Mounting / Suspending EON Speakers

EON speakers are designed for portable applications in which the speakers will be stacked directly on the floor, stage, speaker stands, or a solid, stable platform. Optional accessory items are available from JBL Professional and after-market suppliers to facilitate suspension and wall /ceiling mounting of EON speakers. Only those items recommended by JBL Professional should be used. When using these items, review all enclosed documentation and carefully follow all instructions and safety precautions.

CAUTION: Suspension of speakers should be done by qualified persons following safe rigging standards and practices. Unsafe mounting or overhead suspension of any heavy load can result in serious injury and equipment damage.

Care and Maintenance

While your EON speakers are rugged and will provide years of service, some common sense care in handling will prevent damage and preserve appearance.

If your speakers will be frequently moved, consider a padded carrying bag (see AVAILABLE ACCESSORIES).

If your EON speakers have been subjected to prolonged exposure to extreme low temperatures, avoid subjecting them to heavy mechanical shock and warm the speakers up by playing at a low
