JBL EON 715 - 15-inch Active PA Speaker with Bluetooth and DSP
The JBL EON 715 represents the evolution of one of the most iconic powered speaker series on the market. Since its launch in 1995, the JBL EON family has been synonymous with performance and reliability. This 15-inch model takes that legacy to a new level, integrating the latest acoustic technology, high-quality components, and advanced DSP control to deliver a professional sound experience in a portable and easy-to-use format. Designed for musicians, DJs, sound rental companies, and any professional who demands clear, powerful sound, the EON 715 is a complete and versatile PA solution.
At its core, the EON 715 is powered by an ultra-efficient Class D amplifier delivering 1,300 watts of peak power and 650 watts RMS. This power drives a custom-designed 15-inch woofer and JBL’s acclaimed 2414H compression driver. The result is a wide and accurate frequency response, from deep, punchy bass down to 45 Hz to crystal-clear highs, reaching an impressive 128 dB maximum SPL. Coverage is always even and consistent thanks to a redesigned high-frequency horn and JBL’s advanced waveguide technology, ensuring that everyone in the audience, regardless of their location, receives clear, balanced sound.
Main Features
Superior Acoustic Performance
The EON 715 combines state-of-the-art transducers with optimized amplification to ensure exceptional sound quality. The 15-inch woofer has been redesigned for lower impedance and greater efficiency, while the 2414H compression driver with neodymium magnet delivers a balanced response with reduced weight. Its improved waveguide provides controlled 90° horizontal and 60° vertical dispersion, ideal for wide and even coverage.
Advanced DSP dbx DriveRack
It integrates a comprehensive digital signal processing (DSP) suite developed by dbx. This includes professional features such as Automatic Feedback Suppression (AFS), which intelligently eliminates feedback, an 8-band parametric equalizer for precise tonal adjustment, and ducking functions, which automatically attenuate the music when a microphone signal is detected. It also features a delay of up to 100 ms for aligning speakers in distributed systems.
Total Control and Bluetooth 5.0 Connectivity
Take complete control of the sound from anywhere in the venue using the universal JBL Pro Connect app for iOS and Android. Connect via Bluetooth 5.0 to adjust all DSP parameters, manage the built-in 3-channel mixer, or wirelessly stream audio with low latency and extended range. Bluetooth 5.0 technology also allows you to set up a true wireless stereo pair without the need for cables.
Versatility of Inputs and Outputs
The EON 715 is equipped with a 3-channel digital mixer. It features two XLR/Jack combo inputs that accept line-level or microphone-level signals, and an XLR pass-through output for sending the signal to other speakers, facilitating system expansion. Access to the mixer and DSP functions is also possible via the backlit color LCD screen on the rear panel.
