About the JBL EON208P

Bob Bihlmayer

Portable EON

JBL's EON Series powered speakers have set the bar for performance over the last few years. Now, JBL offers the EON 208P portable self-contained PA system — two familiar EON-style cabinets which latch onto a central module containing the mixer and power amp. The entire package weighs only 38 pounds, yet gives you a complete PA system with 300 watts of power. The power cords for the mixer unit and the speaker connecting cables even have their own storage space.

8-channel mixer 

The 8-channel mixer offers all the connections and features you need for a good show.

  • Channels 1-4 have inputs for line (1/4") and microphone (XLR) connections, along with tone controls and onboard reverb.
  • Channels 1 and 2 feature switchable phantom power for your mics.
  • Channel 3 features a Hi-Z switch for use with guitars and other instruments.
  • Channels 5/6 offer RCA and 1/4" balanced connectors and a volume control.
  • Channels 7/8 offer a set of RCA inputs and accept a 3.5mm plug from your personal media devices.

Bluetooth®

The mixer features Bluetooth connectivity, allowing you to stream audio to the mixer from your mobile devices. This makes the 208P ideal for health clubs, houses of worship, presentations, and other applications where pre-recorded material is played. The mixer also features RCA and 1/4" monitor outputs that let you connect with recording gear, additional powered speakers, or another mixer, along with a subwoofer output to connect a powered sub.

8" speakers

JBL designed these EON speakers for portability and quality sound. The 8" woofers lay down the low end, while the 1" nylon tweeters fill in the details. Polypropylene enclosures with perforated steel grilles protect the speakers from bumps and dings. The speakers also feature standard 36mm pole sockets.

What would be a recommended wireless microphone system?

I would be happy to help, Derek. If you are planning on scooping up the delicious JBL EON208P portable PA to do some small gigs, check out these wireless mic options in the links below. The Samson Stage 200 in the first link is a fantastic 2 mic budget option with great performance. For something a bit more road-worthy go with the new Shure GLXD24+SM58 bundle in the second link. The SM58 has been a standard of the live performance world for as long as I can remember! https://www.crutchfield.com/p_899SW20HD/Samson-Stage-200.html https://www.crutchfield.com/p_183GL24S5Z/Shure-GLXD24-SM58.html

Q
Can you extend the speaker cables? And if so how far? If not what other options do you suggest to get the speakers father away?
michael  Aug 24, 2020
1 answer
A
It comes with two standard 1/4 inch speaker cables that are about 15 feet each for the speakers to plug in. So if you put the mixer/amp in the middle and speakers on either side the speakers would be roughly 30 feet apart. However, if you needed them further apart you could always purchase longer 1/4 inch cables.
