JBL EON15 G2 Portable Speaker User Manual


 
• Keep the exterior of the speaker enclosure clean. Use a damp rag with a general-purpose
household detergent. For grease and marking tape residue, use a damp cloth with isopropyl
alcohol or mineral spirits and wipe dry. Do not use powerful solvents like acetone, MEK, lacquer
thinner or 1,1,1-Trichloro-ethane (household cleaning fluid). These solvents will damage painted and
co-polymer surfaces of your speakers.
• EON speakers are not intended for fixed installation in outdoor environments. Moisture can
damage the speaker cone and surround, cause corrosion of electrical contacts, and create an
electrical shock hazard. Protect your speakers from moisture. Avoid exposing the speakers to
direct moisture. Any electrically powered device can produce dangerous shock hazards when wet
or exposed to moisture. Keep speakers out of extended or intense direct sunlight. The driver
suspension will prematurely dry out and finished surfaces will be degraded by long-term exposure
to intense ultra-violet (UV) light.
Stand Mounting
Your EON speakers include a 35mm receptacle cup to facilitate mounting on tripod stands. When
using stands, be sure to observe the following precautions:
• EON speakers include a thumb-screw that can be tightened to lock the speaker to the tripod
stand. Before mounting the speaker on the stand, be sure to loosen the screw so that it doesn’t
prevent the pole from fully penetrating the socket.
• Check the stand specification to be certain it is designed to support the weight of the speaker
(see specifications). Observe all safety precautions specified by the stand manufacturer.
• Always verify that the stand is placed on a flat, level, and stable surface.
• Route cables so that performers, production crew, and audience will not trip over them and pull
the speaker over.
• Be sure to fully extend the legs of tripod type stands.
• Position the stand so that the legs do not present a trip hazard.
• Do not attempt to place more than one speaker on a stand designed for a single speaker.
• 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.
Electrical Safety
All EON products are fitted with a detachable power cord (supplied) which connects to the AC
mains and the back panel of the loudspeaker. The power cord has an IEC female connector on
one end and a male mains connector on the other end. This cord is supplied specifically to
accommodate the different worldwide safety and electrical code requirements. The power cord
supplied with your EON product has a 3-pin type plug. Do not cut off or damage the grounding
plug. Like any electrical appliance, your EON powered speakers should not be used in water or
when wet.
