a boost in SPL and limit a part of some distorsions. Generally, you can study the bandpass 6th principle also. It;s an old system but rare seen in the fullrange speakers. Usually , seen at very powerfull speakers systems for big venues.

[@jamband4230]

The fact that you just went right into this speaker no fluff no monologue just right into the video and you didn’t stop taking it apart you I thought you were gonna rip the woofer right outta the basket! This was an awsome video

[@alexspangler610]

If I could like this video 200 times I would can you guys do more of these you are the best you actually give useful info, not just some old guy playing music without a meter....

[@fran.theman007]

Finally a great detailed video of this!!!

[@bennettshapiro7711]

Very interesting hearing the speaker without the wave guide. IMHO, the wave guide really helps in keeping the speaker natural sounding. It makes it especially useful as a vocal monitor on stage.

[@i-adonald1499]

Thanks for this. Definitely now i’m buying QSC. The tear down of the QSC helped me decide. JBL not so much.

[@bca278]

I’m running these JBLs with an older 18 inch EV sub and they sound amazing.

[@PaulJBaccash]

Great video! Do you know what type of screw bit or screwdriver you used to take the grill off? I bought a Torx 5 point set but none of the bits fit the screws.

[@Nodadj]

Yes what tool and bit is used to remove the grill?

[@fredwilson3656]

I have one else showing the clip to my uncle good clip you're very well detailed and very well-informed on your talk about speakers

[@tomputc]

Great review and loved the teardown. I already own a pile of eons for small to medium live events and love them. Keep up the good work, thank you!

[@armstronglance]

I wish I’d seen this video before I bought two EON612 amps on eBay. They say they’re rated 1000W, I don’t see how that’s possible. Thanks for the tear down. The replacement EON612 amps I just bought came with no documentation. I also have JBL PRX812w’s, they crank. But none of them approach the volume of my discrete horn, mid, & sub setups.

[@simoned4307]

great video! which fullrange speaker would you recommend to get the "bass in the chest" feeling? I would use it to play hard techno, acidcore,... music genres with a hard kick and bass

[@2DudesAudio]

Sorry for the delay! New video this week, The second video for the hifi budget series, keep ya eyelids peeled! Thanks for all the comments and support!

[@stephonbethune8421]

Good review . I'd like to see you take apart a JBL PRX 815 to see differences between the two series of powered tops.

[@sauravdhakal5198]

Does it have deep bass or bass is really good than its patybox speakers

[@codesent2125]

I had a 612 eon one time that I converted to passive, and it was a pretty good sounding speaker

[@crazyrayreacts]

Do you recommend for spoken word? Say Stand Up comedy in bar, restaurants etc?

[@treymitchell5229]

Nice video. Would love to see you give the Eon 712 the same treatment.

[@shakeelahmedawan9735]

Can I use this equipment for karaoke songs?

[@terrancecole6647]

Can you do some content on best affordable powered subwoofer

[@brucegarethgeorge]

The waveguide is there to help control sound dispersion. To help prevent waveform frequency cancellation. It's not to improve frequency response.

[@sixsentsoldiers]

So, should I take the Waveguide Plastic Off?

[@boonfire3714]

Great video! What are your thoughts on this as a stand-alone system for acoustic singer-songwriter type stuff? The “no low end” made me nervous 😬 Thanks!

Would this be good for private karaoke events and wedding reception karaoke?

Hola, cual recomiendas, jbl eon 12” o la bocina QSC PC8 ? Gracias

[@locasax]

Hai raggiunto 118 decibel, ad arrivare ai 126 dichiarati si arriva o sono solo valori dichiarati in eccesso?Grazie

[@LioSintra]

Usually I use the volume of speakers at 12h. But those have volume knobs. Which position should I use those master and Chanel volumes to make them sound loud without have any damage on speaker?

[@2DudesAudio]

The best way we used it was, 12-3 o'clock on master with the channel gain anywhere from 0 to max.

[@mrpitin111]

@@2DudesAudio what is the difference between jbl eon 610 1000 watts and Jbl eon 615 1000 watts Do they sound different? Or what is the difference?

