JBL EON612 Test and Teardown 

Please man don't stop doing this... you're great... expecting more PA's..!

THE WAVE GUIDE THAT YOU ARE NOT SURE WHAT FOR......is a bandpass 6TH configuration for the low woofer. There are 2 chambers ( the big one reacting with the 2 ports resonators and the little one ( created by the wave guide in front of the cone ). This configuration give a boost in SPL and limit a part of some distorsions. Generally, you can study the bandpass 6th principle also. It;s an old system but rare seen in the fullrange speakers. Usually , seen at very powerfull speakers systems for big venues.

Finally a great detailed video of this!!!

If I could like this video 200 times I would can you guys do more of these you are the best you actually give useful info, not just some old guy playing music without a meter....

Great review and loved the teardown. I already own a pile of eons for small to medium live events and love them. Keep up the good work, thank you!

The fact that you just went right into this speaker no fluff no monologue just right into the video and you didn’t stop taking it apart you I thought you were gonna rip the woofer right outta the basket! This was an awsome video

Very interesting hearing the speaker without the wave guide. IMHO, the wave guide really helps in keeping the speaker natural sounding. It makes it especially useful as a vocal monitor on stage.

Good review . I'd like to see you take apart a JBL PRX 815 to see differences between the two series of powered tops.

I have one else showing the clip to my uncle good clip you're very well detailed and very well-informed on your talk about speakers

I had a 612 eon one time that I converted to passive, and it was a pretty good sounding speaker

The waveguide is there to help control sound dispersion. To help prevent waveform frequency cancellation. It's not to improve frequency response.

love your reviews thanks so much

I’m running these JBLs with an older 18 inch EV sub and they sound amazing.

great video! which fullrange speaker would you recommend to get the "bass in the chest" feeling? I would use it to play hard techno, acidcore,... music genres with a hard kick and bass

Keep breaking them cabs down dude!!! Great video again.

Great review guys thanks

Keep coming with the speaker vids!!!! Im looking for a great sub to buy...

Great video! What are your thoughts on this as a stand-alone system for acoustic singer-songwriter type stuff? The “no low end” made me nervous 😬 Thanks!

Plz plz plz do the JBL SRX 835p !!! Love the videos keep it up!

Thanks vid

going down the rabbit hole of pa systems and I stumbled upon your interesting channel. hope you continue tearing shit apart. maybe get enough subs yah tearing down a heresy 4 or a triangle theta.

Really like your review bro. Yam fajei

Sorry for the delay! New video this week, The second video for the hifi budget series, keep ya eyelids peeled! Thanks for all the comments and support!

Great video!

I wish I’d seen this video before I bought two EON612 amps on eBay. They say they’re rated 1000W, I don’t see how that’s possible. Thanks for the tear down. The replacement EON612 amps I just bought came with no documentation. I also have JBL PRX812w’s, they crank. But none of them approach the volume of my discrete horn, mid, & sub setups.

Do you recommend for spoken word? Say Stand Up comedy in bar, restaurants etc?

Please make more videos please!!!! Also can you make a video about the studio subwoofers on your 10th video please!!!!

Nice video. Would love to see you give the Eon 712 the same treatment.

Hola, cual recomiendas, jbl eon 12” o la bocina QSC PC8 ? Gracias

Would this be good for private karaoke events and wedding reception karaoke?

Which cables I need to conect my JBL 12” and JBL 15” to mackie mix ?🙏

Hey do some rcf fbt and Db tech reviews👍🏾

I'm thinking about getting one to xrl out of my guitar amp wonder how it would sound

Hope one day soon you get a change to have hands of the eon one powered speaker and or that new irx112bt jbl series to have a tear down .

Is jbl eon 612 better than alto ts 212 bluetooth speaker? I need help to choose. Thanks

I have two 612 to replace my old Mackie Srm450 and made a configuration with JBL app via Bluetooth and I it is very impressive the sound of it. If you also have one can do the configuration that Djrickweb did, it looks a total new speaker with that configuration. Thanks for your videos.

So, should I take the Waveguide Plastic Off?

Can you review the cerwin vega cve-15

Where does the cord hook up to? I'm replacing a woofer and this red cord is just here. Help please

Question, I just bought the 610, plugged a mic. In line, and it’s not loud at all, do I need to run a mixer for loudness? If I use the mic option, it is a bit louder. Thoughts? Thank you.

Can a car amplifier work on the speaker

Hi guys will the qsc cp 12 will be better choice the eon 612?

Could I connect some Behringer Eurolive B1200D-PRO to these? Would I just run a cable from the “through”?

can you check out the jbl vrx918s

JBL always old school one of the best.

Great video! Do you know what type of screw bit or screwdriver you used to take the grill off? I bought a Torx 5 point set but none of the bits fit the screws.

