The JBL EON15P-1 is a versatile, self-powered 15" PA speaker designed for both beginner and professional use. With a built-in bi-amplified system delivering 130 watts to the woofer and 50 watts to the high-frequency driver, it delivers full, punchy sound without needing an external amp. This makes it a great all-in-one solution for small to medium events, live performances, or DJ setups.

Its 15" woofer uses JBL’s Differential Drive® technology for strong low-end performance, while the 1" compression driver ensures clear, articulate highs. The speaker reaches a maximum output of 127 dB and covers a wide 90° x 60° sound field, making it easy to fill a room with clean audio.

Inputs are simple and flexible: an XLR input can be switched between mic and line level, and there's a loop-out XLR for chaining to other speakers. A mix/loop switch allows you to either send a mixed signal out or just pass through the input signal—ideal when using multiple speakers. There are also signal and peak indicator lights to monitor levels on the fly.

The enclosure is rugged, lightweight (about 47 lbs), and pole-mountable, with a built-in handle for easy transport. It also works great laid on its side as a stage monitor. The speaker is passively cooled—there’s no internal fan—so it runs quietly with less risk of overheating.
