EON Connect (Beta) User Guide v1.1

I. Introduction

EON Connect is a smart device application for controlling up to four JBL EON600

speakers via the EON’s built-in Bluetooth functionality. EON600's DSP parameters,

which include 3 Parametric EQs, a Hi and Lo Shelf, delay, output mixing, and preset

creation are available exclusively through this app. Users can also update their

speakers' firmware using EON Connect.

EON600 is a true step forward in technology developed specifically to deliver the

best sound possible regardless of its application. Completely rethinking how truly

good an affordable self-contained, portable PA system can be, JBL engineers

purposely designed and built the EON600 from the ground up featuring JBL’s

advanced waveguide technology, JBL designed and manufactured transducers, and

convenient, wireless remote control of its onboard DSP EQ parameters via

Bluetooth. This total redesign of the EON platform leverages the latest technologies

in cabinet materials, acoustic science, transducer design and user friendliness that

delivers the extraordinary quality of a high-end studio monitor in a fully

professional, highly flexible, easy to use, portable system.

This guide is meant to give the EON user a short description of all its features as

well as troubleshoot most issues.

Please note that EON Connect is only compatible with Bluetooth LE enabled

devices; the Android Version must also be 4.4 and up and iOS must be

version 7 or later.

X. Frequently Asked Questions The app crashes every time it’s opened. What do I do? It is possible that the mobile device’s Android version is lower than 4.4. Go to the OS Settings menu and update the Android version to 4.4 or greater. I connected the speaker to my Android/iOS device from the Bluetooth Settings menu, but a PIN/password is being requested.
PAGE 15
I have three/four EONs but they don’t get added to the slots. How can I successfully control all using the app? This usually happens when there is a lot of Bluetooth devices nearby and/or a lot of signal interference. You may need to switch off unwanted bluetooth devices and try again. After firmware update, only the Power LED on the speaker blinks.