Ev zlx, zxa1 sub tear down! 🙃

Does it have deep bass or bass is really good than its patybox speakers

Can you guys Review Alto Ts315?

Can you do some content on best affordable powered subwoofer

Which are the 3-way speakers at rear ?

Does this particular speaker need a amp

Hai raggiunto 118 decibel, ad arrivare ai 126 dichiarati si arriva o sono solo valori dichiarati in eccesso?Grazie

How did you connect Bluetooth ??

Hey I have a vonyx ap1500a and it’s Chinese and I’m tryna find da real version of my speaker if are familiar with my speakers could u pls tell me da acc brand dat makes the speakers thx

can you make a video with yamaha dbr10?

Thanks for the video, I bought a pair of Eon 612'ves refurbished at eBay about 2 years ago. One tweeter blew out on my third gig (I'm a casual Home DJ for home parties), at that time, the speaker was under JBL warranty. This weekend the same thing happened on the other speaker, my question is: Is this a common problem from these Models? I hardly ever use the EONS since I own several other speakers. I find it shocking that after only 8-10 gigs this problem persists. Any comments on this issue? Thanks.

Hi there , i'm from belgium and have a request, can you please do a revieuw of the behringer b1500xp or b1800xp please please....greetings

Jbl Eon 612 vs Rcf art 712 ?????? Thanks

This driver is an upgrade magnet to the jrx225 speaker hehe

Mine is muffled but idk why like the bass and all that I can still hear it like it's being heard through a wall or sum🤦

These speakers are way better than the mackie thump 12a's. I had them both and these blow those out of the water!

mackie trump 15a teardown video please

What about JBL vs Mankie?

You should d oa test and a teardown to the JBL EON618S 1,000 Watt peak 500 RMS. So frickin loud in person and i barely even went up volume and the bass is just INSANELY DEEP BASS AND BOOMING XD I tested it out at the Guitar Center on a couple of my music and holly craP I AM GETTIN' THAT BEAST NOW XD I have 2 2,000 Watt QSC K10 K.2 10 inch top subwoofer speaker. Insanely loud and thumping punching bass from them. I have the Gains set to the 12 O' clock position and i barely have the volume up (I always have the setting preset to Dance and i frickin love them. 2 QSC 2,000 Watts 10 inch K.2 K10 10 inch Drivers. (I sound tested them at Guitar Center and i was like Oh my god i am GETTIN' DEM BOYZ XD AND ALSO I SOUND TESTED THE JBL EON 618S 1,000 WATT SUBWOOFER LOL. SO INSANELY LOUD AND DEEP BASS OF PUNCHING DEEP THUMPING BASS ASWELL. It shook the entire big display-room / show-room. I'm soon gonna get it in like 2 more months.

I will like to get a review on the jbl eon618 sub

That coil you found on the speaker leads is probably to filter out any 400kHz from the class D oscillator. Any chance you have a copy of the schematic? Or know how to get one?

Hmm where the hell is the process box?

Usually I use the volume of speakers at 12h. But those have volume knobs. Which position should I use those master and Chanel volumes to make them sound loud without have any damage on speaker?

Where do you get these at $299?

When you going to review the Jbl Irx 12? And great vid by the way

Which pair of speakers are they in the background. 4x4

Bro bu removing the wave guide you lose the bass response of those speaker I did that and thought my boxes were bad put them back on and you will notic the difference....

What speaker you recommend that can be used alone?

What do you think about the eon 610?

Now please review the EON 618s

Do i see a folded horn box in the background? Or am I tripping

Zlx please!!

This one or the alto ts312?

108dB ? Something wrong with the spl meter ? Description read... 126dB max SPL from what distance half than 1m. :O I like the video anyway. 🙃

I broke those two times there bad never get those eon again

Is JBL party box 300 better than it ?

The manufacturing quality is better in Mexico then in China .

My EON G2's were $799 new. These new EON's are cheap and they sound like it lol. That's what happens when buyers demand cheap prices

Wow, JBL loaded with a $10 woofer and dry (non-ferrofluid cooled) tweeter. Its light, its loud, its clear, its not cheap and is made cheaply BUT it has a wingnut yaaay... R.I.P. - JBL

1200W my arse. I bet it doesn't reach even half that.

No bluetooth streaming. Lame! Got this for small gatherings to stream via bluetooth and you cannot do that with these speakers.

JBL eon6 no bass

Just started the video and the music is driving me crazy! Sorry , I have to go.

JBL eon610 is more louder

China

Where is the damn fuse? ARRRGHH Please point out the fuse. Please....

crap

You’re dangerous to DJ societies

The components were incredibly cheap, no wonder the whole thing was so light, I don’t think it would stand up to sustained high volumes. To be fair though, it is common among all companies to use cheap components, it’s just that these are among the worst I’ve seen

that is cheap junk
