"Given the performance of the 612, if you're in the market for a high quality portable PA for small to medium venues at around this price point, the new JBL EON600 series are loudspeakers that you really should be auditioning".
The JBL EON612 portable loudspeakers are reviewed in the new issue of Guitar Interactive magazine where they are praised, in particular, for having a “high quality, evenly dispersed sound”, an “easy to use remote control app for DSP EQ functions”, that they are “easy to carry” and are “well-priced”.
“The sonic performance of the earlier incarnations of the JBL EON was highly-regarded and the new 600 series certainly lives up to it’s ancestors’ reputation. In the real world, their increased power translates not only into absolute volume, but also into an increased dynamic headroom that delivers fast transients with ease giving the 612 an increase in clarity of delivery over its predecessors”.
“High frequencies sounded smooth and clear, the midrange was well-controlled with its upper ranges integrating well with the treble to give a sound character that was both accurate and easy to listen to. The overall coverage from the 612s was really even due, no doubt, to the new waveguides - in particular, the low frequency waveguide design that certainly seems to be very effective in controlling the lower midrange dispersion”.
“A radical overhaul of a successful product line is always fraught with danger but, in the 612, JBL has succeeded in producing a worthy inheritor of the EON mantle, Although it is more powerful and, in some ways, better-sounding than its ancestors, the 612 hasn’t lost the musical quality that made the original EONs so popular over the years”.
