ANAHEIM, California –
HARMAN’s JBL Professional today announced that its EON Series of
portable powered loudspeakers has been inducted into the TEC Foundation’s
TECnology Hall of Fame. The TEC Foundation for Excellence in Audio established
the TECnology Hall of Fame in 2004 to recognize audio products and innovations
that have made a significant contribution to the advancement of audio
technology. Inductees are chosen by a panel of more than 50 recognized audio
experts.
When the JBL EON series was introduced in 1995 it single-handedly
started the portable powered speaker revolution. The first two EON15P and
EON10P models answered the need for powerful, easy-to-use, lightweight and
durable portable PA and musical instrument speakers that combined the
convenience of built-in amplification with outstanding sound quality.
The EON Series introduced a host of technical and design innovations
including JBL’s patented Differential Drive® transducers, which
employ a pair of in-line voice coils in separate magnetic gaps instead of the
usual single voice coil-gap combination to enable maximum performance with
minimum weight and more effective use of available enclosure space. The use of
JBL’s Thermomaster® Total Thermal Management System provided
efficient cooling without the need for fans or bulky heatsinks.
The EON Series was an instant hit, embraced by
consumers and fueling the subsequent growth of the powered molded-enclosure
integrated system segment of the MI market. Over time, the EON series evolved
and expanded. The second-generation G2 models offered upgraded drivers, higher
power and expanded input functionality. Today, the JBL EON Series continues its
tradition of excellence with the 2-way, 15-inch EON515XT.
“We are extremely proud that our EON series has been chosen for
induction into the TECnology Hall of Fame,” said Andy Flint, Senior Manager, Portable PA Marketing, JBL
Professional. “EON has become the industry standard for portable powered speakers
and we are gratified that the TEC judging panel has recognized the EON Series
with one of pro audio’s most prestigious honors.”
