The audio section of the EON15 G2 includes powerful features that enhance the flexibility of your EON15 G2 speakers.

Connectors

INPUT 1

This balanced input accepts a standard XLR (female) connector. A broad range of signals (-44 dBu to +20 dBu nominal) from microphones, audio mixing consoles, and electronic musical instruments may be connected here. When using a single audio input to the speaker, this is the input to use. The sensitivity of this input is controlled by the MIC/LINE SWITCH and the INPUT 1 rotary control.

INPUT 2 & INPUT 3

These 1/4” phone jacks are intended for use with audio devices including cassette tape, CD, MP3 players, computer sound-card outputs, electronic keyboards, and electric/acoustic musical instruments. INPUTS 2 and 3 are balanced (TRS) but will accept unbalanced inputs with no special adapters needed. The level of these inputs is controlled by the INPUT 2 and INPUT 3 rotary controls.

OUT

This XLR (male) output connector works with the MIX/LOOP SWITCH to provide a method of sending audio from your EON15 G2.

Switches

MIC/LINE

The MIC/ LINE switch effects only INPUT 1. It selects between two sensitivity ranges. This switch is used to match the input sensitivity of the EON15 G2 with the output level of the device connected to INPUT 1. Depressing the MIC/LINE switch selects MIC (most sensitive).

CAUTION: Before adjusting this switch, be certain to rotate the INPUT 1 control fully counter-clockwise. After the MIC/LINE switch has been adjusted, slowly rotate the INPUT 1 control clock-wise until the desired volume has been reached.

Use the MIC position (depressed) when a microphone is connected to INPUT 1.

Use the LINE position (disengaged) when a line level source such as an audio mixing console, audio playback device, or electronic musical instrument is connected to INPUT 1.
