Indicators

PEAK

The PEAK LED (Light Emitting Diode) illuminates to indicate that the system is approaching clipping. The threshold for this light is actually about 2 dB below clipping. An occasional flickering of this light on the loudest peaks is acceptable. If this LED is on for more than the duration of brief dynamic peaks, the system is being overdriven. Continuously over-driving the system will result in unpleasant and fatiguing distortion and may lead to premature failure of your speaker system.

If the PEAK LED illuminates excessively:

Reduce INPUT 1, 2, and 3.

Reduce the output level of the mixer, musical instrument, or other source connected to the speaker.

If there is a great deal of LF EQ or HF EQ boost, return the controls to the “flat” (centered) position.

SIGNAL

Illuminates to indicate a usable signal from INPUT 1.

MIC

This LED lights to indicate that the MIC/LINE switch is in the MIC (depressed) position.

VOLTAGE SELECTION AND FUSES

Changing Voltage

Your EON15-G2 will typically be set at the factory to accommodate the power mains voltage in your area. Before you set up your EON15-G2 for the first time it is a good idea to verify that the setting of the selector is appropriate for the power in your area. In the event that you do need to change the voltage:

Make sure that the speaker is powered off and the AC is disconnected from the speaker..

Directly below the male IEC connector on the speaker is a voltage selector. Break the factory-applied seal and slide the switch to the appropriate setting.

Set the voltage selector switch to the 115V or 230V setting as required for your area.

After having reconfirmed that the correct voltage is selected, reconnect the AC (IEC connector) and power the unit up.

DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES OPERATE THE UNIT WITH THE WRONG VOLTAGE SELECTED. DOING SO MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS DAMAGE TO YOUR SPEAKER SYSTEM WHICH WILL NOT BE COVERED BY WARRANTY.

Fuse Replacement

The EON15 G2 has no user-serviceable fuses. Failure of fuses is most frequently a symptom of problems requiring service by a competent technician.
