Care and Cleaning
EON208P systems may be cleaned with a dry cloth. Do not get moisture into any
of
the openings
in
the system.
Ensure that the system is unplugged from the AC outlet before cleaning.
THIS APPARATUS CONTAINS POTENTIALLY LETHAL VOLTAGES. TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK OR
HAZARD, DO NOT REMOVE CHASSIS, MIXER MODULE OR AC INPUT COVERS. NO USER SERVICEABLE
PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

Section 2: Precautions
The EON208P 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 finished surfaces may be degraded by long-term exposure to
intense ultra-violet (UV) light. The EON208P
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.
Stand Mounting Safety Precautions
The EON208P 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 specification to be certain the device is designed to support the weight
of the
speaker. Observe all safety precautions specified by the manufacturer.
• Always verify that the stand (or subwoofer/pole)
is placed on a flat, 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.
• 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 EON208P 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 confident 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 EON208P system is capable of generating sound pressure levels (SPL) sufficient 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!
The exclamation point within
an equilateral triangle is intended
to alert the user to the presence
of important operating
and maintenance (Servicing) instructions
in the literature
accompanying the product.
The lightning flash with the arrowhead symbol within an
equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence
of un-insulated "Dangerous Voltage" within the products

Section 4: Introduction
to
the EON208P
PA
System
Thank you for choosing the JBL EON208P
PA
system. The EON208P is a self-contained, portable
PA
system
featuring multiple input channels with individual tone controls, Bluetooth® audio streaming, 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 EON208P is perfect for situations where ease
and portability are
just
as important as quality and flexibility.
Included
in
the EON208P package are:
• 2 JBL professional speakers
• 1AKG vocal microphone, 1 microphone cable and 1 microphone clamp
• 1 center housing with powered mixer and compartment for storage
of
speaker cables and microphone
• 1 pair
of
unshielded speaker cables
• 1 power cable
• User's guide

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 amplified
by
the system.

Getting Acquainted with the EON208P Powered Mixer
This part
of
the EON208P system houses the mixing board and power amplifier. You will connect all
of
the
microphones, musical instruments, Bluetooth® audio device, 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.

The EON208P 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 5/6" offer the option of using
~"
phone plugs or RCA plugs and this channel has a
volume control. The inputs labeled "CH 7/8" offer the option
of
using~"
phone plugs or a 3.5 mm stereo input
typically found
on
personal music players and this channel has a volume control. 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 EON208P has Left and Right%" outputs:
1. LEFT/RIGHT speaker outputs-
These outputs should only be connected to the
EON208P 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 EON208P).
2. MONITOR OUTPUTS
~\
These %" or RCA 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).
3. HEADPHONE OUTPUT
This 3.5 mm output allows for listening to the mix using headphones.
4. SUBWOOFER OUTPUT
This RCA output allows you to connect an additional subwoofer to
the solution where added range is necessary.
MASTER VOLUME and "Limit" LED
Your EON208P is equipped with a "Master Volume" that controls the
overall output volume of the system and a yellow LED that indicates
that you have approached the maximum output.
In addition to the
limited LED, signal meters are also displayed for each output channel.
