Mounting / Suspending EON
®
Speakers
EON speakers are designed for portable applications in which the speakers will be stacked directly on the oor,
stage, speaker stands, or a solid, stable platform. When placed on a smooth surface such as polished wood
or linoleum, the speakers may move due to acoustical energy output. Precautions should be taken to assure
that the speaker does not fall off the stage or table on which it is placed. 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 EON speakers should be done by qualied persons following safe rigging standards
and practices. Unsafe mounting or overhead suspension of any heavy load can result in serious injury and
equipment damage.
CAUTION: When suspending this product carefully follow JBL instructions and local ordinances. Do not attempt
to use unless you have read and understood all instructions including the JBL User’s Guide. Attachment of the
loudspeaker to a supporting structure should be referred to a qualied professional.
Stand Mounting Safety Precautions
EON series full range models include a 36 mm receptacle cup to allow mounting on tripod stands or on a pole
over subwoofers. When using stands or poles, be sure to observe the following precautions:
EON speakers include a thumb-screw that must be tightened to secure the speaker to the tripod stand. Before
mounting the speaker on the stand, be sure to loosen the screw so that it doesn’t prevent the pole from fully
penetrating the socket.
Check the stand or pole specication to be certain the device is designed to support the weight of the speaker.
Observe all safety precautions specied by the manufacturer.
Always verify that the stand (or subwoofer/pole) is placed on a at, level and stable surface and be sure to fully
extend the legs of tripod type stands. Position the stand so that the legs do not present a trip hazard.
• Route cables so that performers, production crew, and audience will not trip and topple the speakers over.
Inspect the stand (or pole and associated hardware) before each use and do not use equipment with worn,
damaged or missing parts.
• Do not attempt to place more than one EON series speaker on a stand or pole.
Always be cautious in windy, outdoor conditions. It may be necessary to place additional weight (i.e. sandbags)
on the base of the stand to improve stability. Avoid attaching banners or similar items to any part of a speaker
system. Such attachments could act as a sail and topple the system.
Unless you are condent that you can handle the weight of the speaker, ask another person to help you get it
onto the tripod stand or pole.
Hearing Damage, Prolonged Exposure to Excessive SPL
EON series loudspeakers are easily capable of generating sound pressure levels (SPL) sufcient to cause
permanent hearing damage to performers, production crew and audience members. Caution should be taken
to avoid prolonged exposure to SPL in excess of 90 dB.
