Connections - Balanced and Unbalanced
There are two basic types of audio system interconnections for very low to medium level audio signals: Balanced and unbalanced. Your EON10 G2 can accept either type of input.
Balanced Lines
In audio, a balanced line is a
cancelled out by the opposite signals at the receiving end. Balanced connections are preferred for any longer cable runs.
Unbalanced Lines
Unbalanced cable is a
Unbalanced Sources to EON Powered Loudspeakers
If you need to connect your EON speakers to an unbalanced source you have two options:
•Use the INPUT 2 and INPUT 3 connectors. These inputs are balanced but will accept unbalanced inputs without the need for any special adapters.
•Use an adapter or special cable (see the section “Cables and Connectors”).
Loudspeaker Placement and Mounting
The following guidelines will help you achieve optimum sound wherever you use your EON loudspeakers:
Raise the speakers as high as possible. For best results try to get the high frequency horn at least 2 to 4 feet above the heads of the audience. If the speakers are too low, the people in the back of the audience will not receive the best quality of sound.
Place the speakers between the microphones and the audience. Feedback occurs when the microphones pick up sound from the speakers and “feed” the sound back through the sound system. If space is limited, point the speakers away from the microphones to reduce feedback.
Locate the speakers away from turntables.
Use more speakers in large or highly reverberant spaces. Spreading speakers throughout these spaces will produce much better sound than trying to compensate with loudness level or equalization. For very long distances, the use of another set of speakers on a delay is recommended.
Stand speakers upright for PA - Tilt the speakers back for stage monitoring. Upright stance provides even coverage over a wide area. EON speakers are also designed with two slanted positions for stage monitoring applications.
