At the January NAMM Show in Anaheim, California, JBL Professional displayed the entire EON G2 "Generation 2" line of powered speakers. Among the new products being displayed and demonstrated is the EON10 G2 compact powered speaker with 10" woofer, increased power and a three input mini-mixer. The EON10 G2 is ideal for AV applications, smaller musical and spoken word performances and, when combined with the new EONSUB G2 powered subwoofer, provides a full range sound system with full range power for more demanding performance and playback applications.

"The first generation EON10 was very popular, not only with musicians, but with hotels, meeting planners, AV companies and just about any application where portable compact sound reinforcement was needed," stated Michael MacDonald, president of JBL Professional. "Its successor, EON10 G2 offers more power, more flexibility and refined appearance that will make it even more appropriate for its many types of users."

The EON10 G2 features increased power over the first generation EON 10, with 125 watts for low frequencies and 50 watts for the highs. The 10" Differential Drive(r) low frequency driver uses a neodymium magnet for light weight and reduced distortion. The one inch JBL 2412 compression driver features a titanium diaphragm and ferro-fluid cooling. The EON10 G2 shares the same appearance improvements with its larger companion EON15 G2, including new black co-polymer enclosure material and a mini-mixer with three inputs. An additional XLR output allows EON Speakers to be daisy-chained together.

With its versatile cabinet design, the EON10 G2 can be used in several different ways. As a front of house speaker, the EON10 G2 can sit on a flat horizontal surface or be raised in the air using standard tripod speaker stands. The cabinet has also been designed to let the EON10 G2 be stack snugly atop the EONSUB G2. In addition, the angled back of the speaker allows its use as a vocal or instrument monitor onstage.