[@GlaucoMoledo]

​@@2DudesAudio So can I use on 3/4 on master and max on individual channel? Will the sound work well? Thx!

@@GlaucoMoledo yes

[@Mehoimany]

Could I connect some Behringer Eurolive B1200D-PRO to these? Would I just run a cable from the “through”?

[@armstronglance]

That coil you found on the speaker leads is probably to filter out any 400kHz from the class D oscillator. Any chance you have a copy of the schematic? Or know how to get one?

[@2DudesAudio]

We would need to contact the manufacturer for that and hope for a reply

[@satishsj]

Which are the 3-way speakers at rear ?

[@miguelmendoza7456]

How did you connect Bluetooth ??

[@caradehuachinango1291]

Thanks for the video, I bought a pair of Eon 612'ves refurbished at 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 warranty. This weekend the same thing happened on the other speaker, my question is: Is this a common problem from these Models? I hardly ever use the EONS since I own several other speakers. I find it shocking that after only 8-10 gigs this problem persists. Any comments on this issue? Thanks.

[@KresBeatzEnt]

i have a pair, i replaced the tweeter on one speaker twice. idk y?

[@canyuto]

Question, I just bought the 610, plugged a mic. In line, and it’s not loud at all, do I need to run a mixer for loudness? If I use the mic option, it is a bit louder. Thoughts? Thank you.

[@Norb23]

108dB ? Something wrong with the spl meter ? Description read... 126dB max SPL from what distance half than 1m. :O I like the video anyway. 🙃

[@2DudesAudio]

Yeah it's what we got at 1 meter roughly. Dont get me wrong it was insane loud. Remember every 3 db is twice the intensity.

[@LioSintra]

Don't forget that the db that all manufacturers tell are very difficult to get. They may reach those values with a very lenear music and with low base equalization on mixer. These models have 500w Rms and they are very loud. If you add a sub for gigs or weddings they are perfect. I have 2 eon12" and a db technologies15" sub and don't need more than this for weddings up to 200 guests.

[@Norb23]

@@LioSintra Thx,so i tested my little 6,5 monitors with a dB meter look like similar in @ 20w rms ~ 108,7dB! That's why I was interested. If you have an 500w amp powered by 400w @ 95dB sensivity speaker 10 feet - 111dB + more can do. 3 feet 121 , 3 feet - 20 watt 108dB... questionable that its true sensitivity is no less than 95dB 1w\m. When i have time to listening this JBL 612 would be curious.

[@sonny9546]

@@2DudesAudio 108 Db is not that loud, I have a jbl partybox 300 that sounds as loud at 1 meter, I measured it

[@bekkerthesokuangeldragon68]

You should d oa test and a teardown to the JBL EON618S 1,000 Watt peak 500 RMS. So frickin loud in person and i barely even went up volume and the bass is just INSANELY DEEP BASS AND BOOMING XD I tested it out at the Guitar Center on a couple of my music and holly craP I AM GETTIN' THAT BEAST NOW XD I have 2 2,000 Watt QSC K10 K.2 10 inch top subwoofer speaker. Insanely loud and thumping punching bass from them. I have the Gains set to the 12 O' clock position and i barely have the volume up (I always have the setting preset to Dance and i frickin love them. 2 QSC 2,000 Watts 10 inch K.2 K10 10 inch Drivers.

My EON G2's were $799 new. These new EON's are cheap and they sound like it lol. That's what happens when buyers demand cheap prices

[@2DudesAudio]

Yeah, the older generation sure packed more punch, all the new stuff is dsp out the butt.

[@LioSintra]

Your model are very good and I like more the sound of Grey model (only have volume knob) instead of black model with eq buttons. But when you need high volume they loose quality. With this model if you use the app you can get the same quality in all volumes. I even made them clip and the sound keep same quality and much more louder than old jbl models. I think this is a kombat speaker model just like old g2 were. Other manufactory like Mackie can't make new kombat models like the old srm 450 v1 and V2. But Jbl and Yamaha still can.
