any recording devices or additional speakers like a personal monitor, subwoofer or “Front of House” feed.
The Basics
While it looks complicated, the mixing board is actually a very simple device. A “mixing board” brings audio
routing the signal and adding effects to individual input sources. The abundance of knobs is simply due to the
repetitive nature of the design.
AUDIO INPUTS
The EON 210P has 8 inputs: 4 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
a combination input connector, MIC/LINE selector, Treble and Bass controls, a Reverb send and a channel

STEREO INPUTS
The EON 210P 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 “STEREO IN 5/6” offer the option of using ¼"phone plugs or RCA plugs and this
channel has a volume control. The input labeled “STEREO IN 7/8” 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 210P has 3 stereo pairs of outputs:
1. LEFT/RIGHT speaker outputs - These outputs should only be
connected to the EON 210P 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
2. “MONITOR OUTPUTS”
These outputs allow you to route the stereo mixer signal to another
destination like a recording device, personal monitor, subwoofer
connectors of the destination device, you can use either the ¼"phone
jacks or the RCA jacks.
a. “MONITOR OUTPUT VOLUME”
This controls the overall volume of the MONITOR OUTPUT.
3. HEADPHONE OUTPUT
This output allows the user to listen to the main output the EON 210P mixer.
Headphones used will require a 3.5 mm stereo plug.
MASTER VOLUME and “PEAK LED LADDER”
Your EON 210P is equipped with a “Master Volume” that controls the overall
output volume of the system and a 5 light “Peak LED Ladder” that gives you
a visual display of how much power you are using (think of the speedometer
the maximum output by blinking or, when it stays on constantly, indicates you
have reached the maximum output. As a frame of reference if a channel volume
is on “7” and the “MASTER VOLUME” is on “7” you will have reached the
maximum output before distortion is audible.

DIGITAL EFFECTS
Your EON 210P is equipped with digital multi-effects designed to enhance instruments or vocals. There are
four effects available on the EON 210P.
An effect on a vocal or instrument can create a very natural sense of space for the listener and is great fun for
the performer. Used correctly, effects enhance a voice or instrument in a very musical way but, when used to
excess, they can make the music or voice less intelligible and unnatural. As a basic place to start turn the
EFFECT control to “5” on the appropriate channel. Start with the EFX RETURN on “5” and then select an effect
that is suitable for your application. If there is too much effect then turn down the EFX RETURN to suit your taste.
Located on each mono input strip
is a control labeled “EFFECT”. This
control determines the amount of
“EFX SELECT”

Section 7: Reference
Balanced vs. Unbalanced Lines
Your EON 210P PA system can accept either type of input. There are two basic types of audio system
interconnections for audio signals: Balanced and Unbalanced.
Balanced Lines
In audio, a balanced line is a three-conductor system in which the two signal wires carry an equal, but opposite
voltage with respect to the ground wire. The ground wire acts only as a shield and does not carry any audio
internal signal conductor, or if it gets into the cable is cancelled out by the opposite signals at the receiving end.
Balanced connections are preferred for long cable runs.
Unbalanced Lines
signal conductors. The center conductor enclosed by the shield is commonly known as the “hot” conductor.
Unbalanced audio cables do not reject noise as well as balanced lines. Unbalanced lines are typical in home
the components is short, the signal level is relatively high and all of the electronics used in the system are
plugged into the same AC service.
