JBL EON Portable Powered Loudspeakers Inducted Into TECnology Hall of Fame

Harman's JBL Professional announced that its EON Series of portable powered loudspeakers has been inducted into the TEC Foundation's TECnology Hall of Fame. The TEC Foundation for Excellence in Audio established the TECnology Hall of Fame in 2004 to recognize audio products and innovations that have made a significant contribution to the advancement of audio technology. Inductees are chosen by a panel of more than 50 recognized audio experts.

When the JBL EON series was introduced in 1995, it singlehandedly started the portable powered speaker revolution. The first two EON15P and EON10P models answered the need for powerful, easy-to-use, lightweight, and durable portable PA and musical instrument speakers that combined the convenience of built-in amplification with outstanding sound quality.

The EON Series introduced a host of technical and design innovations, including JBL's patented Differential Drive transducers, which employ a pair of in-line voice coils in separate magnetic gaps instead of the usual single voice coil-gap combination to enable maximum performance with minimum weight and more effective use of available enclosure space. The use of JBL's Thermomaster Total Thermal Management System provided efficient cooling without the need for fans or bulky heatsinks.

The EON Series was an instant hit, embraced by consumers and fueling the subsequent growth of the powered molded-enclosure integrated system segment of the MI market. Over time, the EON series evolved and expanded. The second-generation G2 models offered upgraded drivers, higher power, and expanded input functionality. Today, the JBL EON Series continues its tradition of excellence with the two-way, 15" EON515XT.

"We are extremely proud that our EON series has been chosen for induction into the TECnology Hall of Fame," says Andy Flint, senior manager of portable PA marketing at JBL Professional. "EON has become the industry standard for portable powered speakers and we are gratified that the TEC judging panel has recognized the EON Series with one of pro audio's most prestigious honors."
